But I don't know how to play

Hi, Madalyn had her 1st basketball game today. They don't practice, I am not sure why but they don't so we get there and Maddie looks at me and said, But mom I don't even know how to play. Um ok, but you said you wanted to play so you will learn with everyone else today as you play. Ok she said, so we get her shirt, it has a 4 on it - Oh coach you gave me the wrong shirt I'm 8, the coach (i have no clue of her name) looks at Maddie and said the #8 shirt is too big for you the taller girl needs to wear it. Maddie said but you don't understand I am 8 I have always been 8 I need the #8, I had to go explain to her that in softball she is 8 and in basketball she is 4 and that's a great number to have. She said well, ok but make sure you are looking for the #4 shirt wile your watching me. She's too funny. She did really well to have never played, they teach them a little in school but not a real game. Her team won their 1st game by 4 points and Lost their 2nd game by 1 point. There are only 3 teams in her age group, so every 3rd Saturday we have 2 games instead of 1. Landon did real good "watching" her play.

Jason dressed up as Santa today for Collin's Cub Scout Den. They had a blast, We told our kids that Santa had a cold and didn't want to bring his Germs to all the boys, (they have learned a lot about germs) so he called their dad to be his helper, and even mailed him the santa suite! They thought that was the coolest ting ever, their dad was Santas friend. Landon cried at our house when Jason was getting ready, but by the time we got to the park, he was fine sat in Santa's lap for some great pictures.
