Cloudy with a chance of basketball

 

I know- weird title.  But.   My mind is on the movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and also on basketball.   Random.

Todd’s gone for about four days so the kids and I had our own hang out day yesterday.  Since the time changed it was a looong day that never seemed to end.

We went and saw the aforementioned movie.  I really enjoyed it.  Jack loved it and Ri could have cared less.  She was actually quite a bit obnoxious during the movie but we were able to finish it.

The movie centered around the central theme of what happens when you have too much greed.  (In a nutshell).  I tried to talk to Jack about this and I think he almost got it.  And then- by chance- we read The Lorax by Dr. Suess today, which also has a theme of greed.  Another opportunity for me to chat w/ Jack about greediness.

It was weird.  Such a big conversation- twice in one day- with my first born. 

I hope he ‘gets it.’  And remembers it.

On another note- we signed Jack up for basketball.  It’s pretty basic and mostly about the fundamentals ( I hope at least).  He’s been playing quite a bit in the driveway so we’ll see how he does.  Little does he know that the goal will probably be a bit higher and the ball a bit bigger.  I hope he enjoys it. 

Here’s some recent pics of Jack practicing.
