Hoosiers

Matthew had a busy work day the other day in the garage. He put up some cabinets that he was given and also a sports organizer shelf that his mom gave us. It was, I thought, the perfect chance for him to set up the basketball hoops. (It was part of our pop-a-shot that we had in the basement, but because Mark was never tall enough to play he always leaned on the bars and eventually broke them, so we kept the hoops and decided to put them up in the garage. ) The kids were thrilled and started playing immediately. I told Matt that he put it up way too high and that maybe Mark would eventually be able to get one in, but that Makenna wouldn't be able to for at least a year or so. Well, of course, I was proven wrong. They both did great, and the chalk board that Matt put up last year has really started to come in handy for keeping score. They loved putting up another slash when they got a basket in. It's perfect for them to play and will be even better when the weather gets cold. They have definitely been staying active these past few days. :)
