Basketball

Like I said last week, Ben and Tessa are currently participating in a basketball program for three to five year olds.  Program is too strong of a word I guess. It's every Wednesday morning for 45 minutes for a month. Ben did the baseball version of this when he was three and I have to say that it's a bit crazy to have three and five year olds together.  The maturity level is completely different and so is the coordination.  But, here they are, as teammates for probably one of the few times in their lives. 

They even stretched before starting!

They played a few playground games before getting started to get the kids in "listening" mode and then they practiced dribbling.  Tessa was a bit clueless about this and there was some travelling going on. 

She pretty much watched Ben the whole time to see what she was supposed to be doing.

She is so tiny!  I'm not sure anyone believed she was three since there were two year old siblings the same size as her watching who were too young to play. 

Later that day we went to the park for the first time this year. 

Milo loved swinging last year and now he's afraid of it.  Ben still wants to ride in the baby swings so I tried to teach him to pump.  You have to know how to swing before you get to elementary school!  Tessa loves it as much as ever. 

Here are a few more OOTD (Outfit of the day for anyone who doesn't follow fashion bloggers on social media...) choices from Tessa.

It's always good to fly a kite in a formal dress over parrot leggings!

Milo and his three pacifiers are still stuck wearing the boring and conventional outfits I pick out.

This one is right up there at the top of the crazy list...wow...
