Upward Basketball, Megan style...

Megan has really enjoyed playing Upward Basketball at the church this year. Normally she plays soccer, but Mom did not feel like standing in the cold and rain at 8:30am on Saturday morning. So she tried a sport she's never played, and she's learned so much.

The highlights of the season were

1. Throw-back to the '60s night - the girls played 60's style basketball (for women). Three on three on each end of the court, and no crossing the center line. They even dressed like 60s players, and 60s music played in the gym during the game. They had a blast, and Megan got two baskets that night! 

2. Upward day at the Lady Noles game. This past Sunday, the 5th grade Upward teams attended the Lady Noles game at the Civic Center, and the 5th grade girls got to play at half-time! It was a blast, and they looked so cute out there on that big court.

They got to watch the Noles kick some butt against Maryland, too!

It was an experience Megan will never forget.

Happy February!

It seems like February is passing me by! I've wanted to post for lots of things but just haven't found the time to do it. Megan has been playing basketball for the Upward Basketball  league at the church and she loves it! (I will devote a post to that soon because I have some good pics.)

I think I got my decorations up a few days before Valentine's Day. It came and went before I could really enjoy them. The one decoration that we did enjoy was Danny's valentines box for school. His assignment was to create a box in the theme of his favorite book. He picked Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman, and he won first place in his class! He was so excited. I've posted pics of it, and one even shows his ribbon.

We also attended Megan's middle school curriculum fair (I can't believe she's going into middle school!), and she's very excited. This week, we started the birthday marathon with Mom Creamer's yesterday (Happy Birthday, Mom!), George's tomorrow, Dad Gilbert's on Monday (Happy Birthday, Dad!), and Megan's on Thursday. With all of this, basketball season, and normal life - I'm pooped!
