Basketball Gal

Emily joined the city recreation basketball league for boys and girls in kindergarten and 1st grade. It was fun to watch these kids learn the game. Some were actually pretty good, others.....well....they probably won't be joining the NBA. Emily fit pretty good right in the middle. The last game of the season was the most exciting as Emily made two baskets. We've included some GREAT footage for all to enjoy....so enjoy!
In order to teach the kids about guarding another player, each player was given a colored arm band. They were to look for opponent with the same color arm band and play defense. Emily was one of the best defensive players. It didn't matter if her team was on offense or defense, she was on defense. ..even if the ball was on the other side of the court. That's our girl!

That's my girl. It was sure fun to watch her play. The basket she made in the video was one of three that night! Next year she'll be in the newspapers! Way to go "the divine Miss Em!"

She Wears Me Out

Why is it when I need to stick to a schedule and get things done, there are those that try to keep me from completing anything?? Let me introduce you to Miss Kelch....you can see she has had an eventful morning. I had made some chocolate peanut butter bars in the morning to be ready for the kids for an after school snack....Kelsey enjoyed the frosting off of the bars while I was using the facilities. While cleaning up the chocolate mess, I realized things had gotten too quiet. Upon opening the door to my bathroom, I found the lovely miss Kelsey applying some mascara to her lushes eye lashes..as well as the fronts of my bathroom cabinets. As I was cleaning up the mascara with my favorite tool...the Magic Eraser..I heard Alyson crying and realized she was laying (unprotected) on the ottoman. As I ran down the stairs and rounded the corner....I found this.... I must admit I was pretty impressed she was able to get Alyson into this feeding position. I'm guessing it wasn't a smooth ...
