LCDS E-A-G-L-E-S

The Moo has been very excited this week about the Talon Tournament, to the extent that the only song we have heard is the "I am an Eagle" chant all week. The tournament is a basketball round robin between LCDS and three other private schools in the area. We were unable to attend the opening yesterday as the Moo and the Bean declined to meet the requirements set down for going (taking a nap) and since Dad was with Grandpa S, Mom said "no way" to taking them herself.
We did, however, opt to attend the second day of the tournament today, and got there just before the girls championship game, which was a very exciting contest that was very nearly won by the LCDS Eagles!! It was so fun to take the girls to their very first school related athletic event; they both insisted on getting LCDS pom-poms and then spent the whole first half shaking them on the sidelines screaming "Go, Eagles, Go Eagles, GO GO GO!!!" (the Moo was very proud of authoring that particular cheer). I wish we had brought the camera to take the pictures. The boys team was also in the championship but we were only really interested in the girls game and Dad and Mom were laboring under the delusion the naps could still be taken. Two hours later, the girls have disabused us of this notion, and we are off to buy crickets for poor Ruby, our crested gecko who did not eat last night, because Mom refuses to add "cricket wrangler" to her list of job responsibilities. Will find out tomorrow if the boys won, as it is not on their website yet. GO EAGLES!!!!
