Soccer is done!

Soccer is done in the McKinnon household for the summer. Elysia's team did not make the playoffs and Graham's team had their parent game (I may have let in a goal or two before I left). Elysia moves up to the U16 level this winter, I may coach. Sarah said she would play if I could coach her, Sarah and Elysia have one year where they play the same level so it would be kind of neat to have them on the same team. Graham still has a few baseball games done...

...then it's back to school...according to my daughter it's only 15 more days. We did the school supply shopping last night...cha,ching. It sure adds up quickly. It's funny though how easy they throw the stuff in the cart when it's on mommy's dollar.

Slightly hooked on watching the Olympics. Mike and I watched Michael Phelps win the other night by .01 of a second...how do you even measure that? It was pretty exciting to see. I was also excited to see Ian Miller win a team silver...60 years old, that's amazing. Watched some of the trampoline...I would puke doing that, ten jumps with all the twists and turns in a row. Anyway, it's excited and the coverage has been good.

Took Sarah to her last soccer game last night, they lost their playoff game, the team they played was good, I heard one of the parents saying they had won all their games this year, minus the first one, they have won all the tournaments they had entered...it showed.

Connor's is winding down, he has two more league games and then they will have playdowns...should be interesting to see.

Mike is getting busier at work...the sports teams are starting to arrive back and then the frosh and then the rest of the students. I think he was getting used to the reasonable peace and quiet of the summer.

It was pouring rain when I left work today, only drove 40 with the wipers on high...it was raining "to beat the band" as my mother would say...

I vow to be a better blogger again!
