Basketball continues on in full force around here. This past weekend, Emma and Elliott had a basketball game at Good Shepherd. My parents came to town for the game and we had a pretty good weekend.
Mom and Dad got to town around 11:00 am. We visited, ate some lunch, and then we headed across town to Good Shepherd. Elliott played his game first. The C Team did well, but they lost their last game (as well as the rest of them). There were just too many kids not knowing what they were doing. It was definitely a year of learning for them. But, we all had fun cheering them on and watching them play.
Emma's team was a little more fun to watch. They hung tough and ended up winning. Emma had to guard a girl that was a foot taller than her, and she did a really good job battling down low and playing tough defense. She was getting frustrated at times, but she did really well. She also scored like 8 points or something, and mom and dad enjoyed seeing that.
At the end of the A-team game, the other team put in some smaller players, so Kristen grabbed Elliott and put him in, and he scored a basket with the big kids. He thought that was pretty cool.
After all the basketball, we headed to Look's Meat Market for some beers and appetizers. It was a fun place to check out with mom and dad. The kids even enjoyed it. Afterwards, we headed home. The kids showered and relaxed, while the adults went to Blue Rock for supper. We had a couple more beers and some delicious supper. Then, we headed back home and played some games and hung out with the kids.
On Sunday, we went to church, bible study, and then had a nice brunch at home. Mom and Dad stayed for a little while and we visited and played some Mexican Train. They headed home around 2:00pm. Then, we got into hosting mode, and got ready for the Super Bowl. We had the Hinners over, and enjoyed some food and football. The Chiefs beat the 49ers in overtime. But, overall it was a pretty boring game.
This past week flew by in a flash, and it was crazy. We were busy every single night. We filled the week with basketball practice, basketball games, parent-teacher conferences, Ash Wednesday, and a sick kid. Emma went home on Thursday not feeling well, but she was back at school today and feeling better.
Today, we are enjoying a nice Friday afternoon. The kids don't have homework so we are listening to music, playing and just enjoying ourselves. And doing a little cleaning. Tonight, we are going to check out the brand new Dairy Queen that opened right by us. They just opened on Tuesday, and since the kids had good reports in the parent teacher conferences, we are rewarding them with some ice cream.
Otherwise our weekend is pretty quiet. We don't have much planned, and we are okay with that. :)
