Yesterday was a great day for soccer. Good thing, because we had four games yesterday. Yes, FOUR!! Will and Hannah each had two games to get caught up on some of the ones missed due to the rain. We arrived at the field around 9:15 a.m. and didn't leave until almost 2 p.m. Will had games at 9:30 and 11:30 while Hannah had games at 10:30 and 12:30. Both kids did great. Will blocked a bunch of goals and Hannah got a goal. After we were finished, Mike, I and the kids went through the Chick-fil-a drive-through and at lunch at home. At 5:15 p.m., we had to leave the house again to head back for the Upwards Soccer Celebration. It ended around 7:30 then we ate dinner at Subway. The kids were exhausted and slept until 7:30 a.m. (Since the time change, everyone is usually up just before 7 a.m.) Hannah and I got sunburned on our faces; I also was sunburned on my neck, behind my ear and on my ear. You can see where my earrings and glasses were because they are white instead of red. After all the rain we had in October, it never occurred to me to get out the sunscreen. I hope I remember it this Saturday. We have four games again at the same times.
Speaking of rain, the weather forecaster on the local news said that the rainfall totals in October broke records. I didn't hear the total amount but we had at least 1-2 inches every time it rained, some days we got 4-6 inches. This area is also 11-12 inches over the annual amount of rainfall. According to one of the local weather blogs, Memphis received 10.56 inches of rain in October. Normal rainfall totals are 3.31 inches. The old record was 10.13 inches set in 1919.
