GO CHARTER!!

Kelsie and Brooke play their Championship basketball game tonight at the High School. They already won their league and went undefeated, but now they are having championship playoffs. We have already beat this team twice, but I am sure they will be after us tonight. The other night at the church, after yelling at Kelsie to get off her friends skateboard and stay off it till after the game tonight, she goes into the gym and plays basketball with the boys and what does she do? We thought she broke her finger, but her Doctor looked at it at school this morning when he dropped his daughter off and he thinks it is just a bad sprain. So she gets to play through the pain!!

GO CHARTER!!

update...

I know, I know, it's about time I update. I am getting bugged that I need to update. Sorry! Normal life still happens. One of the things keeping me busy is this...

Kelsie and Brooke also have their first tournament basketball game this afternoon. They had an undefeated season, so "should " win the tournament also. Brooke was so excited to make her first basket in a game at the last game. Remember she's only a 5th grader playing against 8th graders. GOOD LUCK KELSIE AND BROOKE!

***edited*** They won their game and now get to play for the championship at the high school on friday night. Yeah!! Against a team they have already beat twice. They should take it all!!

Basketball and field trips

Wow, it's been a week since I've posted. Guess that means we have gotten back into our busy routine with school already. Talking with a friend on the phone tonight she said, " I don't know how you do it." Sometimes I don't either. (She works full time though so that's a different kind of busy) It's running from one thing to another all week long. I wanted to get some pictures today to post, but they didn't turn out. Kelsie and Brooke both started this week playing on their school basketball team. They won their first game today. Yeah!! Brooke is the youngest on the team. She is a 5th grader playing against 6th-8th graders. She was very nervous today before their game telling me, "They are all so big." But she did great. We were 1/2 hour late getting to the church for activity days after their game. We had to take 3 girls straight to the church in their uniforms still and all sweaty. Guess I learned I can't schedule both things in the same night anymore. My bad!

I went on a field trip with Brooke's class to the county courthouse. It was pretty interesting. They did a mock trial and Brooke was chosen to be the victim. Here she is being "sworn in" and then she had to tell how she got her bike stolen. It was fun for the kids to see how the system works.
