End of Lacrosse

Yesterday was Ashleigh's last lacrosse game of the year. It was an away game so we loaded up and went over to watch. Another loss but it was a nice day. They wound up not winning any games and tying one so I guess it can be said that she didn't lose every game of the season... You can see her stats on the Hale Family Web page (see the link to the left).

The weekend was pretty quiet. Watched a Nicholas Cage movie from Netflix ("Next"). Had to do with seeing into the future and a bomb. Those time travel movies don't do much for me and this one wasn't all that good. It rained a lot so we just laid low and hung out.

For Mother's Day we just stayed home and cooked on the grill. That was fine. That night after church we went to Friendly's for dessert after church with some friends. That was a nice ending to the day.

Then, after a four day weekend, Elliott announces on Monday night at 6:20 that he has a major project to do including a poster board thing. Of course it was due Tuesday. He swore he would finish by 8. We finally sent him to bed at 11:10 and said he has to take it in the way it was. (It was fine but you can be sure next time we won't be so lax in allowing him to manage his own time!)

I spent a lot of time picking up sticks and small limbs from the yard yesterday. The wind and rain made a mess of things but no damage.

President Bush came through with our economic stimulus check. We actually found it deposited in our account Monday morning. At least a week early. That was good news.

Tomorrow Lucie goes to Washington on a field trip with Elliott. Looks like a warm but cloudy day tomorrow so they should have a good time.
