Scavenger Hunt and Basketball

Ethan is working on higher numbers at school and his teacher suggested doing a scavenger hunt at home for practice. I took some pictures of things we had a lot of around the house and made up a little hunt for Ethan. After we got rid of the light up pen he was using and playing with more than counting, we had a good time. I was surprised at how many pillows we have around the house - 39. That included decorative and bed pillows.
Ethan started Upward basketball and had practice today. He really likes it. There are only 4 kids on his team so he will get a lot of attention and playing time.



There was an old basketball goal lying around the back of the church so Barry said we could take it home for Ethan to practice on. The rim was broken some so we purchased a new backboard for it tonight and a little spray paint on the post and it will look as good as new. Trying our best to be frugal. Thanks to Barry Sr. for finding the goal at church!
Here is a picture of Aubrey just because she is so darn cute! Today she was a fairy and had imaginary wings. I would hold her on her belly and fly her around the house. She loved it! The simple things in life are sometimes the best. She was a happy girl at preschool today because her buddy Trent was there today. Aubrey just loves Trent and Tuesday when I picked her up she told me Trent was not there. Her teacher sadly told us that Trent changed his days and will no longer be coming on Tuesdays. However, he is still there on Thursdays, so Aubrey was very glad to see him. I think she likes him because she can boss him around and he takes it! She loves to say "Trent is my friend." She says it with such a cute southern accent it is just precious. I will try to get it on video and post it.
