This morning the boys had YMCA basketball practice. Just before leaving for the gym the kids tried to pump up their basketballs. By the time I came to help them two pump inflation pins had broken. When you’re a parent you must stock up on items like this.
During practice little K was on fire at the hoop. At one point I think he swooshed seven in a row! Unfortunately both teams lost their scrimmages. They haven’t yet understood how to “get open” on offense, and how to guard another player on defense. They sure had fun, though!
The afternoon was dedicated to decorating the house for the holidays. Little K helped me a lot with this. H used this time away from his brother to play video games by himself.
One of the things I do to make sure the lights work correctly is spray the fuses in each strand with Corrosion Block. My Dad, Tioga-George, left me this can a few years ago.
We now have two snowmen, and a house that glows with icicle lights!

Tomorrow Tracy and I are taking the kids to see “Nutcracker” in San Francisco. This is supposed to be kind of a kid’s version of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker ballet, complete with a live orchestra. I’m excited! It’s been quite a few years since I’ve seen the Nutcracker.
