Upon hearing that we were going to see
the Harlem GlobeTrotters, Christian did his usual hemming and hawing about
not wanting to go. A few days later he started telling me about Amelia
Earhart and how she died on her trip around the world. I obviously
didn't make the connection, she was a globetrotter! Christian thought
we were going to see someone who had gone around the world! I assumed
they had seen the commercials and new we were going to a basketball game.
Luckily, before we went I realized what he was saying and explained
who the Globetrotters were that we were going to see. He was more
interested in this idea, but still didn't want to go. He went anyway.
We had the best seats we've ever had.
We got the 2nd row off the court, so the kids could see everything
up close. Once the game started Christian was still reserved, but
he laughed at most of the jokes and the globetrotter's antics. They
got to see how tall Tiny (7'8") was compared to them and how small
Too Tall (5'2") was and laughed at how the names didn't apply. During
the game, they got to interact with Flight Time a bit. Special K
and Flight Time were fighting over the water right in front of us (between
the first row and ours). They fought a bit over the water and bumped
some out of the cup right onto us. Christian got the worst of it,
but wasn't mad about it at all. He laughed the hardest though when
Flight Time sat down next to Tori (as you can see here - If you look at it as an image download, you can see it best.). He thought
that was the funniest thing of all. I'm sure he was wondering why
a player was sitting next to them in the stands.
While he sometimes lost track of the
game and asked why I was laughing (it was hard to see some of the antics
being down so low). It was difficult to understand some of Special
K's jokes because of the sound system being poor. He had a great
time overall. He's been telling stories about the Globetrotters for
2 days now. Even though he had a great time when asked if he wanted
to see them again, his reply was his usual "NO!". He's
nothing if not consistent with his answer to those kinds of questions.
But, he was intrigued by going again because he asked me later if
they did the same tricks at other games. He'll have to go to another
game to find out.

Back In the Groove
The kids returned to school yesterday, and surprisingly, it was a
smooth transition. Neither was looking forward to it, but they went
without fuss. I thought for sure that Tori would shed some tears at
before-care, but she didn’t. Miss Lynn at the program got married and is
working the mornings only now. Miss Stephanie is now there in the
afternoons and she introduced herself to me yesterday. She seems nice,
and I am sure the kids are going to like her. Whether she does as many
crafts as Miss Lynn remains to be seen, however!

Christmas Recovery
The kids had three Christmases, their rooms are full and they are
settling in for the last few days off from school. Christian is having a
great time at home with Grandma—the whole house to himself. Tori and
Eli have been going to Sharon’s so they can play with the kids there.
Yesterday, Tori came home in makeup. Apparently, the girls got some
makeup for Christmas and made each other up. Tori was pretty in pink but
washed it off as soon as we got home. She and Eli must have had a
really good time because they sacked out early.
Many thanks to everyone who took time out of their busy lives to see us over the holidays and/or put us up. Sorry for the mess we left behind and thanks again for all of the gifts!
