The End of a Season

Basketball season has officially come to an end for Muskie Man's school. We enjoyed many games on cold winter evenings. Minnow had fun dancing to the band, giving "knucks" to the kids, and high-fiving the Tiger mascot. The girls team provided us with an exciting season, going 21-0 until losing a heartbreaker last Thursday by 2 points.


On Friday Minnow and I spent the day watching my niece play in a basketball tournament, she's in sixth grade so the quality of basketball was down a little from the previous night. On our way home we drove through the service drive of Muskie Man's school en route to pick up our babysitter who was so generously "playing" with Minnow that night--for free. (thanks, K!) Minnow saw the school and exclaimed, "Go, go!" from the back seat and then proceeded to growl like a Tiger. She thought we were going to a game. I continued past the school and she started to cry--big tears. She is sad the season has come to an end. We'll just have to wait for the snow to melt--then come softball, baseball, soccer and track events.


Minnow was all decked out for the game, ready to cheer on her Tigers:

Basketball games and knucks

That has been our life lately--basketball games and knucks. Knucks is Minnow's new favorite thing--she holds her fist out for a knuck or fist bump from someone. The kids at Muskie Man's school think it's hilarious and Minnow doesn't leave anyone out. She gives knucks to everyone. Some friends "borrowed" her for a few minutes at one game and had her sit with them in the bleachers. I looked up to see her and sure enough, she was giving everyone around her knucks.

We have been to a few basketball games recently and Minnow starts out watching the action. She even did her 3-point signal at the last game. She cheers along and watches the game--for a while, then she just wants to go and run in the halls. She sees alot of people while running the halls and has become quite the popular little girl--all the kids know her, say hi to her, and of course, get knucks from her!
