Charlie is so excited as it’s March and time for March Madness. In the past Charlie wouldn’t have cared about March Madness but he has been expanding on the Sports he would like to play.
We have been going out in the evening playing Basketball encase Charlie decides to join the Basketball team next year in Middle School. Which is helping both Charlie and I because we are exercising and I will be able to work off some of the weight I have gained.
This weekend I need to run to Half Prize books and pick up some books Charlie has asked for. While there I plan on looking for books about Basketball and to save me time I searched online and found the following books which I thought you might like to check out.
