Basketball playoffs and grade cards

Brenden's team has their first playoff game today at 1pm. The only bad thing is that on his team are two particular players who hold on to the ball and refuse to pass or play their plays right. These two boys always take it to the basket whether someone is open to pass to or not and they don't follow the plays they are supposed to be doing at all. The other boys on the team get so mad at these two for never giving anyone else a chance with the ball. The only time the other boys get a chance with the ball is if they steal from the other team and take it in themselvers. So Brenden has had a good season with rebounds and assists but as for baskets, he hasn't had the ball to get to make one! But he makes most of his free throws in practice and we give him praise for that. You should see him on the court, he's totally yelling "DJ I'm open" and yet to the basket DJ goes, often not making the basket. Can you tell I'm ticked about that???? Last year Brenden was on a team who played well together and everyone got a chance to shoot.

Grade cards came home this week and Spencer got an S+ in absolutely everything. Brenden got 6 A's and 3B's. They are starting Geometry next week, in 4th grade!!! I don't remember having Geometry til junior high or high school. Cassidy has been playing school at home lately and is putting on a backpack and carrying a little lunch box and saying "bye, I'm going to school". Her teacher's name is Mrs. Post, which is Spencer's teacher. Next week we have the valentines' day parties at school and I think I'll take her this time instead of having mom come over to watch her while I'm at the school. Except she has to wear pants, which she keeps telling me that Mrs. Post said she doesn't have to wear pants to school. When she's playing school she's often in just her nightshirt and undies, her nightshirt being one of Brenden's old shirts that looks like a little dress on her. She loves to wear the boys' shirts for some reason and it's really cute!
