Swim meet, then....Basketball double header

  My little hippie slept over Kara's house and did some traveling very early in the a.m. for her swim meet.  Daddy and Mommy went to meet Kara up north to cheer her on.  She once again smiled the whole way through and when it was all over, we rushed home to have her and Jimmy compete in back to back basketball games.  Jimmy's team has had a renewed energy and suddenly have begun to compete against other teams.  Friday night, they actually won with Jimmy scoring the winning basket!!!  On Sunday, they were headed to familiar territory when they were suddenly down by 18 points.  Then something happened...what it was I dont know but they came back and tied the game.  It was so exciting.  Okay, they ended up losing but how exciting was it to see them burst right back into the game.  Laura's team ended up holding on for a four point victory as well.  Laura is playing up against older kids and she enjoys that challenge as she does when the coaches puts her in races against much older competitors.  Lots of times before she gets on the block to jump in the water, she will look up at us and do a little hippie dance.......so awesome to see her smiling her way through....you just want to hug her.....yeah, we do!

   I was so relieved to find out that George Michael, formerly lead singer of WHAM, has now taken the referee position at the middle school....This guy takes his job real serious, very serious.  I started singing some songs from the stands that I thought were george michael songs, until someone informed me that i was singing Boy George songs...heyyy, just about the same right????
