Sinterklaas and Pies

We left our shoes out last night for Sinterklaas to fill them with treats or as it turned out $5 bills.  (I learned that the Dutch celebrate St. Nick's Day on December 5th instead of the 6th).  Maybe a new tradition for our family?


We also got pies today because I a) worked in rehab in Roanoke instead of Radford and was so close to the pie shop I could not say no and b) I have a cold (so does Evelyn, but she didn't get any pie). Pie makes everything better.


 Evelyn tried to get me to stay in bed today.  It almost worked.

Mmmm, pie. : ) Caramel Apple and ? Evelyn looks so cozy in her Christmas sleeper. I hope she can find something fun to buy with the money Sinterklaas left for her in her boot.

We actually had southern pecan pie and tart cherry. Both were very very good.

City champs

 Cross country season is officially over. Last night was city finals and Blackhawk girls finished first. We took 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th and 10th place. Evelyn ran 14:56, so about 10 seconds off her PR.  She was 32nd overall out of 64 girls.  Her place counted for her team which she was happy about. The boys did good too and finished in second place overall.

Last weekend

 Last weekend was a busy one. I had the Fort4Fitness, Evelyn had a cross country invitational in Huntington and Jameson had two soccer games in Middlebury. All on Saturday! Friday I spent all afternoon at the F4F expo. The weather was lovely so that was nice. When it was busy, the time passed quickly. When it was slow, there were still enough people that I wasn’t totally bored.  Evelyn had a great run and PR’ed with at time of 14:40.  It was an early morning for them as she had to be at the meet by 8:40. But that was better for us since Jameson’s games were into the afternoon.  I had a decent half marathon. I ran 2:10:30 which is slower than I’d like but I’ve also been dealing with a nagging right knee problem. So I honestly was thankful I could run and run the race without much discomfort.  I was fast enough to get home, shower and eat lunch before we left for soccer. Jameson’s team won the first game 0-1 and tied the second 1-1. He scored both the goals. ...

Futsal

 It’s futsal season. Jameson had his first game tonight. It’s all just intra club fun meant to help the players develop and practice over the winter. Parents only have to help during games with subbing but we also got Evelyn to help run the scoreboard.
