No one's awake yet; it was just some whining downbeat in Bobby Flay's background track.
I hear it's supposed to be snowing up a storm in OK. Here in AR, it's just raining and pouring. The old man's at work and isn't snoring but I get to work in my PJs all day. I do love that feature of my job.
Beatle had her first Upward basketball game on Saturday (and it was ours too as coaches). We had fun! It was a circus on the court but Beatle stayed preoccupied with biting her fingernails and staring off into space. When she actually engages, if basketball doesn't toughen Beatle up I don't know what will.
Beatle is supposed to journal daily and her teacher looks at what she's done at home when she reviews the journals on Monday. Over the weekend, she journaled that she bloodied her knee while playing basketball with me in our backyard. And, in the picture, her little knees were all bloddy and I stood above her, holding the basketball, laughing. Which it is true, but seriously didn't want that documented for Mrs. B to see!

Preface: This is going to be a long comment on the last several posts. Bear with me.
ReplyDeleteYour January was anything but bland! I bet you'll never utter those words again! :)
I knew Birdie was going to be just like when she was born and had that Edminsten sparkle in her eye. Always a blast and looking for the next adventure!
I was wondering how basketball was going. What did you do with the two little ones? I can just imagine both coaches with babies on their backs trying to corral a gaggle of kindergarteners. Makes me smile.
Journal every day? Is that her only homework or is there more? I would love to have my students do that; it would provide my comedic relief on a daily basis!
I love you so much! When we went to Tulsa this weekend we longed for our besties. TJ just kept saying how our chemistry is perfect. If he asks either of you to marry him next time we see you don't say I didn't warn you! He's smitten, even after all these years!
Good point about Blanduary. Definitely not boring! And yes, there are plenty of backpacks and strollers on game days! It's really ridiculous but it's funny and memorable too. I'm so thankful that some of the players' parents have seen us struggle and heard our cries; now, each baby has an assigned family group to sit with so Saturdays are a little easier now. As far as the homework, yes, she is supposed to do that everyday as well as review sight words, read from certain books, etc. I feel like I'm such a slacker but her best friend's mom and I have practically made a blood pact that if one gets retained, so does the other! haha! Did y'all have a ball in Tulsa? That's so fun for you guys to get away! Such kind things written...we feel the very same way! There will never be another Amanda and TJ!!! <3 you guys!
