Sports!

We went to TKD last night (Jacob was thrilled since he hasn't been since Monday) and found out that Master Dave had changed the schedule...effective next Monday. He's shortened the classes to 45 minutes but has changed the classes so that the kids can stay for two (90 minutes total) if they want to. He also added a Saturday class for them. Doubtful that we'll be making that one but they will probably want to do an extra class a week. The biggest change is the addition of two more adult classes TKD (great for Mike) and two more Jiu Jitsu classes. I'm excited because I can do my class four times a week. This schedule will also allow for a little more flexibility during the school year, which is always a good thing.

While sitting at TKD last night, Tammy (another mom there) says to me, "hey Barb, I signed Evan up for fall football. They have more sign up dates coming up if you want to sign Daniel up too." Ugh. After a little discussion, Mike and I decided to let Daniel try football. I don't hold much hope for it since almost every sport he's tried, he's hated. Baseball, soccer, basketball...all flops. I just hope this season isn't as miserable as baseball season was. Daniel's incredibly excited. I do have to say that this is the first sport he's asked to play. Who knows...maybe he's the next Peyton Manning! LOL!

Hannah keeps asking when she gets to play softball. I really think she's going to be my little jock. She wants to do it all. Soccer, gymnastics, softball, basketball, TKD. She's even mentioned tennis. I'd love to see her play soccer (yep...I'd be playing vicariously through her!) but the soccer season's so strange that there is no other sport season it doesn't overlap with. I may be crazy but I'm not insane!!! LOL!

Oh, I forgot to mention that in second grade, they start tackle football.

Super Bowl Day

My house is a big sports house, thanks to Mike. If it's a sport, he'll watch it. Baseball, basketball, football, the X Games...lately, I've caught him watching bull riding (not that it's a bad thing, unfortunately, I don't know any of the riders anymore! LOL!). Needless to say, Super Bowl day has always been big here. This year, it's even bigger since the Bears are in it. What makes it even bigger is that the Bears are playing the Indianapolis Colts...the favorite team of my sister-in-law's family (fitting since they live in Indy). There's a lot riding on this game...bragging rights for a year is a huge thing!

Personally, I'm not a huge football fan. I'll take baseball or basketball over football anyday of the week, so I'll be watching the game for the commercials. Love Super Bowl commercials!

Speaking of basketball, what has happened to Bradley this year? They started out so strong and now they're tanking. At least they won last night. That's a good thing, but they're in the middle of the MVC standings and imagine my life right now with Southern Illinois being in first place (for those of you that don't know...Mike's a Southern alum). Mike is quick to remind me that I was in his face about Bradley being 5-0 in the beginning of the season...yeah, I guess I'm a poor winner. Bradley's next game is against Southern...Heaven help me if Bradley loses! LOL! What's nice is we actually get MVC coverage here since there are a couple of schools nearby (Drake, Creighton, Missouri State, Wichita State). I just want my team to kick some ass!!!!!! LOL!
