  • George and Lila, you've been playing nonstop in the garage.  George, you call it going scootering in the garage, even though you ride your bike.  The weather has been pretty terrible this past week, so I'm extra grateful for the garage.  During the day it's pretty much empty and it's a safe dry place for you guys to get rid of some of your energy.
  • Daddy had another playoff game tonight.  George and Lila, you both came with me to watch.
  • Daddy got a penalty for roughing, and you were so excited George.  You thought it was great.  I was pretty surprised to see daddy out there pushing and shoving.
  • The game went into overtime, and who do you think scored the game winner?  That's right...daddy!  He said it's been one of his bucket list items, and now he can die happy.  Daddy said he was especially happy that he knocked the goalies water bottle off the top of the net with the shot. 
  • George, you seemed to be super inspired by daddy's penalty, because when we went to see him after the game you immediately started punching and kicking him.  
  • Lila, you had meant to bring your money with you, but forgot it at home.  So you two ventured into the dressing room to find daddy and ask him if he had any coins.  He did!  Two shiny quarters.  You were delighted.  You spend quite some time carefully choosing which treat you would purchase at the candy machines.  It was the highlight of our outing for you.
