When Wade scheduled this weekend to attend a football game with his family, none of us realized it would also be the same weekend as a cheer competition. Normally I would have just gotten a babysitter, but Kaitlyn and I had to leave the house at 6 am. I couldn’t ask a sitter to arrive that early! Instead, I got everyone up earlier than they would normally awaken and we went on an adventure. I bribed with the promise of extra electronics and extra treats later in the day. My biggest concern was Ben, who is still too young to bribe. We got to the competition and I paid the insane ticket price for all my kids to “watch” the competition they cared nothing about. Kaitlyn did a great job and I had fun attending and taking pictures. The boys did a good job of being quietly present.
