Winning and Losing

Everett's basketball team hosted a Parents vs. Kids game to end his season.  Contrary to what the kids expected, the parents won in a landslide. While I admit it was fun to get out there and show Everett that his old man still has a little game left, I have to question whether I was a winner or a loser ....

this broken finger I suffered would certainly suggest not a winner ...

Two Step

Amelia went to hang out with a group of friends today and sent me this picture after one of her friends pointed out that in her last-second haste, she accidentally put on two different shoes...

Luckily for her, this family subscribes to the simple belief that if one of us goes down, we all go down...   Everett and I showed up like this when we picked her up and gave her friends a hard time for being boring and wearing two of the same kind of shoes.  Obviously, it didn't make her feel any better about her blunder, but it did make her feel loved by her idiot dad and brother... that has to count for something.

Holding Court

 The only thing better than going to a local basketball game with one of your good buddies.....

...is sitting courtside so you can hear the coach and the older boys come up with their secret plans...
