Karate Tournament

This is the 3rd year Max and Seth have wanted to be in their annual karate tournament. It's $30. to enter but then you get a $2 trophy so it's worth it. :) They really do have a lot of fun, despite Seth's one defeat. Before that he got a 1st place trophy for being so quick with the sword and shield. That must be his strength.
There was a little mix up with the tournament schedule. I got one email that said it started at 4:15, so Jon rushed home from work to take both Max and Seth. Then right at 4 I got another email that said it actually started at 6...that's a big difference. So I rushed to call Jon so he could turn around and come back home. Then he decided to take Max and Seth to McDonald's before the tournament, so he left around 5. I read the email again and realized they had some events Wed. night and some on Thurs. night. All of Seth's were Wed. and all of Max's were Thurs. I called him back to say Max did not need to go. He said Seth needed his mouth guard. So...I met him at McDonald's gave Seth his mouth guard and took Max home, shew! I didn't stay and eat because they were finishing and it is McDonald's!


Eating a "healthy" dinner to get ready for the tournament.

So happy to have a trophy.
