The routine

Last night, Daddy moved all the furniture in the living room to one corner.  The kids loved having a big open dance floor.  After bath, they asked for a dance party.  We put on some music for them and let them go crazy.  I danced with them for a little while, but got sidetracked in the kitchen.  After awhile the kids called me into the living room so I could see their new dance. 

They were so proud of themselves.  I love that they worked together and had fun too!

Basketball

John played basketball with the Tinton Falls recreation department again this winter. This year we had practice during the week and games on Saturdays. John's skills improved immensely as the season went on, but he has decided to not play basketball again next year. He says he doesn't like it. 

Saturday was his last game. They had a round robin tournament with all four of the second grade teams. His team played very well together. After the games the kids all got trophies. 

Team True Blue. 

Proud John!

Proud little sister!

And the very important picture of the sister holding the trophy!

Line Leader

Everyday when Daddy picks up the kids, one of them gets to be line leader. They get to lead the line of Daddy and their sibling to the car. Daddy is very diplomatic and alternates the line leader everyday. John and Gillian love to be line leader. It is their chance to be first. Gillian was line leader on Friday, so today was John's turn. Daddy picked the kids up from the playground today and told John that he was the line leader. John waited patiently at the sidewalk for everyone to join him. When Gillian lined up behind him, John moved next to her and put his arm on her shoulders and they walked side by side to the car. My sweet little boy shared being line leader with his little sister.
