Action Packed!

What a week!  The weather was fantastic - just like summer should be (except that it is only spring...but I digress).  The kids and I have been playing outside everyday for hours after school.  Yesterday I even took my basketball to the park and played 21 with Naomi and a school chum of hers.  Naomi skunked us with a cool 23 and I was a close second with 19.  She made some super shots!!  Naomi and her friend took the time to explain the game to me - and even hi-fived when I got a swish (that's when the ball goes through the hoop without touching).  Yeah!  Great fun.

Next it was hockey fever this week in the driveway, and rollerblading too!  Naomi and Ben made a cool path on the driveway which included a highway, free road and a pond too!  Naomi even made up a song that went something like "follow the arrows, follow the arrows, follow the arrows" (wait, the funny part is coming up)...the song reminded me of the movie The Hangover and the part when they are driving along and the awkward guy sings "we're best friends, the best friends ever" (something like that) and keeps singing the same words!  I was cracking up thinking about that!!

And lastly Naomi was on the blades and the sun was in front of her - casting a shadow on the garage door.  I had to get a picture of this - it was so cool.  Check it out:

I think this is the most fun I've had in a long time...and here's a great quote that I came across:

"While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about."  

They sure do.

Keep smiling!
