Life's Whirlwind Adventures

A couple weeks ago I took the boys to meet my brother and his family at the new skating oval.  That was a long day out with the boys because we started with morning hockey, a visit to the library, the skating oval and then a play date. This was the first outdoor tournament we participated in in 4 years. The skating Oval was a lot of fun, Lil Man and Mr L skated with uncle, Prince T played in the snow with Auntie and I got to take all kinds of pictures! There was entertainment, and food so it was a good day!  I'm glad my brother told me about it and glad that I went!  Handsome Prince T  Lil Man and Mr L  My brother being all westside  playing in the snow with auntie

I swore on all things that I would not be a Hockey mom.  I mean I like hockey, I enjoy watching it, I even enjoy a friendly game of shinny from time to time, but to be a hockey mom, yeah that wasn't something I ever wanted to do. I remember how much time my Mom had to give of herself when my brother started playing hockey, and I feel that my sister and I missed out on doing some things because my brother had hockey.  Now this could be a misconception on my part, I mean I was young, like 11 or 12 when Nelson started but it was around that time that many of my extra curricular activities stopped as well.  Did the two events happen in conjunction or because of one I don't know. When my first child was born we really didn't have the funds or opportunities to get involved with hockey so we tried soccer.  I actually liked being a soccer mom, I enjoy the sport and I enjoyed taking my child to his games.  He did well in soccer and played until he was in grade 11....
