Now is John's busiest time of the year. He was working on Saturday and so I was going to have to take all four kids to the YMCA for Jack's basketball game. Seriously this thought gives me a stomachache. I used to think the girls were harder to care for as newborns/infants, but I'm not sure anymore. I think they will get easier someday...at least I hope. Taking the three out anywhere is not easy right now since they are not the best stroller babies (why would they be, they really don't ride in one that much), and they LOVE to walk and roam--which isn't good in the snow and also isn't good on a basket-ball court. My mom offered to watch the girls, take Jack to the game or come over in the morning and help me get all of the them to the game. Since the weather was nice, I decided to take all the kids with my mom's help. I figured it would be nice for Jack to have his own little cheerleader section. Speaking of Jack and basketball, he started this league about five weeks ago with no understanding about basketball and he is slowly getting the hang of it. He does really well with the first half which consists of skills practice, but he hasn't quite caught on to the game they play after practice. He is most likely one of the youngest players on his team of four-to-six year-olds considering he just turned four at the end of December. As his first year playing, he is doing pretty well, we think. He is enjoying himself which the most important thing.
See how small he is compared to some of the kids? He is standing next to the really tall girl with her hands up in the blue shorts.
The coach let Jack dribble the ball up the court (which consisted of him dribbling it a few times and it getting away from him and his teammate recovering the ball. The referee made her give the ball back to Jack). Jack then did this pass to his teammate after considerable coaxing from his coach (the ball is blurry).

Thank-goodness for Moms :)
