Basketball season is over for us. There's still the awards ceremony this weekend, but we'll be in Sugar Mountain skiing. Derek's team had a heartbreaker on Saturday when the other team hit a running shot at the buzzer to beat us 32-31. But it was a terrific well played game by both teams. We finished out with a strong win last night. I'm really proud of the kids.
Adam's team was pretty much dominated by 2 kids who played keep away from the other kids. Adam still seemed to have fun running around. Hopefully, he'll have more of a clue next year.
On Saturday, Adam had a 9:00 game. We droppped Derek off at his friend Trevor's birthday party and then dropped Adam off at a play date with one of his classmates, Erin - a girl. We think he might have a crush on her. They were very cute playing together. He insisted that they played with a "castle", but it looked more like a "doll house" to us. Then Helen watched the little baby, Delaney, from next door and I hustled to pick Derek up at his birthday party and get to his basketball game.
With all of our running around we were really looking forward to a relaxing Sunday. We were sleeping in with Adam in our bed. Derek came in to cuddle a little and then left, as usual, to watch tv. Unfortunately, he decided to go down the stairs on his back. I jumped out of bed yelling some curse word. Helen was sound asleep and jumped up because she didn't know what was happening. We found Derek crumpled at the bottom of the stairs crying. He was having a hard time catching his breath. Helen and Adam took over and comforted Derek while I fumed on how it could happen if he was being careful and holding the rail as he's been told. After a while he calmed down and seemed fine. There were no visible marks and he only said that the middle of his back was sore. It's been a few days so I guess he's going to be ok. Can't we all just stay healthy?!
