Basketball

 Kode had another Basketball game the other night! This was a very important game cause his team was playing against one of our neighbors. (this particular little neighbor boy has been egging Kode on and being real mean to him for a few weeks now and when he found out that his team was going to be playing Kodes game he was walking around the neighborhood and school saying that his team was gonna kick Kodes teams butt. One of these days Kode is gonna have enough of this kids mouth and he is gonna give him the what for!) So we were hoping that things were going to favor Kodes team! Anyway it was a great game!

Kode got to be one of the starters on the team that night!

I love it that both coaches are willing to give Kode a little more one on one coaching when he is confused! The coaches are so willing to work with him and take the time to answer his questions as he has them! This has been so good for him! 

 

 at the start of the game the other team had a technical foul.(all the kids have to have pure black shorts on. No color on the shorts what so ever, If anyone on the team does then they automatically get a technical foul) So the ref asked Kode's coach to choose a kid to shoot 2 free throw shots and Kode's coach choose Kode. We were so happy for Kode. He made the first shot and scored a point for his team. Although he missed the second shot. But hey that was great of him to make the first one cause he has never practiced shooting any free throws.

Great Job Kode!

 

 Let the game begin!

 

 Kode played a great game! He was very aggressive!

 

 and he did better at rebounding the ball this game!

 

 concentrating!

 

huddle up!

 

So the final score was:

35 to 16!

Yes Kodes team won the game!

We were so happy for his team. Great Job Lakers!!

 

Needless to say the little neighbor boy has said nothing to Kode about kicking their butt in basketball ever since! All I have to say is "Karma is a BLEEP isn't it!!!

 

Anyway this win puts us that closer to our team being able to go to finals in mid December! We are getting excited!

Baking

 So on Sunday all I did was bake pumpkin muffins for our thanksgiving feast! (they are for the kids and their families at my work) We cook with the children in class but theirs only 1 oven in the center and we are one of 5 other classes and there is only so much time that we have with the children during the day. And to be honest with you its so much easier to do it at home myself and get it done. I had to bake around 200 pumpkin muffins. It was a bit crazy but I did it! Woo-hoo yea for me!!

well here are the supplies that I used!!

 

before the oven

 

then after they came out of the oven!

 

I do have to say that my house smelt very good all day long cause of the muffins!

(It was funny cause Kode kept coming into the kitchen and asking if I was "done yet" and I would always say "no" It felt as though I would never finish!) Anyway, I am done prepping for that feast now I just have to focus on my families feast! 

Homework

 Homework!

An adventure everynight!

 

 

 

 

Bry had assigned homework each night from his teacher. (and lets just say he tries to get away with what ever he can. He has his teacher wrapped around his little fingers. She thinks he walks on the moon!) Well at home mom's not so nice. I make him do it all!

(I know I am such a mean mom. He tells me that all the time) 

 

As far as Kode! He dosen't have homework from his teacher. He has mom work. I have him do a math sheet each night and read to me! He gets so mad at me all the time cause I make him do it but its only going to help him in the long run!

 

Anyway homework is sometimes a pain but its something that needs to be done each night. Its a good habit to get into. School is only going to get harder and harder!
