* Well, I survived the first week back to school after being sick! I slept A LOT this week - like 7:30 p.m. bedtimes. This is completely opposite to Phil, who was too nervous about basketball playoffs to sleep this week!
* Speaking about basketball playoffs, Phil's team won the semi-final game on Wednesday night and came SO CLOSE to winning the finals yesterday evening. They lost by 4 points to a team that has won the championship for years! Ah - it was quite the game to watch! Next year first place is THEIRS :) Way to go, Phil!!!! You are a FANTASTIC COACH and we are so proud of you and your team!!! xo
* In other basketball news, Phil and Steve are hoping to score some professional development funds to attend a coaching clinic in Athens this April. I am going to urge Phil to go anyways because I think the opportunity is a good one. Flights to Athens are cheap and there are some big name people presenting that weekend. Plus.....PD for PE is hard to come by! Especially over here. I say he goes for it - reimbursement or not!
* Last night we had pizza for dinner with the Huffho's, Emily and Steve. The Hussain's opted for some Kuwaiti food and brought over their dinner to eat with us. I think it made the basketball loss a little easier to handle (you know how much Phil loves PIZZA)! Sophia also made a SPECTACULAR cake that was all kinds of colours! It was a piece of art and she let Phil have TWO PIECES! Needless to say, good company and yummy food seemed to keep him in good spirits :)
* My kids were pretty awesome this week. I really missed them while I was away and I think the feeling was mutual :) I love their innocence and sense of fun. I love their enthusiasm and resilience. If only I could remember this during moments of frustration.....haha.
* Tonight we are going to the Kuwait Little Theatre to watch a musical produced by our friend Kristen. We have heard great reviews from colleagues that attended earlier this week and I can't wait to see it first hand. I picture it as one big sing along :)
* Did Ben REALLY keep Courtney on The Bachelor this week? Does he REALLY want to meet her family? Is he being paid EXTRA to carry her through? ICK. Next week's episode is sure to be a great one. We're still rooting for Kacie B. in this household!
* Survivor began this week! When Phil wakes up this morning, I hope to have it all ready to go on my computer. After that, I'm not really sure what to do in order to ease his playoff sorrows. Pizza, Survivor........maybe a can of Pringles is next on the agenda? Ohhhhh I hope I can distract him from his feelings today!
Happy FAMILY DAY weekend to all of you back home! We are looking forward to all of the fun things we'll get to do together this summer! Until then, have lots of Canadian fun for us :)
