Thank goodness there were photographers there, because I suck at pictures as we all know.
Check it out!!
Jay Vollmar, the artist behind the awesome RMRG art, took this one.
That's The Kid, with the red pigtails. Isn't she fabulous?!
Dave Wood took these.
Doesn't she look so intense there?

Victory Lap! They won 31-30. Unbelievable.
The Kid only got to be in one jam... but she *was* the pivot. And she *did* block like a champ. And it *was* only 10 minutes long, so there ya go!
The rest of the weekend was lovely. TR came up Friday night to hang and play Life and eat Halloween candy.
It was so nice not to have to drag my butt out of bed at 5:30 AM, because Saturday was a lovely, cool grey morning. Perfect for a lie-in before being pummeled by my massage therapist again - she found a trigger from which I'm still recovering. Ow! I had planned on carving pumpkins but I was short a carving arm as a result of the massage. Instead The Kid did her own, start to finish. It's the first time she's ever done that, and I think she was really proud.
We still have a few to go...I think I'll put her in charge.
Saturday night, of course, was THE BOUT! I slacked as a parent, and The Kid had to do her own getting-ready. The massage really took it out of me and I ended up taking a 2 hour nap. She looked great though, and I probably would have fussed over her hair or makeup or something anyway, annoying us both. As it turned out, she did just fine without me (as you can see!) and all was well.
And she kicked ass!
Sunday, despite being wiped from the night before, was yet more Derby practice! She's still feelin' it, let me tell you. She got elbowed by some rotten kid on the other team Saturday night, and she's got the ow to prove it... thank goodness for Ibuprofen.
Last night, Monday, I had a math test.
Um...
Well, there's always the next one I suppose! This one, not so much.
I'm so glad I'm going for an English degree.
Happy Tuesday!
