Will's Basketball Game

So tonight, Will had his game that was the first of the tournaments.  They won the game 34-26.  It was a "nail biter" says Charlie!  The team they played had beat them before, so we knew it would be close.  Next Saturday, they go on to play in the semi-finals.  Will played very well.  You know, there's always drama when it comes to keeping four children safe and in one place, so I'll tell you the funny story of the night.  Grandma Mary and Grandpa Ken came with us - we had dinner before the game where Charlie struggled to get a bite of brocolli down and Grandma felt pretty badly for him.  But we got to the game pretty early and Grandma and I decided to go get a coffee while we waited.  Before we left, Bridget decided she had to go to the potty which was GREAT news as this has been a battle of wills!  She went - Yay!  But Henry also had a case of the runs while in the bathroom, and we had to clean him up and throw away the undies.  Yikes.  We get everyone together again and run to Starbucks.  When we get back to the game, Charlie, Bridget and Henry go tromping up the bleachers and across the other side.  Charlie swings down between the metal handrail, dropping to the floor, Bridget follows and cracks her head.  A small cut that could use a stitch, but we clean up the blood and carry on.  Next, Henry has another blowout (going commando mind you) and Dad takes him to the potty to clean him up.  PS - the game hasn't even started yet!  In a few minutes, Dad and Henry come back, but Henry is wearing only his shirt and crocs...wow.  So, recap.  Bridget is bleeding from the head, Henry is naked from the waist down.  Hey everyone, let's root for Will and could someone run out to the van for the extra pair of pink sweats and cinderella underwear for Henry??  In the end it was a victory for the team - both the basketball team and team Brandol.  We all made it home in one piece and stopped for ice cream on the way home to boot! 
Way to go Will!!
