Money Money Money Money! Money!

Sing the title to the tune of the O'Jay's infamous song.

The Mini Me's got their first checks of the summer!

One had already been to the bank.  Wonder how much he has left after the weekend?

Just Checking In

Needed to be quiet for a while.  I've been checking in on all my favorite blogs and trying to smile a bit more.
I'm also trying to appreciate how strong and fabulous I really am, and take more pictures of myself.  I am very critical of me and thus, camera shy.  My Mini-Me's, however, are not!
Enjoy!  I'll be back as soon as I can.

Flawless Friday

My face immediately lit up when I saw this.
Can you think of anything more perfect than the mother-daughter bond?
Ok. Besides mother-son?
This could be my daughter and I (if only I'd take a picture). 
Have a great weekend.

SMASHERS 2010 MLGBA CHAMPS!!!!

My daughter, Mini-Me, played Middle School League Basketball this season.  I posted here when they won the game that took them to the Final Four.  I forgot to update you on how they did.  The Smashers in a nail-biter won their game, and on Thursday, the 25th of March, they beat the hard fighting team led by Coach Gladstone (don't know the team's nickname-forgive me) to win the championship for the Main Line Girls Basketball Association (MLGBA) (in their age group-of course)!

Mini-Me didn't do it alone.  Although she's the only one pictured here (didn't want to post all the girls without permission), she played with an incredible group of girls.  They "jelled" early in the season and didn't look back.  I credit that to Coach Steve, and Coach Eric who managed to take girls of different skill levels and utilized their strengths to create a team that not only won, but more importantly, had a lot of fun.

We (the fabulous and sometimes obnoxious parents) all looked forward to Saturday/Sunday afternoons when the Smashers played ball.  The girls never gave up even when they were getting pummeled, and they ALWAYS displayed great teamwork and even greater sportsmanship.  I think this experience has served them well, but will stay with them as they really start forging bonds of friendship and not the middle school "cliques" that we as women know all too well!!!!!

Good job and congratulations ladies!

Go Smashers!

It's still March Madness in Philadelphia.  Temple and Villanova went down, but the Smashers Girls Team is still alive!  After a nail biter this weekend, the Final Four is set, and my mini-me is on one of the teams.  Check her out!
GO SMASHERS!!!!
