It was our first real lacrosse weekend of the fall. Number 4 played a tournament in Myrtle Beach, and due to the incoming hurricane, it was 5 games in one day…in the rain. 3 wins and 2 losses, they finished 2nd in the tournament. Number 2 participated in the Wing-o-thon, a fundraiser for the Boys Lacrosse team. He ate 30; the team ate 1300. This was our 7th year participating. If the numbers were relatively consistent, that is over 8,000 wings for the lacrosse team.
Lunch Box Quotes are notes I typically include in the kids’ lunches every day. Since Number 1 is off in college and Number 2 is skipping lunch now (he’s trying to cut weight for lacrosse), they both get a text. Both 3 and 4 get handwritten notes on napkins.
