This weekend saw the end of Matthew's regular season hockey and soccer play. His hockey team played a great game against another South Delta team and lost by one. It was the other team's first win of the season and the smiles on their faces were well worth the loss. Matthew has such a love of the game, it is always fun to watch him play and listen to his commentary after the game!
The fall/winter is a busy time in our family. Megan skates twice a week for 2 hours each time (1 hour off ice training and 1 hour on ice), dances Thursdays for 2 hours, and attends Sparks on Tuesday nights (I am one of her leaders). Matthew plays both hockey and soccer. Scott is also one of the coaches of Matt's soccer team. Matthew thrives on being active and being outside and never complains about going to anything. Megan, on the other hand has been less enthusiastic these past few months about skating. I wish the "intensity" of the activities didn't have to heighten as the kids aged. The increased time at the ice rink this year took the 'fun' out of it for Megan. She does love to skate but also loves to come home from school and relax or have friends over to play. This year the balance scale was tipped too much towards sports. This Friday is the big skating show and although we look forward to event, we are also happy to see it end. Next year, we definitely plan to scale her activities down.
Saturday afternoon Matthew warmed up from his day at the soccer jamboree with a nice, warm, bubble bath!
