When we learned about the soiree,
we had to scramble a bit to figure out the logistics, because N had hockey
practice around the same time. What else is new? Fortunately, we are able to
squeeze in overlapping activities with a small margins of difference in terms
of time. N’s practice was at 5:30, and A’s party was at 6:00. We took A to his
practice around 5:00, then I took A over to the party, but it was way too
early. There was a board meeting going on with a bunch of heavy hitters. A said
she wanted to go and watch N’s practice, so we went back to the rink, which was
thankfully only 5 minutes away.
We watched N’s practice for about
half an hour, then A and I piled back into the car and went to the party. Now I
had intended on dropping her off so she could hang with her friends, whom I
assumed would be there, but she was in fact the only kid at the event. I
decided to stay with her so she would be all by herself, which was a good thing
because the party was not what we expected. It was more of a formal celebration
of the studio’s 20th anniversary. There were speeches and
presentations, and the director, BF, handed out awards to recognize the efforts
of people involved in studio. What really floored us was that he gave an award
to A, for outstanding achievement in children’s TV production. She definitely
deserved it, but it was quite the surprise for both A and I. I was glad I was
there to witness the event.
A was cute as heck, she gave a
great speech, and then we grabbed some finger foods and cookies and then headed
out to get N. We made it just in time to watch the last half hour of his
practice, and then we headed home. Talk about crazy, we also had supper waiting
for us at home, which I had prepared earlier in the day.
Boy, life sure ain’t easy in our
neck of the woods. Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to ebbandflowphotography for the pic.
