Weekend soccer update

We had four soccer games this weekend - one for each girl on each day! Unfortunately, it's still really cold outside! We bundled up! I was too cold to take pictures, I guess, because I didn't get any good ones. :)

But, here's a recap...

Morgan's game was at 3:30 on Saturday and ended in a tie. They were down 3-1 with about 5 minutes to go. Then, Morgan scored 2 goals to tie it up! They had a couple of chances at the end to win, but just couldn't get it. The game was really exciting, but it started to sleet at the end and we were ready to go!

Avery's game on Saturday was a 3-1 loss. It was after Morgan's game at 6:00, but at a different park. Avery's team has a lot of newer players. They played well, but just couldn't pull off a win. Avery played defense.

On Sunday morning, Morgan played at 10:30 at McCullom. It was cold, but not as windy, so it was more bearable. Avery and I had to leave before halftime of Morgan's game to get to hers which was at the Oak Brook Polo Fields (15 minutes away). But, I did get to see Morgan score a goal! When we left, I think it was 2-0. The game ended in a 3-3 tie, though.

Then, it was off to Avery's game at 11:30. The coach had asked for a couple of girls to help their team out because they only had 9 or 10 players available. So, we had told them Morgan could play in the second half since she would be coming to the game anyway. Avery got to play defense and offense during the game, so she was happy. Morgan showed up a bit after halftime. The team was tied 1-1, then the other team scored, so we were down 2-1. The second half seemed to go on forever (like literally the parents on the sideline who were timing it said they were playing over the 30 minutes!) Anyway, there were a few minutes left and Morgan scored a goal to tie it up. So, the girls were all happy! :)

After the game, Avery ate Subway in the car and went straight to rehearsal for HSM Jr. Morgan and I went to Learning Express to pick up some dope slime with her tooth fairy money. Then, we picked Avery up from rehearsal and rested for about an hour before Grandma Ruth and Uncle Scott came over. We celebrated Ruth's birthday with dinner (she requested pork chops!) and strawberry shortcake. Scott was in town picking up some stuff from Ruth, so it was nice for us all to get together.
