Busy Weekend

Let's see...Friday night, Graham and I went to the Acadia soccer game. He really enjoyed it for a few reasons...it was under the lights...the crowd was really into it (I think half of them were drunk, but it made for entertainment on his end) and St FX scored a goal on themselves. Elysia had gone to her friend Taylor's house. She wanted to spend the night but mean old mom said no...I do not know her parents so it's a no for sure, she wasn't thrilled with my answer but my job as a parent does not include saying yes to everything. Mike was home by himself with Sofie...that's mom's little dog. We babysat Sofie for mom this weekend, she a good little dog and we can certainly wear her out.

Sat, Graham had his baseball tournament. They played two games...he did quite well. Did some pitching, hit he ball a couple of times, only got out once on a pop up and did some catching. Sat night, Mike, Graham and I went to watch the Kentville Wildcats play...they managed to squeak out a win to keep the series alive. Needless to say, Elysia was not up for a ball game. Graham's friend, Connor was suppose to come with us but as his father put it, he was "serving sanctions"...I think that's a polite was of saying he got in crap.

Sunday it was back to the ball diamond. Mike and I had volunteered our time in the canteen and on the BBQ...guess which part Mike did. Josee, Jeff and Connor came to watch. Sarah and Elysia spent some "cousin" time together. Graham was putting on the show for Auntie Josee and Uncle Jeff...he has picked up alot of the mannerisms from watching baseball on tv...like putting his hand up to the ump while he's "setting up" at the plate, and staring down the pitcher when he almost gets hit with the ball, I thought for a second he might charge the mound...just kidding but the look was menacing. He pitched the last inning and he had to hold them for a win or tie...Graham's team was only up by one and he manged to hold them off for a tie...and if anyone has watched much mosquito baseball, they know that's saying alot for a pitcher at that level. All in all I think he had a good tournament...oh yeah, to top it all off, we went and watched Acadia soccer again...they got their butts whooped.

Soccer registration for the kiddies is this week...I find September such an expensive month...gotta go, my husband informed that So You Think You Can Dance Canada is on...not that he watches it of course.
