Farewell to the hockey season

 When Harry played hockey, the seasons felt SO LONG. Probably because they are long (October-March). This year, though, Cooper’s hockey season flew by. I think it’s because our after-school hours are SO busy. When Harry was little, his activities were the only activities because everyone else was a baby. Now all the kids have stuff to do all of the days, so hockey is just another drop off and pick up. I also think  that my attitude about being busy is better since COVID. Who knew I would someday be grateful to be back at the stinky old hockey rink (and, of course, all of the other places)?

The whole fam plus my mom and Steve came out for the final game, and Ben and the boys were SO OBNOXIOUS calling off sides when the refs didn’t and screaming advice to the players.

Steve got these great shots:



And I took the rest, including our donut pre-game














Cheers to a great season, Pee Wee B’s. Can’t wait to see some of these kids on the ice next year!

  1. Awww, yay! Love the action shot! Sounds like a great season.

    I get such a kick out of Minnie's outfits. What a fashionista! I wish my kiddo was still into fancy dresses.

    1. Easter dress season has been wonderful for her. Almost every day she’s like I get a pretty dress today? And I ask her what color she wants, and we can find one LOL.

  2. I love Minnie's rosy cheeks! She's such a doll! Donuts are such a hit in our house. I'm looking forward to the start of farmer's market season as the boys get a donut at the market every Sunday morning.

    I bet Cooper loved having all his family there at the end of his season!

  3. Oh, how fun. I follow another blogger (https://anvilcloud.blogspot.com/) who regularly posts photos of his grandson's hockey games. It seems like it would be hard to get exactly what shot you're looking for when they are moving so fast!

    1. Hockey rink lighting is SO SO GOOD. That's a perk for sure.

  5. These are just such fun and lovely pictures of a snapshot of such a cool point in life.
    Also, as always, MINNIE STEALS THE SHOW. Honestly, that kid could have a fashion blog all to herself. Girl has serious style - at a hockey rink, no less! Love. It.

  6. Hockey is so. much. fun. And, the lighting IS fabulous, and I love that the whole fam came out. Also love donuts for breakfast followed by cookies for lunch (at least, I think that's what's behind Minnie on the bench?). :>
