Volleyball playoffs

In late November I took the girls, especially Aya to watch an American Volleyball tournament where some of the best teams in Mass were competing. She enjoyed it a lot – I’ve never watched one so it was interesting (though long).

I didn’t realize it was best of 7 due to ending the best of 5 with a tie, or something like that. It was loud and each school had their cheering fan section all done up in their school colors like war paint.

We watched Division 3 with North Reading versus Frontier

The North Reading team was beaten twice before in previous years by the Frontier’s and this year they were out for blood. We had no idea of either team, since we’ve never attended these events. In the beginning we just chose a team with the same school colors as our kids.

Shopping woes

We’ve taken Aya to over a half dozen stores to purchase items she was looking for such as light colored jeans, gloves and hats for the Winter. Each time she never really can decide an item or it doesn’t look right for one reason or another.

Frankly, we will have to boil it down to this since we are growing a little tired of playing taxi service. A) She can order online from whatever store she desires B) Purchase items from the stores available in our area. Due to time constraints, sports, work and school we can’t just go on a whim any longer.
