The Hockey Rink and Basketball

John's backyard rink is well underway!

Liam at his basketball game with the Blackhawk team spirit award from hockey.  We have the award for a week and needed a picture with him somewhere.  

Aiden's final basketball game!  Fun group of 1st grade boys!

Finn was exhausted after a super long day of hockey and basketball

Luke and Liam's latest hobby...Domino building

We had our first snow this week.  It was a wet and messy 3 inches.

Luke and Liam's basketball game.  This was my first chance to see them play and both have really improved this year.  We started in first grade (Aiden's age) and they can finally dribble down the court.

It's that time of year again in Minnesota....And by that, I am referring to John's hockey rink.  We brought the boards for the rink home from the storage facility a couple weeks ago and John has started building the rink.  Finn keeps asking when he's going to bring in the "ice."  It won't be long with temps dipping into the teens and snow in the forecast.

We had a busy weekend of basketball and hockey.  The big boys are all enjoying basketball, but having basketball and hockey overlap is a lot of schedules to handle.  We started our morning on Saturday with hockey for Luke and Liam at 7:50 am and ended the day with a college hockey game with Aiden's hockey team.  In between, Luke and Liam had two basketball games and Aiden had hockey practice as well as his final basketball game.  Finn attended about 50% of the events, but he (and I ) were exhausted by the end of the day.
