Basketball Season

So we transitioned from soccer over to basketball.  Life in this household has become extremely busy.  Both Joshua and Jenna are playing.  They practice on the same days, but different times and locations, so I am really hopping.  My calendar looks like something blew up on it, but like always, I wouldn't trade these moments. Josh does not start but is playing on the varsity team (because they do not have a JV team this year).  He has had two games and played both, scored both, but also made so errors.....but so did everyone.  Jenna has had three games.  She has started all 3 and scored in two of them.  Friday she did not score but her defense was excellent.  She had several steals and made them turnover the ball so I was proud. 

State Fair

I'm late posting this but a couple of weeks ago we went to the NC state fair.  We don't normally go on a Saturday, but we wanted to enter Jenna in a competition that was on Saturday.  She wanted to enter a cookie decorating contest.  We walked around for a little bit and then the boys wanted to try their pull-ups in front of the Marines. Wes and Josh both well and got "prizes" for doing enough.  We then walked Jenna over to find the place to sign up.  We kinda stayed close to the area because it was the first 10 people who signed up at 3.  This competition was for 11/12 year olds (they had different ages all week).  She got a spot!!  We thought it might be small sugar cookies, but found out it was a square big cookie.  She decided to stick with the plan she had for the smaller ones.  I had so much fun watching her.  They had 15 minutes to do this and then just like the shows, it was "hands up".  She kept her cool even when they said "go" but her color was not there and she had to wait for them to bring it to her while the others started.  She ended up with third place and we were so proud.  She got a ribbon and $10 to the state fair store.  (she chose and apron to get).
