Fort Wayne and Football (Take Two)

Last weekend in Fort Wayne was so awesome...the only complaint I have is that the visit was too short. I got in Saturday afternoon and hung out with the girls a little before the show. "Wash Your Troubles Away" was soo cute. All three girls did a great job!! Misty had a duet with the villain of the play and it sounded awesome. Chali was a natural on stage, she would make eye contact with me and give me a little wink or smirk and go right on singing. She played an orphan and had to beg for money in the audience.

I gave the girls each some roses after the show (When I told Chali I was coming to the show she informed me that people in plays get flowers when it is over, so I figured that was my hint. ha!) Sunday was the girls last performance. I got to stay backstage with Karis. It was a lot of fun. Then Sunday night we had family movie night where the girls each got to pick a movie at the store and we all ate some junk food while cuddling on the sofa. I had to leave early Monday morning to catch my plane and it never gets easier to leave my little rockstars.
Yesterday I ate lunch with my two oldest nephews then picked them up from school to go to Uncle E's football game. This is what I saw in my rear view mirror while stuck in traffic...never a dull moment!

We walked to BK for an after school treat while my car was getting some work. When we went to pick up the car they said your front tires have NO tread and we recommend that you get them changed before getting on the interstate again...nice 'cause we were leaving to go to another game at Muddy Creek County about an hour down the interstate. I called WallyWorld and they had 2 tires in stock so we dropped the car off and walked to a pizza place for dinner. This is what I saw when I turned around once in the halloween aisle... nothing like hanging out with an 8 year old, they sure know how to make you smile.With all of the car delays we finally made it to the game about mid way through the 3rd quarter, and the boys were so cute and proud of their Uncle E. Liam thought we were going to watch him play so when he saw him coaching with a headset on and everything he was beaming with pride. Everytime EJ would move, Liam would say "Is that Uncle E, right there?" He was so cute! The Purple Tigers won 38-0!!! So that was exciting for the boys to see Uncle E win. ('09 record 4-1) We got home and watched a movie while the boys fell asleep then we were pumped about watching their flag football games this morning but they were canceled due to rain.
Rain, rain, go away so we can watch some football today! We have tickets to the UT game and unfortunately that means we sit rain or shine in our seats. I am excited about the game but not the rain. Hopefully we won't get too drenched.
