Our Weekend

Friday night, Adam put together the snacks for his game the next day. Each player was assigned a week to bring treats. Adam picked goldfish crackers, yogurt covered raisins, and mini bottles of water.

Adam watched the whole game. He kept me updated on the score and cheered loudly when Rob’s team made a basket. He also yelled at the players when they missed shots. It was pretty fantastic to see him so interested in the game.

Saturday morning, the boys had a workshop at Lowe’s.

Adam built his almost entirely on his own. I didn’t even need to start the nails for him this time. He had me take out two nails, when he realized he made mistakes, but other than that, he did all the work. I did get to help with a couple of the stickers when it came time to decorate the truck, but that was as much as I was allowed to do.

I’m so proud of how well he does with these workshops. He really does a great job following the instructions and using the hammer.

Luke is on track to follow in Adam’s footsteps too. I start the nails, let him hammer them in as far as he can, and then normally just give them a final tap (to be sure they won’t scratch him or snag on his clothes later).

They were both so proud of their trucks and spent a lot of time playing with them over the weekend.

After the building workshop, we had just enough time for lunch before Adam’s final basketball game of the season.

He played really well and does a great job communicating with his teammates and listening to the coach while he’s on the court.

Saturday evening it snowed, and so we woke up to a full driveway on Sunday. And, in case you’re wondering, it takes about an hour and a half to shovel off our driveway.

The weather cleared up enough for us to go to Adam’s basketball trophy ceremony in the afternoon though.

They had a magician and all sort of fun things set up for the kids.

I’ll leave you with a picture of Princess Sassy Pants (since I just realized I don’t have any pictures of her in this post).
