Well then let me tell you about the new one that is over there, I am a guest this month for Designs by Sine. What do you mean, "Who is Sine?" She is the goddess of template designers. She has the most amazing fresh templates available, and I must say I love them!!!

SO I used one of her template sets, SO Reviewed and made a layout featuring my most favorite basketball player, yep, you got it, I scrapped a layout of Kira!

The Story of Kira and the Hats

The definition of Hat, according to Websters Dictionary is a covering for the head usually having a shaped crown and brim; a distinctive head covering.

These hats have been hidden in a closet since July. Kira's mom bought them when we were vacationing in Alaska! If your daughter were going away to play basketball for the Oakland University Golden Grizzlies and you found a hat that looked like a bear, you would buy it wouldn't you??? Would you buy 4 of them??? We love the hats! We had so much fun at the store looking for the perfect ones. The eyes had to look just right, and the tongue had to be sticking out the right way. I have to admit, at the time, I imagined the heads under the hats to be Kira's mom, her step-dad, and 2 of her 3 siblings. I found out that her mom imagined the heads under the hats to be the 3 siblings and step-dad! LOL Of course the mom knows the daughter very well, she knew the daughter was going to be mad! (that is the polite word!) So, let me repeat, we love the hats! We, 4 adults (Mom, Step-dad, and 2 family friends and NO siblings!) proudly wore them to the game Friday night to cheer on our girl. Mom was right, Kira didn't like them, in fact Kira hated them. If a look could send a hat up in flames, all of our heads would have been on fire!!! Next time, when more family can attend a game, we are going to encourage grandpa and her 3 siblings to wear the hats to see if Kira is more embracing of them!!! So I leave you a picture of us in the hats!

Grizzles Win!

And she got to play! Go Kira!!
