This weekend has been a busy one for us...yet again! Friday night we headed to Guelph to try and find MacKenzie a snowsuit since we have been on the hunt for that for a few weeks now. We did finally find one....and thank god we did! I also managed to get all the 3 kids the remainder of their clothes for Christmas pictures coming up in a few weeks. We got home, dropped Aiden and Evan off at Gramma and Grampa Dougallys' for a sleepover as MacKenzie had a Ringette Tournament the next day. Aiden had hockey as well Saturday morning and then he was headed to a birthday party.Yesterday I felt like a Rink Rat.....lol....12 hours in an Arena. Needless to say I was exhausted last night....so to bed early I went....only to be up way to early this morning:(
The Ringette team played Great Games all day....I mean 12 hours of Ringette....these kids had had enough by their last game....the fuel had definatly died for them.
Their first game was at 8:30am-They won that game 15-2 I think. MacKenzie got 2 goals, and was very Happy to be the one who scored the first goal of the game:)
The next game was @ 10:30am-They won this game 17-0. MacKenzie again had 2 goals. This game was both BORING....but also very EXCITING.
We have 2 bunnies(5-7 year olds-some first time players) that play on our team as the bunny team folded this year. We also have a few new players that are first year players and some that have never skated before. EVERYONE on the team got a goal in this game!!! There were some pretty excited kids as well as Emotional Moms'....lol. It was great to see these kids get goals...we all know what it's like!!!
After this game we had a few hours to kill so we thought we should feed these overworked kids.....BAD IDEA.....we went out for lunch, packed their bellies full...a little too full as the next game we lost 5-1....which was still a good game, but we just couldn't score....not for lacking of trying either....they had to of had 1000 shots on net.
The last game of the night was 6:00pm which was for the Championship game....we played the same team we lost to the game before.
They lost this game 7-2-MacKenzie got both the goals this game. The girls were so beat, they had no energy left...and I mean who would have....most of them probably up since 6:30 or earlier, they were exhausted. But they had a fun day and came out with 2 wins and 2 losses. They all got medals and I'm sure they were all fast asleep once they got in their cars to come home.

The ride home.....it rained pretty much all day in Fergus, by the time we left there at 7pm...it was sooooooo snowy outside...unbelievable. Our drive home was rather slow, you couldn't see the lines on the road, and the blinding snow coming down made it even harder to see. You found tracks on the road and you stayed in those tracks or else....the slush and snow would have pulled you in a direction you didn't want to go:(....but we made it::
Today we are supposed to be heading to Tara for another game, and then to my Dad's for supper, but if the weather keeps up and is anything like last night,
we won't be going anywhere.
