randomness...

I am definitely having a lack of creativity. I am at a loss for witty things to say. Or even profound things to say! I am trying maybe a little too hard so! I will just tell you what has been going on here!

Basketball is OVER! what a season they had an impressing year with 0 wins out of 18 games. (Yes, you did read that correctly!) But it was a great year for the girls and it was fun having 2 girls on the middle school team. Most of the games started at 3:30 a few started at 5:00 but what we found out at the last game is that they start 10 minutes after the boys finish. (If the girls play the 3:30 game the boys start at 4:40ish and if the boys start at 3:30 the girls start at 4:50ish. We couldn't figure out why they kept telling us that the game was at 5:00 and we always missed the first quarter of the game. Well all that to say that Betsy started on Tuesdays game and had the first basket and only basket until the 3rd quarter. It was an outside shot that everyone was amazed she made. (not that she can't shoot but the team we played was a tough team) SO...getting to the game at 4:50 we learned that the game started at 4:40 UGH!!! we missed it!!! It was a great end to their season! The team lost their 2 "best" players early on for various reasons. Health and for one and other reasons for the other. However, with the two of them no longer on the team the rest of the girls really learned how to play a great game together! This was the coaches first year with them, and she did a great job! She wasn't all over them if they had an off game, she just worked harder with them and let them know that it was OK! God really knew that the girls needed a coach like her this year and it really showed in all of their attitudes!

What else? hmmm....home schooling, still trying to get the hang of it! We have great days and we have um, not so great days. I am just trying to get more done in the great days, then when we have a not so great day it is OK!

Potty training Claire. It has never been this difficult before~ that is all I am going to say. (the rest were trained by the time they were almost 2 or just after their birthday...UGH!)

Guatemala...no updates and you can check out that blog look on the sidebar.

Soccer on Saturdays for Meg is great. She lives to play soccer! It is so fun to watch her out their on the field. She can out run almost everyone, her very best friend Hannah is playing with her and she has never played before, Meg has given her lots of tips and so has her older brother so she is great to watch as well!

OH I almost forgot! I have a new coffee pot. Phil headed into Derry last night for a spark plug for his wood spliter and when he came home he had a package on teh counter! For those of you who have heard my coffe dilima for the past few weeks! I am back in the game! :) YIPEE

Um...I am not sure what else to write on so! Have fun catching up on us and hopefully next one will be a little more exciting and even a picture or two!
