Yesterday we watched football Bowl games on TV. We also went into the backyard and threw around my new football as a family. I also brought out about 6 firecracker thingies to light up. I did 2 separately, then later hubby doubled the remainder and lit them up, that’s twisting two sets together –by the fuse, and lighting for a double banging. [He did one double, then after that the last double.]<\/p>\n
We hadn’t thrown a ball around as a family for a long time, since our other balls have been chewed up by the dog. This new football is being kept in the house and not allowed to be left anywhere the dog will have access to it. The children are much older now, compared to when we last did have a football. Our eldest, boy, 10, needs to work on things a lot, our middle, girl, 8 is a bit more natural and showed vast improvement with the little we did yesterday. Our youngest, boy, 6, is a natural but still very young, so not able to throw far and all that.<\/p>\n
One thing hubby and I did was some drop kicks, and I was pleased to find I did great with that once I found the spot on my boots that I was wearing to actually kick with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
