• It was a long day around here-Anderson and Keaton left at 6:40 this morning to head to Raymar. He was the only intern on this last day of games so I'm sure that Keaton helped him quite a bit setting things up.
• Robby, Campbell, Whitman, and I were not far behind them. We arrived at 8 and went to work at the concession stand. This was the coldest soccer game that we have had, so I was busy the whole time making hot chocolate and coffee. 
• I don't drink coffee, but I have googled how many tablespoons to put in the coffee pot for each cup, but I do forget a little bit between each Saturday. I'm pretty sure that my coffee is not weak, and it is probably the strongest coffee people have ever had. 
• One lady today asked me to put a packet of hot chocolate in her coffee (she offered to pay for both), and she called it a mocha. I was so impressed that I briefly thought about having me some of her creation. Instead I had my third cup of hot chocolate-I was struggling to stay warm.
• Keaton and Campbell both reffed one game. Graham reffed two this afternoon, and I think that Anderson also reffed two. Keaton and Whitman's team came up short today, but the team they played had double the amount of players so they were all exhausted. Either way, I think that they had fun, but I also think that they were glad that this season was over!
• There were two championship games late this afternoon, so none of us left Raymar until almost 6. Robby and I had done everything we could to clean up so Anderson could leave as soon as he could. He had to run to the house that Graham is house sitting at to shower, and then Robby delivered him to his senior camp out with his Sunday school class. (He could have driven but we are putting the suburban in the shop early Monday morning.)
• Since Graham is house sitting near where Reagan was going tonight, she just decided that she was going to spend the night there too so she didn't have to drive home late. Keaton and Campbell didn't even get to go home today because they went straight to babysitting. 
• I have made a strawberry cake, and Robby is almost home from taking Anderson. We will have to get out again to pick up Campbell and Keaton, and then I'll have to make sure that Graham and then Reagan both get home from their outings tonight.
