Slam DUNK!

Another season is coming to an end today. It is the end of Basketball season for B and MG. They did great. B made it to the allstars and had a lot of fun and learned a lot. MG made it through the season and stopped asking to sit out.

Things I learned:
-It's not over until it's over.
-It's okay to lose the whole season, as long as your losing margin shrinks with every game.
-What good sportsmanship is. I learned this from my daughter.
-I am not the loudest parent in the stands.
-Even the most "anti-sport" relative will get into the groove and start yelling when the game gets good.
-Who will go out of their way and comfort zone just to let your kids know they are important.
-basketball is more violent than football. I am serious on this one.
-how to fall in love all over again with both of my daughters.

We spent a lot of time together this season, with 2-3 hour practices, countless dollars at the concession stand, and nail biting games. It has been quite a ride. Now, we are going to enjoy our week off and then it is headlong into TRACK!!!! Runners, take your positions!!!!
