They did it!

In a total nail-biter of a game, the spurs pulled it out. I ended up going to an American Idol party but kept checking in on the score on my cell phone. Way to go spurs! Now it's just two more rounds and championship to go.

It was a crazy night for everybody. This was the state of my house when i left for the party:

Doug and Ross were sitting down and watching the opening jump shot. After an entire day of nervous anticipation it was finally time to for them to watch.

At the same time, i needed to get ready and Penny woke up very hungry and fussy. Sophie and Owen were sitting at the table playing a math game for Sophie's homework and she's asking him, "What is 5 cubed?" He was giving her all kinds of crazy answers which was clearly not helping.

They pause the game and Doug makes Penny a bottle while she wails in his arms and Rossy jumps up to help Sophie with her homework. By the time I'm ready to go, they were all hunched over the table solving math problems, Penny was still squirming and grunting and the TV's screen-saver was bouncing around waiting for someone to come back and push PLAY.

I looked over the scene and decided to tiptoe quietly out of the house without saying goodbye. If i thought about it too long I would have foolishly turned around and said, "Why don't I just take Penny with me." But that defeats the whole purpose of a girls' night, right?

Anyway, Doug and Ross are champs. A big thanks to them for manning the house on such a big night in Spur Basketball.
