A year ago today I took the kids to a Grizzly’s hockey game. This was tradition on Presidents’ Day the past few years. One year we took Jones. One year we went with Anji and her kids. This year we went alone. I always told my kids (when ever we went anywhere) if they behaved we would stay, if they misbehaved we would leave. Most of the time the behaved and we stayed long past curfew. On this day they were SO good we stayed almost the whole time, ate valentine’s candy and way over priced blue snow cones, and Asher bought a deck of hockey yards that he came home and made custom individual covers for by cutting up his Pokémon protective sheets.

At one point during the game there was a money giveaway where dollar bills rained down on us. I almost caught one of the dollars but forfeited it to another girl. After we sat back down Asher was super bummed he didn’t catch any money. I told him I got a dollar but gave it to another girl that grabbed it at the same time. He insisted on know which girl stole my money. At first I wouldn’t tell I’m but I finally did. The whole rest of the game, drive home and evening he talked about how the girl stole my money.
