At the end of what is often a long day of taking care of the kids, cooking, cleaning, etc. it's so nice to do something different. Lately that has been playing basketball. I'm playing on a rec league with girls from our ward and a neighboring ward. Sometimes the games don't start till like 9:15 and when your kids wake up at 6 and there are some feedings in the night, 9:15 feels real late. But it's always so worth it---I have a blast and it's great exercise. I seem to be on the floor a lot though and have acquired some lovely bruised knees and elbows. Very ladylike.
And back on the subject of doing something I enjoy after the kids go to sleep...I really like to make things. It seems that I only finish one project every other month or so, but it's just nice to be working on something. Here is a little "bouquet" I made for Natalie's room.
She likes it.

don't most people play basketball on their feet? how are you getting all those bruises?
also, those flowers are adorable. what are they made out of? i don't think i knew that you were the crafty type!
wow on both the legs and the flowers! pretty impressive jess! I think you should do a tutorial on your blog showing how your flowers are made.
Oh my gosh! Those are some serious bruises! my knees don't look quite like that . . . I guess that means I need to hussle more:) And the flowers are too cute!
Good for you Jess, I walk the mall, but rarely get injured, I must be exceptionally coordinated...Cute little flowers, how did you make them, and what did you make them out of?
hmmmmmmmmm....i'm beginning to think you may need to teach some classes soon...craft nite...etc. thanks for showing everyone just how crafty you really are! i feel like i tell everyone, but you never fess up to it, so thank you very much! those bruises look sweet..only a very aggressive, acrobatic athlete could acquire such color on their knees. it's a sign of greatness!:)
Wow, you play some rough b-ball!
Okay so your knees are out of control. I can't believe how bruised they are. I wish I was there and could go to one of your games... What a good time!
Rach and I really enjoyed your little flower pot thing, very cute!
So my knees look about the same after these last two weeks! We have played against some pretty rough girls! We need to toughen up I guess!
