I actually love the Saturday morning weigh in. We have 7 kids that play a variety of sports. There is one night a week that we dont have a practice of some sort. So bright and early every saturday we get up and hop in the car for a nice little drive. We usually are one of the first to weigh in at every tournament. So that affords us about the only quality time we have all week. We all sit down for a family breakfast and get to spend about an hour just talking. We have tried the friday night weigh in a couple of times and it just doesn't have that familiar feeling. The three boys that wrestle would proably rather sleep, the other kids that arent wrestling would probably rather sleep, and I assure you that my wife would rather sleep in. But for my own selfish reasons I will continue to wake them before the chickens and use that little window between weigh ins and the start of the tournament to look around the breakfast table for a few more years and enjoy the family before they are all off doing thier own thing.
