The boys played the Warlords last night. The team they beat 2 years ago for championship. There were really only 2 remaining team members from their old team. One of which was the goalie, who was wearing the biggest hockey pads I have ever seen. He literally covered 3/4 of the goal. But we rocked them 10-2. Also one of their players got a yellow card, and one got a red card for slashing and throwing his stick after the call. The supervisor said he only has problems when our team is playing… either our boys are good at playing dirty without ANYONE seeing, or some team just do not know to act when they get slaughtered! Really though, our boys beat teams on the hustle, they take more shots on goal, and they know how to handle the puck! Hope tournament play is successful without too much fit throwing!
Well I started reading another recommended book called The Memory of Running. Let’s just say I wanted to run away from it. Blah, didn’t really enjoy the 1/3 of it that I read. I usually finish a book to see the whole picture, but I couldn’t really get into it. It moved back and forth between his sad reality and his sad past…nothing in it really grabbed my attention. Maybe I couldn’t just couldn’t connect to his life or his struggles.
So I just finished The Cinderella Pact, which was recommended to me by Lexi Allen. I checked it out from the library on Monday, and finished by Thursday night. It is a really good romantic comedy, with an ending that makes you smile while you read it. I would consider this book a fun read for all the ladies! Check it if wanna get wrapped up in a cinderella story! Here’s the excerpt from the back:
…and cry. It was really good. I thought Will Smith and his son did an awesome job. You really feel bad for the guy, one awful thing after another, trying to get him down, trying to make him give up, but he was determined. Reminds me of people I know. You have to have that determination to succeed. He really gave all he had. Darin and I would give this movie two thumbs up!
So today we took 56 third graders on BYU campus to visit the planetarium,and the bean science museum to see the reptile show. We went to the Eyring Science Center and about 3/4 of the students were entertained by the stories and pictures of constellations and planets and galaxies…poor little Zach couldn’t stay in his seat for more than five minutes. Luckily for Darin, he got to sit by him (Darin met us on campus and went to the show with us). Then we paraded across campus and up the ramp to the Museum, for a fabulous reptile show, where the presenter actually tried to answer all of the students questions and let my chatterbox go on and on four or five times–didn’t she learn after the first time that the girl could talk forever?! Then we quickly walked back to the Eyring to line the hall off the main lobby with children eating sack lunches. After finishing they explored every science experiment in the lobby (which I am sure distracted some students trying to study in the lobby). However, we didn’t lose any kids, or spill any blood so I have to consider the trip a success. Perhaps it might’ve seemed like a crazy idea, but it was a good one! Plus, it took up most of the day which students love, and of course, teachers do too!
