It is worth noting that the last post about the boys loving the movie Home Alone is a complete understatement . . . . they are obsessed with everything about it!! We have watched it several more times this weekend, and it's super fun each time. So happy we share this love together! Other things have happened since we began to love Home Alone. Santa Claus came to Beau's school for pictures. Beau decided that he didn't want a picture with that Santa because he wanted a picture with Lincoln at the "Cookie Mall" Santa (the Galleria Santa is where we always go). He did decide that he wanted to visit the school Santa even though he didn't want a picture. Sweet Beau searched through his book basket and selected a copy of The Velveteen Rabbit as a gift to take to the school Santa. He said that Santa always brings people presents, and it would be good to take him a present. Santa and Beau read the book together, then Beau insisted that he keep it. Santa looked at Mommy with a shock and a smile, and Beau was so proud that he got to give Santa a present. I'm not sure how many kids give Santa a present, and I'm not sure how much Beau is super sweet, but this was one of the sweetest moments between a little kid and a Santa that I've ever seen!
Lincoln was busy with his first basketball practice and game on Saturday, and we were all excited to go watch. We've been working on dribbling and passing, and number 45 was good on those. Our practices have been kind of limited to the dining room, so we had to work on the basic skills in the space we had. We have a kindergarten Bowie team, and it was actually fun!
After a 45 minute practice, we moved to the other part of the gym for a game. It was full of hustle and effort . . . and just about what you would expect a Kindergarten team would score. Our team won 8-4, but we weren't actually keeping score!!!
Lincoln needs a little practice with shooting at the basket . . . we didn't have one of those in our dining room. We solved that problem with buying a basketball goal at Academy for the backyard! Bring on the NBA scouts because we are loving basketball!
