{31 Days} When You Just Need a Break!
I want to preface the following post by apologizing on not being here the full 31 days - since I didn't post Friday or Saturday this week! An interesting thing happened this week - I hit a wall. While I had posts written for the past couple of days, I didn't publish them for whatever reason. They may come up later in the series, they may not ever see the light of day.

To Be In the House or Out of the House – That is the Question!
Emma and Jack are both playing basketball this year. It is Jack’s first year playing a sport; he seems to like it OK, but not as much as Emma. Emma loves to play sports. I think it is more because she loves the social time with her friends, but she also enjoys running around as well. Emma started playing sports when she was 5.
