Sam's First Basketball Practice

-
Last Monday night was Sam's first basketball practice.  It was Finn's first for the season too, but it was Sam's first ever practice.  He was so excited to go.  There are six kids on his team. Brandon is the coach and Michael is the assistant coach.

Sam was a little timid.  Frankly, I was surprised at his timidity. At home he is super aggressive.  As the night went on he got a little better, but I could tell that he wasn't giving 100%.

This is the team doing their mid-practice bible study.  At this session the team was supposed to pick a team name.  One little girl asked to be named the Brown Bloodwolves - they settled for the Brown Bears (sounds like the book).





Finn's practice was right after Sam's.  They had some "team name" drama as well.  One of the players wanted to be called the "Begley Baby Pups."  The boys on the team all vetoed the name and they wound up with the "Begley Bucks."  

Will came to both practices.  He was pretty good - seeing as how there is plenty to watch and listen too.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
