It is basketball season around our home.
J and S are both playing basketball.
It's a little insane trying to get them to practices, but we manage. This coming weekend are their first games.
J is not the tallest on his team, which is amazing. It's his first year playing. There are two guys on his team that are really good, so we have some good guys to learn from.
S is on a team made up of kids from his school. That is really nice to know everyone. In fact, both boys ended up with Christians as coaches, which is a blessing.
I have to admit that it brings back lots of good memories for me. I played for over 10 years, and coached for a year. It is fun to be able to share this with them. I even thought about coaching one of them in the future. (It's the mommy chauffeur that doesn't enjoy this so much. It sure does make me appreciate my mother even more. My mom was a saint!)
The bad part is that J is now in men's size shoes. He wears a 7.5 in men's shoes. Sigh. Men's shoes are almost double the cost of little boys' shoes. Let's just say that we spent a few pennies on his new high tops. At least he found a solid blue pair like these, which is his favorite color.
We will let you know how the games turn out.
