2012 = week 6
The tournament started on Monday at Saint Louis Catholic School.
Monday, we beat Grace St. Luke.
Tuesday, we beat Immaculate Conception.
and tonight, we beat Saint Francis for the 6th grade championship!!
.
Carly had her 3 best games of the season!
I told her that it was definitely the time to have them.
She got aggressive - scoring, rebounding, blocking shots, getting steals
and playing awesome defense.
Way to go Carly!!
I am tired but had so much fun.
I love those girls.

teaching her young
Without company and without Kenny,
I thought Carly and I might need something
to keep Carly and I interested in the Super Bowl game.
So I made us a score grid,
called Kenny, and we all picked out squares.
.
I didn't want actual prizes or money.
So, I made a list of "prizes" that mostly
allowed the winner to make choices.
Choice of activity, choice of chore,
and choice of menu.
.
Turns out the best prize was
me winning complete control of the car radio for the week.
Carly really did not like giving up control of the music.
80's music all week!

every child is an artist
The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

How does that happen?
She asked a few friends to celebrate her birthday
with a fun painting party.
MamMam, G'daddy, Aunt Kacey and Kenny painted too.
It was perfect for a tween party.
The girls had a fabulous time.
Ok, maybe the grown ups had a good time too!
I kinda liked a birthday party with guests old enough to take care of themselves
and someone else responsible for running the party.
My only job was taking pictures.
And I still managed to miss some opportunities!
The girls were so focused.
It was fun to see each of their paintings coming along.
When we scheduled the party, Carly picked an owl to paint.Friday, January 27
2012 = week 4
First, she had her best basketball game of the season.
She scored 13 points and had 13 rebounds!
They won in overtime!
.
Next, Kenny made it home in time
to see her and the rest of her 6th grade basketball team
recognized at half time of the high school girl's game.
.
On Saturday, her fan section grew larger
with the arrival of MamMam, G'daddy, and Aunt Kacey.
Her personal game wasn't as good as Thursday but
the team won!
.
Saturday evening, Carly had her birthday party with a few classmates.
They are growing up so fast.
We had a painting party, and the girls loved it.
It was the perfect tween party!
.
What a pre-birthday week!
