Wednesday Run Around!

Today will not be as busy as yesterday, but the boys and I have a lot to do.

Before 8:30, I need to run the money portion of our Silent Auction Donation to the school. Then we will head to the park to play for a while. After that it is Week 3 Day 2 of my Couch to 5K training. I am starting to look forward to the days I can run. Is that sick or what? I don't know if it is because I get some time to myself, which does not happen very often these days, or if I am actually enjoying the running. Time will tell!

After the gym, the boys and I will come home for lunch and naps. My little Prince has his last basketball practice tonight. Princess has her last practice tomorrow. Their last game is on Saturday. It has been a fun season!

Princess will have homework tonight but not as much homework as last night.

First Basketball Game of the Year for Princess and Prince!

Today was the very first basketball game for Princess and Prince! They both did a really good job of listening to their coaches, my only requirement for them at this point! They also had a great time! It was nice that their games were at the same time. That will not happen every week, but I will appreciate it when it does happen!

<==Here is Princess warming up before the big game!

<==Prince playing in his very first basketball game! His shiny shoes really show up in the pictures so it is easy to pick him out of the crowd!




<==Here is Prince talking with his coach, a very kind man!













<==Here is the Prince playing again. He smiled the entire game!









<==Busted! Prince saw me taking pictures!
















<==The Knight says "Go Princess and Prince!"

Basketball for the Princess and the Prince!

Saturday was a super busy in FamilyOF5Land too!

I took Princess to Basketball Evaluations Saturday morning. This is really kind of neat. One of the big churches down here runs an athletic center. In the winter they offer basketball and cheer leading. Last year Princess chose cheer leading and it was a lot of fun but I cannot tell you how happy I am that she chose basketball this year! I would much rather have her participate in a sport than watch and cheer for a sport. (Side note: Those little cheerleaders worked really, really hard last year and I came out of the entire experience with a better understanding of how cheer leading works! If she chooses cheer leading next year I will be fine with that.)

In any event, she wanted to try basketball this year! So, I signed her up, paid online and took her to her evaluation on Saturday morning. Evaluations are not has bad as they seem. The coaches are trying to spread out the talent so no one team is better than the rest of the teams. This is a "for fun" experience.

While I was there I asked if the Prince would be able to participate too? He is 4 1/2 and they require the kids to be 5. I was ecstatic when they said "yes"! I brought him in for an evaluation. He will be playing on the Kindergarten team. How cool! I have been meaning to get him into some sort of sport since he turned 4, so this is great!

Hopefully they will have practices on the same night. They will both have games on Saturdays so that will get a little crazy but it is all in the name of fun and exercise!
