We used Labor Day to work on the swingset, which is an ongoing project. The canvas, which was already torn, was completely destroyed by a tropical storm a couple of years ago. We talked about replacing it, but since it was an odd size, we never did. Recently we decided to buy whatever size they had at Lowes and make it fit.
I got a lot of staining done. There are a few "hidden" places that still need stain. It's a darker color than I had envisioned, but it looks much better than it did.
Trying to figure out the sippy cup.
I lowered Annie's mattress so that she can't fall out of the bed and it was a DISASTER. Now she can see Mollie. The first night she cried and cried and cried. Finally about 10 p.m. John suggested we hang something on her bed to block her view. It isn't pretty, but this king-sized sheet wrapped around her bed works.
Watching one of the new tigers being trained at the zoo on Friday.
Ben had his first flag football game this morning. Pre-game huddle. Ben is to the right of the coach so you can't see his face in this picture. Ben is #18.
There are four 5-6 year old teams -- white, red, blue, and gray. There are six games. They play each team twice.
First play. They take turns playing different positions. Ben started out as the snapper.
As the snapper, you hand the ball to the quarterback.
They play on the middle school football field (the old high school field before the new stadium was built a few years ago). The field is divided into four parts. There are two games going on at the same time each playing on 1/4 of the field. There is no kick off. The offense starts at the 40 yard line and runs toward the goal line. If the team scores, they attempt a two-point conversion (no field goals or kicking extra points).
Defense.
Ben's turn as quarterback.
Ben handed the ball off to Tice, who scored a touchdown.
Ben snapping the ball. Ben's team won 36-24. Ben ran the ball on the very last play but I had already put my camera in my bag. He had a lot of fun.
