Basketball Season is in full swing

I don't know if there is a term for a Basketball mom but boy there should be. Life at our house is crazy on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The only reason that I am not pulling my hair out is because I have Kevin. I know that I would not survive much of anything without his help. The girls practices on Tuesday overlap and then some of their games are at the same time also. It has been a juggling act but we have managed.

Allison is having a blast with her team. Two of her best friends are on the team and one of their dads is her coach so she is very comfortable. Kevin and I really enjoyed her first game. She had already sat through two of Madison's games so she was all geared up to play. She was all over the court and stealing the ball like crazy. It was really great to watch. This season for Madison is more serious then past years. Madison decided to try out for the AAU team instead of play non competitive YMCA. We were very excited when she made it because she tried out a week in a half after she got her appendix out. She was very bummed to find out that her best friend didn't make it but I think that it has helped Madison to learn to play with people that she doesn't know. Madison has two practices a week and then two games on Saturday. The second week of practice she had a little break down and informed me that he life was hectic and she just needed to relax. I felt bad that that is how she felt but now that she is used to her schedule she is doing better. She has had played four games so far and they have been pretty intense. Things are definitely different from last season but this is good for her since she loves playing and wants to keep this up.
