Today we are out for the ice storm and for some reason I just can't get going.  I am glad schools were closed because I didn't have the energy to get myself up much less get the kids ready to go to school. 

Kailah wants to make ice pops...need to look on food network to get some idea of how to make them. Andrew had disappeared into the basement to play his games for one more day...not sure if he will have practice tonight but Michael is going to have to deal with that.

Speaking of practice it brings me to our new AAU team.  We are no longer associated with DC Assault, we are now Maryland's Finest.  So far it seems like an ok organization they gave us shoes for the boys this weekend and we are supposed to get sweat suits, bags, slippers, warmup shirts and some other stuff.  This is actually much better than we ever got treated with DC Assault because they never gave us anything.  Everything our kids ever had was paid for by us the parents. 

We played the other DC Assault team where three of our old players went to and it was not a good experience.  We lost by about 5 points but the parents fell apart.  It was a lot of yelling mainly by two parents but it made it bad for everybody even the kids.  We  almost lost one of our good players because our coach just got frustrated in dealing with the parent, but with a lot of talking he reconsidered his initial postion of letting the child leave the team.  We made it through that but we still have a way to go before we get back to the team we once were. 

Andrew is doing really well with his basketball! More to come on that front
