Book It!

Eric earned his first Book It award from Pizza Hut. He had to read 400 minutes in October. He was very excited to earn it. We went with Nate and Hannah on Monday to celebrate.

Ahhhh....soccer!

We are so glad soccer is back! Eric is loving soccer again this year. This is picture I snapped of him relaxing during a brief break at practice.

Faces of E

Yeah, that last one was new to me. I have never seen that one before.

Park Play Date

We have had some beautiful weather lately. We took advantage of that recently with a fun play date at the park with Lauren.

Bug Catchin Fun

What a beautiful day we had at Pinnacle today. Today was the first homeschool day for this school year, and there was a large turnout.



Eric was desperately trying to catch a yellow butterfly, but it wouldn't land at all for him to even get close. So, he moved on to other bugs. Once he did, he caught 5 bugs - 3 crickets, 1 moth, and 1 dragonfly.



Here is a close up of the time he caught two crickets at once.

Jump, jump, jump

Saturday night we had the pleasure of going to Braden's birthday at Playtime Pizza. We have only been there once, two years ago, but it is a pretty cool place. Eric fell in love with this Jump-rope game and played it all night. The lights would move around faster and faster, and the object was to jump over them as you would a jump-rope. I love that he he had his tongue out the whole time. He always does that when he is really concentrating.

Today's meet

Eric did so good today! He again competed in kickboard, freestyle, and backstroke. They did not time the kickboard (I don't know why), but he was very fast. He did his freestyle in 44.07, which is 4.42 seconds faster than last week. And he completed backstroke! He got a time of 53.40 in backstroke. So very proud of him. He worked very hard in practice this week.
