Shamrock Classic Basketball Champions

So today was a crazy day I woke up around 3 with a serious migraine. Like a made me sick migraine. Brandon took the boys to school because I just could not get it together. I seriously thought I would sleep it off in a few hours.

Well, the time came to get the boys, since they get out at 2 on Mondays it comes quick when you are hiding in the dark under the covers. The migraine still letting me know who was owning who so my seriously amazing husband went and got the boys and headed home early.

We had a game to get to and since I had no fever I was determined to be there for my baby who was only one win away from the championship. I had taken all that I had to take, that would leave me unzombie like for the game and when it was time we headed out.

We had to be there by 6:30, and we made it. My head was not a friend at all but I was trying. Thankfully Amy had some Tylenol and was so sweet to share. She could tell that I just could not handle anymore. I was praying for a win, because a loss would mean another game at 8:30. I was so hot, another good sign that there was no fevers happening, just migraine issues.

The game started at 7:10 and we were up against Prince of Peace again. It was a close game at first, but by the second half our boys were making serious progress and we were announced the Shamrock Champions! GO SAINTS!!! This was the 5th Shamrock Classic Tournament win for the 3rd-4th grade boys for St. Francis! Super super proud. The boys all got a medal, a certificate, and a St. Patrick's statue. The school has the Shamrock Classic Plaque for one year and a new beautiful first place trophy! Congratulations to Coach Adam and all of the boys!

John Michael was able to announce Danny's name at the end of the game which made the night as special for him as it wasfor Danny! I am so proud of both my boys! I think we might have to invest in a trophy cabinet for our house!

Fifteenth Annual Shamrock Classic - Day One

So today I was completely torn. A childhood friend who I love dearly was having her baby shower today, let me rephrase I was helping to host it. Danny was also in his first basketball tournament. Mom was also a host and assured me that it was okay that I should go to the game. I hope that Aubrey understands how much I love her and that had it not been for my own children I would have been there for her.

The Shamrock tournament is double elimination and lasts for two days. We were hoping to be the champions, but we had to survive day one first.

Our first game was against one of the two Prince of Peace teams. We won! It was a great game and the first lost for the Prince of Peace team. This game was at 2.

Now we wait till 5 for game 2 for us for the tournament. If we win this one we play tomorrow at 7:10, if we lose tomorrow at 6:10. Considering the tournament is at St. Patrick's in Adamsville 7:10 would be much easier for everyone.

While waiting John Michael made friends at the concession stand. He was a great customer for them, and after Danny's game they announced that he had just had a birthday and everyone sang Happy Birthday to him. He is so full of personality and I am so thankful that he is as outgoing as he is. He seriously cracks me up all of the time!

Game 2 for us is the other Prince of Peace team. We are both currently undefeated. I am super pumped to say that we won! YAY!!! Go Saints! It is so much fun to watch these boys who are so pumped do amazing and feel good about the games that they have played.

We headed home for showers and bed. It was a long day in Adamsville, but definitely a great one.
