we live to play another day

Basketball season is almost over. Marcus's team had their playoff game last night against Duke. They had played this team twice before and had split the series.  Marcus did pretty well.  He tried for a couple shots that didn't go in-but they were the kind that were right on-just hopping out of the basket.  He got a couple fouls-but did not foul out like in his last game.  Overall, his confidence as a player has increased this season and he seems to be understanding more about the game.  They play in the championship on Sunday at 2pm-good luck!

In other news, our new crawler has added "trying to pull up" to her list of new things. 

Cale plays in his final game on Saturday afternoon against a team that was undefeated until Cale's team beat them about a month ago.

Illness is hanging out with us this month.  I think everyone has been sick with either fevers, respiratory stuff or stomach stuff.  The lastest to go down was Ewan on Thursday.  Poor kid's been running a temp and not feeling to awesome.  Of course, he had to go to Marcus's game-not because he wanted to, but because we were meeting Andy there after he got off work.  Thank goodness for ibuprofen.

On a happier, healthier note, I have purchased curtains for our bedroom!  I found them at Hobby Lobby (50% off this week).  They are white sheer with a black damask pattern and will need another curtain to be hung behind them to keep the room dark, which means a double curtian rod (putting that on my shopping list).   I also got some scrapbook paper in that trip with grand plans to finish both Liam's and Kella's first year scrapbooks this spring.

And, I think I have found the color to repaint the boys' room with.  It is called Ship's Harbour and is a darker blue than what they currently have.  According to all the boys, coached by Andy no doubt, the two colors I put up on the wall to test look excactly the same.  Whatever.  Momma is happy and therefore they should be happy, too.
