Saving Mom’s Sanity

All four of our kids play basketball each winter.

Basketball season is loooooooooong.

Thankfully, basketball season for three of them is finished and we now only need to attend Will’s games.
Game1

Weslea loves to attend Will’s games for the social aspects (ie. she can hang out with her friends and run over to the snack bar 342 times.)

Wyatt and Weston hate to attend his games.  And I mean they hate it with a capital “H.”

Most Sundays find them begging me to stay home with them…and sometimes we’ll do just that.

On other Sundays, I pull out the “Save-Mom’s-Sanity” weapon.
Game3

Man alive, do I ever love the i-Touch!  Best device ever invented.

In my very humble (and relieved) opinion, of course.

You got to do what you got to do...sometimes even a calculator will entertain my 5 year old!

I'm sooooooo mad!! My son already broke his! Don't let your kids charge their own iPod. I had no idea those tiny prongs could bend. That's what happens when the kids cram the charger inside. Whaaaaaa!

Amen sister! The iTouch has been our life saver so many many times

Oh! I just pulled it out at a award's banquet the other night too and my little guy lasted over an hour and half sitting in a little tiny chair with 50 adults. So quiet except to yell yes when he won the race. God love him! and the itouch!

I'm Old.
My son had a whole bag of toys that were reserved for sports events. I had bags for lunch with Mom's friends, for visiting Grandma and Grandpa in Canada, for visiting friends without young children...I had a lot of bags. An Ipod would have come in real handy.
