Whacky Wednesdays...

Kristen was invited to join a gymnastics pre-team called Hot Shots. Today was her first team practice. She seemed to really enjoy the practice, her teammates, her coach, and especially the team uniform. It was also team photo day so she was thrilled to pose for the cameras in her new red leo. I can't wait to see how they turned out.

Earlier this afternoon, we entered the final month of Odyssey of the Mind meetings for Lauren's team. The team hammered out the script and made some animal modifications. Bunny out, puppy in. Duck out, monkey in. I think it might have been the most productive meeting to date. Eventually I'll get this coaching thing down. ha! There was a sharp reduction in the number of times I needed to ask the children to stop crawling under the table and running down the halls.

Next week we add Lauren's lacrosse practice to the mix. Lauren joined "The Tribe" and will be playing on a U9 team this spring. This is our first foray into the world of youth lacrosse so there is no predicting how things will go. The mouthguard shaping was a bit dicey but eventually it fit in her mouth and she doesn't seem to mind the protective eye goggles. Fortunately for everyone, I am not the coach.
