Volleyball Playoffs

Well, despite staying home from school today, it turns out that both girlies had a playoff volleyball game today. Pony didn't go at all, so was ineligible to play, so we went to cheer on the team. Apparently, we didn't cheer hard enough.

Pony has now played for three seasons, and the growth of the team has been fascinating to watch. Even tonight, they were a great team, backing each other up, calling the ball, serving solidily over the net, then WHAM! Everything falls apart, and the girls are suddenly playing each others' positions, missing balls in their area, running into each other as they all run to get a ball, and then --at the last minute--deferring to each other.

That game ended at 5:30, giving us half an hour to get across town to the Bunny's game, plus feeding everyone, plus stopping at the library to get a book Pony needed for her homework tonight. Through the miracle of cel phone and 411, we called ahead to the library to get the book set aside for us, and called a Vietnamese take out place for dinner. I tell you, that was some AWESOME MamaGrooving going on.

And then the Bunny's team won! Which was very exciting, except that their next playoff game is tomorrow night at 7:45. Which seems incredibly late for 10 year olds, if you ask me. But no one did--ask me, that is. So, tomorrow night is another night of volleyball excitement.

Yeah! Volley Ball EXCITEMENT, I said! Can I get a "whoop whoop"?
