Busy Sports Night

Wednesday started out like any normal day . . . school fun, spaghetti dinner, and milkshakes for dessert.  After we got the regular stuff out of the way, we had a full night of cheering on our Dallas teams.  The Rangers are just beginning their season and needed to start strong (even though there are  tons of injured starters), and the pitching duel between Yu and King Felix promised to be great.  The Mavericks had the last game of the season against Memphis to determine playoff opponents, and they needed to win to avoid the Spurs.  The Stars first playoff game (in a long time) was sure to be a test against Anaheim.  So much sports!!!!!  We finished baths and the bedtime routine on time, but everyone caught the sports bug and couldn't settle down in their beds.  We all piled up in Daddy's office to cheer our teams. 

It's hard to watch so many games at once!  We had the Rangers on in the main living room, and the Mavs on in Daddy's office.  The Stars game didn't start until after 9:00, so we only checked on it a few times during the end of the other games.  We all ran to the living room to celebrate the Leonys walk off hit to win the game but ran back to check on the Mavs game.  Hooray, we're up in overtime!  Lots of cheering and yelling!!!  Lincoln and Beau tried hard to read the scores (Linc is really good at that) and cheer so hard for our teams.  So much fun!!! 

The cheering got a little out of hand and boys banged their heads together REALLY HARD!  They started developing welts right away and made me take them to the mirror in the bathroom to see if there was blood.  Luckily there wasn't any blood, but they did hit pretty hard.  All smiles after checking out their injuries! 

I'm sure this isn't the first sports-related injury they will have.  Most of them should come from actually playing sports, but occasionally they may have them from over-celebrating.  Unfortunately, the Mavs lost the game with 01.1 seconds left.  So heartbreaking!  The Stars lost as well, and also in heartbreaking fashion.  Perhaps we should work on our cheering!
