Halloween & Hockey: I am Still Recovering

It was such a busy weekend. Ry had a good time sitting on the porch handing out the candy until it was gone. In fact, she had such a good time that she didn't want to go trick or treating after that. She warmed up to the idea after visiting with some friends at the bottom of our road. Then my little Pocahontas was off and running. And Cody collected a good stash of stuff just walking around as the big brother. He's not into Halloween and never really has been. Molly changed at her friend's house and headed out before I got a chance to see her. By the time we met up, I was glad to hear that she didn't walk around and instead handed out candy with her best friend. I know she was supposed to be a fairy but OMG, she was way too grown up in that outfit. Thankfully she decided on her own to go the haunted house party in pajamas instead of her fairy costume.

Saturday was a sports filled day. We left the house at 7:30 in the morning and headed to learn to play hockey so Molly & Cody could help out with the new skaters. The little ones were so cute all dressed up in hockey gear. After that we headed to their soccer game where they both did really really well. Then it was back to the rink so Rylee could watch her "boyfriend" Brandon play his game. He's not on the same team as Molly and Cody this year. A couple of hours later, after feeding the kids lunch, we headed to the rink yet again for a couple of home games. The boys on that team were huge! Molly pretty much stayed clear of them and passed the puck as quickly as she could. At one point, she got checked into the boards. Cody said coach John commented "crunch" after the hit, which cracked me up because that described it perfectly. She was fine.

About 18 or so of us headed to the pizza place to grab supper before we headed back to the rink, yes that would be the 4th time in one day, so the kids could skate Teen Night while us adults chaperoned. It was a mild night because all the kids that showed up were really good kids but we didn't get enough to actually make any money. We broke even but the kids had a good night so it was worth.

Molly and Cody both had an awesome game on Sunday. Cody got a top shelf goal from the blue line that was outstanding. And Molly played her best game of the season getting quite a few shots on goal and another assist. And Rylee took a nap on the bleachers. Which cracks me up because we haven't played at the Brattleboro rink in two years and I have pictures of Rylee sleeping on the bleachers then too.
