Cartooning and Basketball Party!

Today was a big day for Colin.  After school he had his first of 3 cartooning classes.  This is an after school enrichment class.  He chose cartooning which we thought was great since he loves to draw.  Today, he was supposed to make an animated TV.  He had a lot of fun, but the first thing he said when he got in the car was, "It is a good thing I didn't sign up for French.".  When I asked why he said, "because they didn't do ANYTHING fun, at all, they just learned French."

After that we picked up Evan from preschool and went to Colin's basketball coach's house for their end of season party.  His coach has a great backyard with a zip line, football goal, basketball hoop, trampoline and swing set.  The kids had fun playing a game of football and running around.  I was nervous about having to go to a party with all three kids without Dennis' help (he is in Indy until Friday night), but it went real well.  I was most nervous about Logan and if he was going to be fussy in the evening.  He did get a bit fussy but overall he hung in there pretty good.  Colin fell playing football and now has a big bruise on his cheekbone, great timing with picture day on Thursday!

Both coaches separately made a comment to me that they bet Colin is good at soccer, since he has so much speed and coordination and height is not as much a factor in soccer.  His coach said that Colin's basketball team was the best defensive team in the league that season and Colin was pretty much the reason for that.  Anyway, it was good season and a good coach.  And probably the best after season party we have had thus far.  My Mississippi Mud Cake was a HUGE hit, I will have to make that more often.

On another note, I took Logan for his followup doctors appointment and his ears are clear so that was great news!
