3 Teeth

Poor Brandon, he had to have 3 teeth pulled today!

Medieval Faire

Brandon had his Medieval Faire today.  He worked with two of his friends at school.  They decided to be miners.  They have worked really hard to get everything done and it all went great.  They made a mine with a pop up shade thing and cardboard.  They crinkled up aluminum foil and wrapped up pennies, nickels, and dimes.  They hot glued them to the wall.  They even made some pick axes.  Kids could come and mine at their cave.  They wore jeans and t-shirts and covered themselves in mud to look like they had worked in the mine all day.  Here are some pics...

Egg Drop

Ethan had to do a school project due today. You've probably heard of it. It's where Ethan has to build something that will go on or around or with a raw egg. Someone would take it and drop it off of the school roof. The goal is to not have the egg break. At first we tried cutting a nerf football in half, carving out a little spot for the egg, putting the egg inside, and then duct-taping the football back together again. We saw this on a YouTube video and theirs worked perfectly. Well, ours broke on the first try. Then Ali and Becca came up with a great idea. They put the egg inside of a small tupperware container. The egg was surrounded by Styrofoam. They then suspended the container inside of an empty box with rubber bands on each side. The container barely moved, but the rubber bands were absorbing all of the shock. Ethan came home and said it worked perfectly. Good job E-man and moms.

Fun at Becca's

We had a fun night.  We went to Becca's house for dinner.  Stephanie and her family were there as well.  We missed Adam and his family, they had sick kids.  It was fun to get together and visit.  The kids had a great time.

The kids even took turns getting rides with Greg on his new Harley!  All of the kids had a turn, we just didn't get pictures of them all.

End of Soccer Season

I only took a picture of Alex today.  I'll have to take one with all of the kids and post it later.  This is a picture of Alex and his cousin, Cooper.

Header

Ethan had an awesome header in tonight's soccer game.  The other team's goalie had it and kicked it really far with a drop kick.  Ethan was sitting right about at midfield when he saw the ball in the air coming right at him.  He tensed up and leaned forward to head it.  He hit it perfectly with his head and the ball went sailing way back up field.  The fans gave a huge cheer because he did a great job and didn't back away from it.  Right after, he looked around to make sure that we were looking and saw it.  You could tell he was very pleased.
