The Great OneS - CAPITAL "S"

All three kids had hockey games last night. MacMom took MacDaddy to his game for a "0 - 0" tie. I took A-Mac and Lil Lefty to their games, that were back-to-back at the same arena. Lil Lefty is #9 in blue. Lil Lefty's team lost by a "bit". She had fun and fell on the other team's goalie, who happens to be in her class at school. It will give them something to talk about during recess.






A-Mac played her second game of the season and after being shut out in the first, they won 3 - 1 in the follow-up. Even more pleasantly surprising was that A-Mac scored a GOAL. This is the second season to play hocey for A-Mac and Lil Lefty and so far they have both been able to contribute... maybe not the best skaters but seem to understand where they belong.
A-Mac is also #9, but in the black sweater .
Early in the season, for each of their teams a MacGrandle was the leading scorer. It got me thinking, that maybe the kids were born in the wrong state, or country even. What if their slow exposure to hockey was my fault and all three have God-given natural talent in hockey. What if one day they would become the "MacGrandle Line" on the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs and go down in history as the greatest hockey siblings ever. Nah!!! MacMom doesn't like the cold arenas... let's just play for FUN!!!
