What a day

Our day started out rather windy and cold, and ended with a snow storm.
We had Ansen and Keegan for the weekend and they were great.
Saturday was a crazy day of Football, and Hockey back to back. Football was in Spruce Grove and we had to leave the house by 1:00pm. We got to the road and I forgot the blankets, so we turned around to go get them. While I was in the house Avery noticed one of the trees by grandmas was swaying a little more than the rest. We drove over to find that it was uprooted about 3 feet. Grandpa phoned 911 and the Fire Station came and chopped the tree down.
Oakly's Football game was a win or your league is done we were winning 6 nothing going into the 3 quarter and then the other team got a touch down. The game went into a double over time and our boys played hard even though the wind was brutal, we lost 12-6, but before they could call the game 2 of our players were hurt, 1 was helped off the field and the other was taken off the field in an ambulance. During the game the kids were great. We made them a tent out of blankets and blocked the wind the best that we could. They lasted until the middle of the 3 quarter and then I took them to the vehicle to watch a movie.
The game was so long that we had to catch McDonald's on the way home in order to make the Hockey game. We go to the rink in time for Oakly to get dressed in double time and make it for the puck to drop. I took the kids home and Aspen baby sat while I went back and watched Oakly's game. On they way back to the rink a Snow, Wind storm hit and you couldn't wee 1/2 mile in front of you, it was gross and not what we wanted just before Halloween. They won!
Today was another day that we were on the road. Tod was up and at it at 7:30 for his course. Keegan was also awake and that meant I was up. The rest of the house woke up shortly after that and our day began. Shane and Shawna picked up the boys by 11:30 and then we packed up and left for Lacombe, just an hour down the road and we were in another rink ready to cheer on Oakly's Hockey team. They won again!! We stopped at Extra Food's in Lacombe for grocery's and then made our way home.
It has been a busy weekend and now that Football is over it will be a little quieter. :) Our experience with Football was great and Oakly had a lot of fun, I'm just not sure we can do this all over again next year. We will have to wait and see.
