The end of a season

Science Fair 2016 was a big success!  Josh and his friend, Aden, did a series of egg dropping experiments to see which would be most successful at keeping an egg from breaking. They started this in October, and made a 34-minute video of their drops.  They were so excited about it on Thursday, Science Fair night. They did every single thing by themselves, zero parental assistance.  (woop whoop!)

Luke's question was "how does the size of the ball affect my shot?" and he found that he made more baskets with a  regular sized ball than with a mini-ball. He did everything himself, I just helped with the graphs. 

Isn't his teacher the cutest? 

Friday between Luke's dismissal and Josh's dismissal we got Luke new shoes. He is truly convinced that he can run faster and jump higher.  I love this age. 

Friday I hung out with my artist friend, Amber, and we painted this.  I did most of it but she made it pretty...that's the trick that I just don't know how to do yet.  Keep trying...

Luke's last basketball game was Saturday.  He played well and it looked like he had a blast. 

Super funny running form.  Love the slack hands. :) 

This must be the intense running form...hustling down the court. 

Fast break Luke. He loves to steal the ball and take it down for a basket. 

He made a bunch of baskets, maybe 4-5, this week. 

Love his form, the kick is really awesome. 

Passing it in.

Another fast break shot

He plays suffocating defense...

Hands up...and he's so tall...hard to shoot over this. 

He likes playing, which is fun to watch!

His hacking defense...wasn't going to let that guy score untouched. 

Mike calls them the Twin Towers.  Rogan and Luke are both in 1st grade and both great players. 

Again with the hands up-suffocating defense.

This is subtle, but I love his right hand down to where the guy is looking to pass...you can't teach that. :) 

End of game huddle, love the little boys in a group.

Luke was nearly more excited about the cookie than the game. 

Goofball

Luke was asked to smile and show his cookie, so this is what we got.
