Basketball, painting, board games

A sunny Spring break Monday was a day of mostly basketball, with a little outdoor painting and board games, too. Parker, Auna and Rielee have been playing basketball at our hoop since they can lower it and slam dunk and it bends, Parker says, like the ones in the NBA. He got to sit in front row seats at last night's Blazers game so he was full of stories about that.
We played "horse" most of the day and ended with a very funny game of basketball, Rielee and I vs. Parker and Auna. Rielee kept telling me to "huddle up" for pep talks, she was frustrated that we weren't winning.
Rielee wanted to paint today so we set her easel up outside. She loves to paint but gets frustrated when she tries to paint animals and they don't look quite right. Actually, I think she enjoys getting all the paint ready and mixing the colors more than the actual painting. We had about 30 minutes of prep time for 15 minutes of painting.
