It was another week dominated by basketball. We had our usual practice schedule, but this weekend's tournament spilled onto Friday, in addition to Saturday and Sunday. That meant that we had four separate trips to Sherwood over three days. The boys all played their hearts out this weekend. We had several blow out games and one harder-fought championship game, but the boys pulled out a tournament win. Not only did they win, but the tournament was a qualifier for the state tournament in Salem, so they were able to punch their ticket for that as well. In the end, the boys walked away with shirts, socks, foam fingers, bag tags, medals, and smiles for days.
For those of us not practicing and playing basketball 30 hours a week, the major excitement was preparing for Christmas. We have been wrapping gifts and starting to make treats. On Friday, Elsie helped me make approximately 150 ounces of salsa to give people. She was especially excited about helping with washing the dishes, which I didn't mind, except when we tried to flood the kitchen.
This coming week Merrick doesn't have any tournaments, just practice, so we will have a bit more time (plus no school!!!). We are planning lots of baking and decorating gingerbread houses. I might even have time to finish wrapping Christmas presents, fingers crossed on that one.
