Its a tradition after the tournament if Monroe wins we hand the keys over to our kids and they get to drive around a huge grassed field behind the ball diamond. Good lord I was shaking...there he went off with my car, a little man now his team had won the biggest tournament in the County and we were NOT picked to even be in the semi finals
They boys were SO cute!! Gripping the steering wheels as tight as they could barely able to see over it and off they went SO proud and nothing but smiles all you could here was laughing radios blaring and horns honking. We parents all stood together watching, mouths open, saying what has just happened???? We handed our cars over to 14, 13 year old boys and they are now driving them!!!!! I have pics my mother is trying to get them off the camera now but I will be sure to post.
So this is were i have been...
Working 40 hours....watching nearly 10+ games in 8 days, washing uniforms and trying to keep everything else caught up!
