The guys did really well today. They played a really good team (on par with them) and they were tied after 10 ends and lost by one in the extra end.
The second game they won 7-3.
Tomorrow morning they play a team that has not been doing so well at 8am, then a more challenging team at 4pm. Sunday morning they are not playing, they are playing at 2pm on Sunday against a fairly easy team.
So far it's looking pretty good. They have to be in the top 3 to go to Nationals and after the loss, they were 3rd.

Carter's Quips & Henri 14 month update
Carter's turning into quite the chatterbox and funny man. Recently heard at our house:
Carter noticed the wafflemaker out, "Your mom has one of those, but it cooks stuff." Then I pass this gem on to my mom and she says she was making them one morning and Carter was going nuts trying to figure out how she made them without using a toaster.
Carter singing with his safety scissors, "I'm safety scissors, I love to be safe..." He likes to make up songs when he thinks no one is watching/listening.
Carter's wisdom of the day after catching me eating his Halloween candy: "just don't eat too much, it's not good for your teeth."
Carter told me while watching some roofers working, "I hope it's not a crappy day"
Me: If you get it on the floor, I'll just vacuum it up. Carter: Mom, Don't you get tired of cleaning up the house?
Carter brings up the Gatorade I bought from the stairs, "Here, Mom... I brought these up so you don't have to break your arms off"
Now on to Henri. At 14 months, Henri...
Walks 75% of the time. He's getting faster. He points and asks his version of "what's that?" He talks. A lot. I have no idea what he's saying. He's consistent about bye-bye waving and saying Da-Da when he waves. He is into everything and climbing! I never know what piece of furnature he'll be on next. He's good about being left with people. As our Canadian family would say, "He's not strange with people."
He's also getting a sense of humor and figures out when something I or Carter or Paul do is funny and gives a big belly laugh.
He is sleeping through the night. 7:30-5am, then warm bottle in my bed will get him to sleep another 1-2 hours. Finally. Now to get myself to do the same (I keep waking up to listen for him.) I'm thinking of cutting back or eliminating my morning cup of coffee or switching to tea.

Fun Weekend and First Day working of tax season
This weekend was so fun! Sue, my friend from BC from my online scrapbook message board came to stay with us. We made cards at a card class (check out my teacher's blog at http://www.mukibug.com/) then Saturday we cropped all day (scrapbooked) in Renton, including a field trip to the Scrapbook Nook, with dinner at 5 Guys Burgers & Fries, then Sunday afternoon I took a scrapbook class with Nona Pearl of CTMH.
While in Renton Saturday, I stopped by IKEA to see if they had two more of my dining room chairs, since we'll have 5 family members as of this summer. NONE! They discontinued them TWO weeks ago! But Sue went to her IKEA today and found the last two for me AND they were on sale, so they were only the US price! Wahoo!!!
Today was my first day of work for tax season. I was supposed to get there at 9am to sign paperwork, etc. We left at 7:45, dropped Carter off at school, then Henri and I carpooled to Bellevue to drop him off at daycare and I got at my desk at 8:45. Tomorrow they head to my mom's... I'm hoping to leave here by 6:15, with kids in pajamas and a bag of clothes for them to change into!
Both kids did great. In fact, Carter was excited to see his friends, Harry & Danny from last year's class at before/after care.
