snow and more basketball

Sunday, we woke up to ice and snow.  Over near hermano's house, the ice was really bad.  We got skim coat of ice under everything due to the rain that came through before the snow.  We got just about an inch of snow.  The roads were bad enough in the morning, that we stayed home from church.  it was so nice to sleep in until 9 am.  Rocket slept until 8:30 and then he got up quietly and watched cartoons. 

 

Pablo loves the snow the first day, but today (Monday), he does not like it because it is like ice on the back steps.

This is Pablo going out into the snow for the first time on Sunday

 

Rocket had his second basketball game of the weekend on Sunday afternoon.  The roads were better, but we could see the ice on road.  Monday morning, there were lots of accidents due to the ice.  The temperatures on Monday never made it above freezing.

 

Back to the basketball game.  Rocket's team lost.  They made the other team work for each point, but no one was making baskets for us 

this is warm ups.

team huddle before the game.

Mam, Uncle Darrell and Auntie Lulu watching the game.  Above them in the stands are the other 5th grade parents.  We are a crowd.  I was doing the score book for the coaches again, it is my job and I like it.

Half time, team huddle EAGLES

Rocket was in bounding the ball again Sunday.  I like that he gets to participates in the game more this year.  He is not just a forward or a guard under the basketball.  I love his coaches this year.  I hope the coaches stay with them for the next year.

in the hallway, after the game, for debriefing.

 

There is more snow excepted Tuesday, which would really suck because Rocket is participating in the school Spelling Bee.  If school is cancelled, they will have to reschedule the event and I am not sure I will able to participate.  But, Rocket is hoping for a snow day and I think there is a 70-80 % chance he will have the day off.  The snow is expected right before rush hour and the temperatures are going to be below 10 degrees F (1-2 Celsius) and it will get colder through the day.

 

Well, rocket needs to head to bed, which means I need to go read him some books before bed.

 

Love and hugs,
