On Saturday, Chase had one of his last hockey tournaments with the Affton team. He'll have the very last one in a couple of weeks. Then he'll move on to the Columbia team but no one knows when that will start. Mama texted Nanaw that they lost Friday night's game in Wentzville 3-2. She said the game started badly but then the boys played better. Nanaw texted Mama that a semi-miracle had occurred because Chase actually likes reading the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. There are about 20 of them so that's enough to get him through the rest of the year's Accelerated Reading (AR) requirements. He really hasn't liked reading books for AR so it's great that he's found books he likes to read. Chase's team lost the first Saturday game 5 to 2. They were going to meet some of the guys for dinner before the second game. They lost the second Saturday game 5 to 1. On Sunday, Chase set up the guys on the kitchen table in front of a bowl of strawberries and bananas -- very cute!! The pictures from seven years ago of Mama, Chase and Sylvester are appearing because they came up on Mama's Facebook page. Mama got Sylvester from the APA on Nanaw's birthday seven years ago. Chase's team won the Sunday game 6 to 4. In the afternoon, the team had a celebration party at Affton. It was Nanaw's birthday, so in the evening Mama, Daddy, Chase, Uncle Mike, Aunt Becky and Nanaw met at Gianino's on Telegraph. Unfortunately, they had to wait for 45 minutes to get a table. But the food was delicious and perhaps almost worth the wait. Chase had spaghetti and meatballs and had lots leftover to take home. Nanaw got a mystery DVD set, a balsam cedar candle and an Amazon gift card from Mama, Daddy and Chase. From Uncle Mike and Aunt Becky, she got a clever gumball machine that they made themselves, filled with large gumballs, and an Amazon gift card. They had Bunny Tracks ice cream, vanilla ice cream, and cheesecake for Nanaw's birthday celebration.
