Basketball and Consequences that Follow

Sadie has been playing in some basketball games this year. During the half-time of the JV and Varsity games at the schooll, they let the little kids play a game to help them get acquainted with the game. Leadore doesn't have much for sports to offer, just mostly basketball. It's fun to watch how they learn the game rules and grow from trying to dribble and shoot the ball. We take the whole family to the school and watch Sadie play, we don't get out much.
This particular night, Lexi found some friends of hers to go play with while Sadie was playing ball. I told Lexi she could go out in the hallway with her two friends (there was an older cousin out there watching them). Enjoying taking pictures and watching Sadie, out of the corner of my eye I saw the older cousin come running into the gym, a little panicked. She stopped right in front of me rushing to get out that Lexi had blood running all over her. I handed Haylee off to Cory and ran to investigate. She was really bloody, but it was a nose and mouth wound. Lexi and her friend were chasing each other and one decided to stop the chase, the other failed to notice until she slammed in to a still shoulder. Just an accident but Lexi was pretty upset over the deal. I got her home, changed her bloody shirt and then took the pictures. Her two front teeth were loose, her nose swollen, mouth swollen and the makings of a pretty good black eye turning colors, but she still smiled for the camera! What a trooper!

Sadie had yet to learn sometimes you need to move around a bit on the court but she still did a good job and even got to take a shot!
