Wow, Can you believe I went this long without a post? We have had nonstop basketball games and no one ever really believes how busy we are with them. Between the two girls there are easily seven games a week and over 15 hours of practice. Once you put that all together it's 25 hours of basketball each and every week. But we can't get enough. When I asked the girls what special thing they wanted to do for Valentines day, they agreed... The Harlem Globetrotters! So off we went for a fun night of basketball in the cheap nosebleed seats. Once the game started we did what every red blooded american family would do... we looked for open seats a little closer to the floor. We stayed up in the nose bleed area but at least we weren't sitting right under the cat walk, and the first row in the nose bleeds is as good as the top seat on the floor, right?
We bought some kind of family package and we told the guy at the counter that we wanted the $120 seats put in the family package. He didn't fall for it, but we did get a hotdog in that package. Much better deal then the $120 seats don't you think?
Reanna is so mentally into basketball that it's fun to watch her little mind work with some of the tricks on the refs. She's wondering if she could stuff a basketball under someone's shirt and get them called for traveling. She's thinking to herself I could just hand the ball to the other team as they are falling out of bounds and get the ball right back. I wonder if I could put the ball on the floor and have the other team be baffled as to where it went. Hmmmmm, you can see the little wheels turn. Raina on the other hand wanted to take some dribbling lessons. She saw some mad skills she thinks she could use. It was just a barrel of laughs and everyone went home happy. Squishy especially liked it. It is so much fun to take her to experience new things. You can just watch the light go on in her head. I wouldn't be surprised to see her dribbling a ball when no one is looking. She said it was a comedy show and somewhere in the middle a basketball game broke out.
Raina is still doing well in school dispite up to 30 hours of basketball every week in addition to her school work. She is still on the honor roll and really seems to have come into her own in high school. She's in her element.
I nevr know what to think about the grading in Squishys school. The do an entire different type of grading instead of a's b's and c's they call it initial, reaching, strong. but they don't directly go with an a, b or c so I can't figure out what kind of grades she's really getting but her teachers all seem to like her. I just have to find her nich. I think with her it might be music. I need to get her piano lessons.
Well, nothing exciting today at therapy. We talked about squishy and reanna being uncomfortable when trevor kisses Raina or either of them sit on each others laps. We've decided to not allow that. We're going to talk to Trevor about that when we see him tomorrow. Raina's basketball games are at Trevors school so I'm sure he'll be there.
Well, it's my bed time and hopefully I'll be able to update more later.
I'm counting my blessings tonight and you'll be in them.
