basketball and nasty weather

 Preston had a game yesterday morning in Osage City.  He played so well! 

 I am pleased with Preston's coach who is taking the time to teach them plays, both offensive and defensive, and trying to teach them to be good sports as well.  It is nice to have a good coach.

 Preston got fouled a couple of times.  I had to laugh at his before shot ritual of spinning the ball around his back.  He made both of these shots so I guess it works!

 From Preston's game, we ran and had Jim's birthday lunch at the Pepper Patch in Carbondale, before heading to Quincy's game.  It was good food!  Yes, we were a little late with Jim's birthday celebration!  Poor Jim he is a very patient man!

 Quincy played really well, and I made the comment to Jim that if we were smart we would have the kids run a lot of laps in the gym before heading home since we were under a winter weather warning and most of our Sunday activities were cancelled!  It looks as if we missed out on the 8 inches of snow they were predicting and got about 2 inches of sleet instead.  It is March now, so I say turn on spring and lets put all this winter nonsense behind us.  Colin and Cameron start spring sports practices this week.  If we are practicing baseball and running track, we don't need any more snow or sleet!
