A big morning in the Maupin household! We have a kinderegartner and a 2nd grader--woo hoo! The boys were in good moods this morning and ready for school.
Here they are modeling their new backpacks that G-ma and G-pa sent them. Notice their names embroidered on them with a basketball/soccer ball. They thought that was pretty cool.
When we got to Drew's room, Jackson turned into a little mother saying "Drew, go to you locker, do this, do that..." He had his hands on Drew's shoulders guiding him all around the room. He was hanging up his backpack for him, pulling out his chair for him...it was like all of the sudden, Drew was incapable of doing anything for himself. Oh, you're probably wondering about the headband that Drew has on. Unfortunately, he had to have another surgery on his ears about a week ago, so he has to wear that headband for a while. Not an ideal way to start school, but he seemed fine with it.
Then, it was off to the second grade wing. Jackson walked with confidence like he owned the school. Walked right into his classroom, hung up his backpack, and sat down at a table with his buddies. Smooth sailing.....
Look who I will be spending my days with!! What fun!
All right...I have to brag! The Mavericks went undefeated this season AND won first place in the end of the season tournament!! It was exciting! Jason was a great coach and Jackson had a great experience. The games were close and the boys really worked together and played hard.
Jason saying some congratulatory words to the boys afterwards....
Then, it was time to celebrate. The team went to Freddy's afterwards for ice cream.
OK, why do boys do such weird things? Notice in the pictures....they are putting salt on their ice cream and daring each other to eat it. They were cracking me up!
Of all the sports, I think basketball is my favorite to watch. It is so fast and exciting and the game can change quickly. I forsee many more basketball games in my future and I'm not complaining :)
