Slow moving Sunday

Today I plan to putter and do some relaxing things while recovering from Saturday! On tap is some grocery shopping and making my little house block with Melva's sew along. Some slow stitching will also happen with a few threads added to the cross stitch. I did finish off a knitted dish cloth Saturday that I started this week while watching some training sessions on Teams at work. 

I started the brown part of the wagon by the wheel the last few days. I think I'll fill in the half stitches in blue above that next. This was the last photo from Wednesday. Not much but every stitch counts!

The knitted dish cloth. I finished this while watching the guards perform Saturday. I have a huge spool of this yarn when Joann's was clearing things out. Linking up with Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers.

The rest of this post is Winter Guard and my Saturday as a Chaperone. 

 Saturday was a long day! We arrived at school before 6am for call time. Varsity needed to run through since they had one person away and one broke her toe Thursday night. A little modification was needed. We left around 8 on the school bus to the comp about 2.5 hours away. The JV team (the team my daughter is on and is co-captain of) had a great run and got first place in their class of 7! First time in their history.  The Varsity did well later in the day in their class and also took home 1st place.  The last competition is Championship in 2 weeks. We arrived back to school around 11pm. We got home about 11:40. I got 10k steps yesterday despite 5 hours on a bus! I was very happy to sit with the JV's bags in the auditorium while they went with the Varsity for their body warm ups through all warm ups and then  put down and pulled their floor for their performance. That is about an hour of time, so I got to watch all the teams perform in the Varsity grouping. Everything is timed down to the minute and there is a mark down if they run late on any part. I've learned a lot about guard the last 2 years. This is my kid ready to perform. 

After they got their 1st trophy with the team. They had performed a few hours before awards ceremony so everyone got to change out but the captains and the senior on the team since it was her last non Champions competition. 

This is their performance from Saturday if you'd like to see. Lots of hard work went into this.
