Work

I TRY to do a bit of work with Link three to four days a week.  We have our own little station set up.  For the most part, I let him lead how we work each day.  Some days, he is really into his numbers and wants to put stickers on the calendar and count and write his numbers.  Other days, he loves "reading" and we work on his letters and a bit of phonics.  This boy has really, really, really good handwriting.  I have no clue where he got it.  Nate and I do not!
I will be the first to admit that I am not a stay-at-home mom.  However, I think Link and I are doing a pretty good job and getting this fella ready for Kindergarten next year!

Last day

 

We didn't do a whole lot this week so we packed it all in today!  Ethan was off of school for unused weather.  We started the day off at the zoo.

The animals were out and active today (my animals and the zoo animals)!

This is an eagle that the zoo lady brought out to get some outside time!

After the zoo, we went to lunch at "Hot Chilis,"  went to see the Lorax, and then had dinner at Jason's Deli.  Marilyn leaves in the morning and I am going to have some sad boys!  

Sour seeds

Nate loves sunflower seeds.  We usually always have a bag around the house.  As Nate was eating them outside yesterday, Link said, "Hey pass me the sour seeds."  

I think he likes the sour seeds.

Earning his keep

The weather was gorgeous tonight.  We sat out front while Lincoln rode his bike and Ethan tried to make some money by charging people to dribble his balls.  

The Itinerary

Link told me yesterday that he had a few things that he wanted to do with Mar FIRST THING!  First, he said, "I want to do this to her."  Then, he head butted me in the leg.  Not sure what the heck that was about.  Then he said he wanted to cover her with pillows and take a picture of her with his DS.  He did this to her last visit and she screamed and screamed which meant he laughed and laughed!  This morning he had his Toy Story Wii game all ready for her! 

Baseball Practice

Ethan had his first baseball practice yesterday.  His team was able to practice at his coach's church.  The very best part of being able to practice at his church is that we can sit right in our car and watch the whole practice.  In fact, ALL the parents can sit in their car and watch practice.

Which explains why my pictures are blurry.  Maybe Thursday will be warmer and I might get out of my car to get a better picture.....maybe.

Auburn Basketball

 Our friends, the Blaus, invited us to go to Auburn this weekend for their last basketball game of the season.

 Ethan was LITERALLY on the edge of his seat the entire game!  It was so fun watching his excitement.

 At one point, Nate pulled him over to explain a few things in the game.  

 And then....I grabbed him for a photo opportunity.

 They WON and he was soooo happy!

 David and Andrea took us for a walk through the campus.

We ended up at an old pharmacy that sells ice cream and lemonade.  We all shared a few lemonades and then headed home.  The fellas were so happy to spend the day with their friend, Aaron.  I am so glad that we were able to make it to a game this year while we are here!
