Do you have a child in your family that has played on sports teams? If you do you know the incredible commitment that it takes to be involved with the team, not only for the player but for the parents as well. There is the financial commitment, because most public schools no longer pay for equipment and there is also the time commitment. My son and daughter play different sports. They are two years apart in age so this means that most times they are on two different fields sometimes in different locations at the same time. This means we take two cars and one of us watches one event and the other stays at the other location. Most times the kids cannot cheer each other on because they are playing at two different areas. Many times the practices and games for the younger children are scheduled to take place in the late afternoons or early evening. For those of us that work we need to take off work to get there on time. It seems like schedules are still arranged for stay at home moms.

Even though it is inconvenient I am glad my children have asked to be involved in the different activities. They learn so much about sportsmanship as well as the different aspects of the sport that they are playing. We take many photographs of the kids in their uniforms and at the games, especially when so often only one of us is able to watch each of them. I wanted to find some nice sports picture frames to display the photos in. I thought it would be a great idea for the kids to watch how they are maturing to have photos of themselves in their room. I found sports picture frames at one department store that were nice; however the picture size was a bit small. As I was looking at the frames another customer mentioned to me that another store in the mall had a bigger selection of sports picture frames. When I went to that store I found several great frames. I bought sports picture frames that had baseballs and footballs on them for my son and I found others with soccer and gymnastics for my daughter. They both are involved in karate and I found matching frames for this that I thought I would display in the living room. As a family we ski, I found a great frame with skis around the frame that I bought in hopes that we can get a family picture on the slopes this year. The photos and frames will be a nice keepsake for the children to have as they age. I am glad that they are keeping busy and keeping fit by being in sports.
