Update
The seasons are changing. Yesterday was so windy that all of a sudden many of the trees are bare. Yuck. Not the red maple in front of my house though. Being a little tree on the south side of the house, it missed the brunt of yesterday's wind. It's still pretty.
Along with the weather, the kids' sports are changing as well. Soccer, volleyball and softball have given way to basketball. I love watching this b/c I actually understand it better than especially volleyball. I also think the way good players move is a work of art, more so than in some of the other sports.
Jaden isn't old enough to play in our city league so I'm looking into having her play on a Y team. She's so old beyond her years in some ways having watched her 3 big sisters do everything sportswise. Payten is playing JV for the high school. After last year's disappointment, she won't even consider trying out for varsity. My town is suburban in looks but when it comes to high school sports, it is still very, very, very small town and when the athletic director's niece is the same age as you are and likes to play the same position, well, forget it. She'll always get the upper hand. I'm just praying that the AD's niece makes varsity this year as a sophomore b/c if she and Payten end up on the same team, there will be no playing time for Payten guaranteed. I told her if she doesn't play much she can quit at Christmas break time and focus on soccer which is her first love.
Rented 'Blades of Glory' last weekend. Funny. Very funny.
MK is back to himself. Sigh. I want that man.
