Basketball

Today marked the end of the basketball season for Joseph and Caleb. It only lasted three weeks. But it is amazing how much kids that age can improve in three weeks! Also, I was one of Joseph's team's coaches. I know! They were sending out lots of really desperate sounding emails because no one was willing to volunteer, so finally I did, and my friend Amanda coached with me. Her husband also helped out a LOT by corralling Caleb and Isaac during our practice since Nephi had to teach at that time and I had to bring them with me. Here's most of our team:

Caleb loves sports, and he's pretty good, too.

Joseph is always disappointed that he's not a superstar without ever having played a sport before. I'm not sure if team sports are his thing - mostly a temperament mismatch more than a talent mismatch. We'll see. But he did really well today and felt proud that he got third place in the bounce pass competition.

He really wanted his team to win the dribbling relay race! (And they did. Go Green!)

Isaac hid in small places.

Overall, it actually was a good few weeks. But mostly in retrospect. The logistics of getting everyone fed and to practice and in the right clothes and running the practice that I was in charge of really dominated my day, and not always in a good way. It's going to kill me when my kids really get into activities in a few years.
