Champions!!

Yesterday we went & cheered on my youngest sister, Kendall, who coaches the 7th grade girls basketball team at Blalack Middle School in Carrollton. This is her first year to coach and her team was playing for the district championship! They beat 2 teams today in the tournament that they had previously lost to during the regular season. Kendall had planned out some great defensive strategies on a key player on the other team & it worked out perfectly! It was a close game, but Blalack led the whole game & pulled it off by 2 points! It is also a sweet victory as this was the middle school my sisters & I went to growing up and where Kendall played basketball, as well. We had so much fun cheering them on. We are so proud of you, Kendall...you are a great coach!!

The 100th Day!

Today was the 100th day of school! YIPPEE! 1st grade celebrated by wearing 100 of something to school. Kindergarten celebrated by dressing up as 100 year olds. The kids rotated classes for the first part of the day & did a different 100's day activity in each of the classes. Below are a couple pics of some of the cute ideas the kids came up with...100 google eyes, 100 dollar bills, $100 worth of monopoly money, 100 braids in hair, etc. We are 100 days smarter in 1st grade & over half way through the year!! Hooray!
