Second place

Well, we have spent the last two weekends at a soccer tournament in Florissant and it ended with Emily's team in the championship game against the other Assumption first grade team. Kids who were friends at school were in fierce competition against one another. It came down to a tie which went into double overtime then a shootout, best of 5. That is where it all went sour. Our poor goalie was in tears when we lost even though she was the only one to score during the game which got us into a tie. We all did our best to cheer her up and most of the other girls could have cared less because the trophies for second place were the same size as first. Finally Em got her trophy with a little soccer player on it. That was true success for her. She also was goalie for the first half and stopped all but one ball. My nerves are shot after all these intense games. I get way too into it but with the Rams and Cardinals sucking so bad I have to put my energy into something.
We were totally rained out at 6flags yesterday and Emily found out she is too short for the upsidedown rollercoasters. Bummer! She was so ready. Jackie had a Wii/ Rock Band party last night that went into the WIII hours of the morning so I am exhausted. I like to watch people do rock band but way to hard for me to enjoy playing it. I guess I do not have an inner drummer like Jax that is just dying to get out! Have a good day!
