This week's wrestling dual took us just up the road (not an hour drive and the weather was not icy, just below zero temps!) to Lewis Central in Council Bluffs. I was excited for the kids to wear their new Glenwood Wrestling shirts that I had made for them so they could cheer for their favorite team. When I say cheer, I just mean completely not pay any attention to what we are actually there for and play with your friends in the bleachers while annoying half of the crowd and chasing away anyone who dared to sit within twenty feet of us :) When we got to the school, Dain and Amber helped to get the kids in the door. It was extremely cold and I really didn't want to park at the opposite end of the school and walk at the pace of an 18 month old to get there. So, thanks to them for the help! We of course made our grand entrance with what seemed like twenty kids, their coats and bags. Once seated it was then time to make the all important trip to the concession stand. I am starting to wonder if Amber and I go to these events to avoid making dinner and just feed the kids hot dogs from the stand. Anyway, it was my turn to get the food. I left with a hefty order and came back carrying all of the food in a box that was given to me by the nice lady running the concession stand. There was so much stuff she added it up in her head three different times just to make sure that she got it right. I of course stood out like a sore thumb carrying this box and got quite a few chuckles from the people sitting around us (not to worry though...they probably didn't sit there for very long, remember). Amber even took a picture of it for her blog!! Anyway, another chance to eat off of and all over the bleachers..who could pass this up!?!? I got a package of M&Ms for the kids to share when they finished as a treat. Emily couldn't wait to have the chalic and Brock asked when they could have the potty treats!! I love what kids come up with!! After the food was everywhere and we went through a lot of wet wipes it was time to crawl up and down the bleachers and chase off the neighbors. We did an excellent job!! Clara found someone elses pop bottles and threw them and Emily was crawling up down and all around. Then came the time to take my poor innocent infant to the public restroom for his dinner. I felt like a sixteen year old feeding my baby on the toilet in a high school bathroom, but it is not like they have nursing rooms like a department store. Anyway, the rest of the evening was crazy as usual. When the dual was over (Glenwood lost) we headed for the car and a short drive home. We had a good time and Nile was a hit to those who dared to sit around us (they were Amber's family, they had to sit with us).
