Happy New Year! Time to jump through some hoops.

Basketball hoops that is.  At this moment, Mr. man is watching Willie and the Hawks duke it out.  This Saturday, our kids Upward games start.  Since only one child is playing in any given game, and we have three kids playing, that means we know what we're doing for about four hours every Saturday for the next several weeks.   (E1 took a pass.  He'll stick to dance and bowling, thankyouverymuch.)
   I can't wait!  Nothing is cuter than kindie sports.  Miss P is a hoot.  Piggies flying, determined pout in place, and flashing eyes as she hip-hops around the court.
   Almost as entertaining, is watching the very determined Ms D. play on a coed team where she's the only girl, and the shortest person by at least four inches.  She's great at getting the ball and learning dribbling, but oh, that basket is so high!   
    Tagging along for the ride is E2.  He's tall and skinny.  He's Mr. M's kid.  He has to at least try basketball, and see how he likes it.  I think he'll be okay.  He's in the middle of the pack, even though he has never played before.  Don't see it replacing football as a first love, but hey, it's a sport.  He likes sports.
   We do too, especially when it's our children playing them.
