Baking

Brooke baked sugar cookies today ... and she was kind enough to let Luke help. PLUS, she did her best to refrain from comment when he mangled the dough cutouts, hideously applied frosting and added the "wrong" color sprinkles. That was quite the feat for her!

A LONG Day in Merrillville Indiana

Brooke's team had their second tournament of the season. This one was in Merrilville Indiana (about an hour away). I kind of forgot that Indiana was not quite as covid cautious as we were. So, walking in and seeing everyone without masks was a bit of a shock. Then, we spent seven hours in the facility with all these unmasked people. Sheesh!

Overall it was a poorly run tournament. The girls only played three times, but we were there for 7 hours. It was work sessions and by sessions and games running late. It was exhausting.  But, they played really well and had some chances to bond. While I was both bored and exhausted, they were mostly happy. And forming unity as a team is more important than keeping your parents happy ... right? At least, thats what I told myself.
