Rest Day

It was all systems go today. This was the first Saturday in ages that the football pitches were playable and both boys had games.  Jack 'turned' at Christmas time - he decided to leave the gaelic he's been playing since the age of four and join the soccer team, and this was the first match he'd be playing in... Very exciting, so we were all up early.  It was soooo cold this morning that I was scurrying around trying to find under armour tops, leggings, hats, scarves, and gloves.  The lads seemed pretty cold in their shorts but I was nice and warm on the sideline!

I got to see the second half of Bobby's game and the first half of Jack's.  Bobby's team has not lost a game in over a  year, and today was no exception.  Bobby also scored a hat trick, again nothing new there!  :-)    Poor Jack was so nervous -  he had a few really good tries, but just not on target.  I had to leave the game early to take Ava to her party and before I reached the car Bernard texted me that Jack has scored!  So annoyed I missed it, but so happy for him!  Has given him a much needed confidence boost.  His team won as well today!  We'll celebrate with a bottle of wine later - when the kids are tucked up asleep in bed, of course.

I drove Ava to her party...  Came home for lunch...  Sorted out clothes for Bobby's football party - tracksuit bottoms with no holes in the knees, which took a while to find...  Spent fifteen minutes trying to explain to Bobby why, yes it does matter that there are no holes in your trousers.  No, I don't care that all the other boys will probably be wearing trousers with holes.  Yes, it is important that you look nice going to the party...   Collected Ava from the party... Got petrol - by the time I drove into the garage I think the car was running on fumes...   Brought Bobby to his party...  Did food shopping...  Collected Bobby from his party. (nobody had holes in their trousers that I could see)... Cooked dinner...  Brought Bobby to mass (his communion is in May)...  Made popcorn for movie night...  

I didn't get doing a run but then again today was a 'Rest Day' on my schedule.
