fa la la la.......go team go
Rooney decided on a whim last fall that he "really wanted to join the school choir!" After asking him approximately 27 times if he really wanted to do that, I said ok. He loved, loved, loved it at first. Lately, not so much. The Christmas concert last week was met with luke warm enthusiasm. Having to put on a white shirt and black pants was torture for all involved, especially when mean old mom insisted he put a white shirt on under the button up and change to black shoes instead of tennis shoes. Meany!
The concert was fun. It may be our last ever, since Proto and Brick insist there is NO WAY they are ever joining choir, and I have doubts that Rooney will sign up again.
Reb thought it was quite entertaining, clapping madly after every song, and loudly singing (squawking) along during each song.

In other news, we started basketball last week. We had 3 games on Saturday. THREE hours of basketball.
PROTO played well and tried several times to get a basket, but alas, none of his shots actually went in. We bet he'll get it next time.
ROONEY was a man on a mission. At one point, he stole the ball, dribbled the length of the court, got knocked down while making a layup, but still got the basket. He scored 6 of this team's 12 points.
HOOTIS looked like a mosquito playing elephants (profoundly stated by Stick). She held her own, despite some significant size differences. At one point she got the rebound, and was holding the ball tightly at her chest. Two amazon women from the opposing team were trying to take the ball from her. She held on tightly and they actually lifted her OFF THE GROUND, while trying to take the ball.
