Now that the boys' basketball season is over and Lena is no longer cheering we have slowed our schedules...just a bit. The season ended on a very high note...our seventh grade boys won the state championship! I can't adequately describe how much fun it was to watch them develop over the season and have it all culminate in such a great experience. Lena had a great time cheering during the championship game. It was a very exciting night! I've got some great pictures of her and will post them in the near future.
Our sister school, Holy Trinity, won the 8th grade championship. Central Catholic HS will be a basketball powerhouse in a few years! Quite cool that the two best 2A teams in the state are parochial schools here in Blm/Nml.
Now that basketball is over, the girls are picking up an additional night of tumbling...unfortunately for us, they go on different nights. Lena has picked up tumbling that is geared towards cheerleaders and Ally, my "boingy baby", has picked up a trampoline class. (When Ally was a baby and through her toddler years, we coined her "boingy baby" because she was constantly jumping up and down.)
Lena got her braces put on today. Suddenly what she thought would be so cool because so many other kids have them, well, isn't so cool now that her mouth hurts. She had mashed potatoes for dinner tonight. Tom and I have been reminiscing about our "braces days" resulting in much eye rolling by our children. They're becoming much less tolerant of us as they get older. Sometimes that feeling is mutual!
Not a lot of excitement going on here (other than shaking our heads at national politics...I'll avoid that topic here!)...which is rather nice for now.
Here's to hoping that spring weather arrives in Central Illinois VERY SOON!
