The New Basketball Goal

While John was at Academy (with the boys), he was supposed to get ammunition for our new guns. How he ended up in the basketball department I will never know. Somehow the 3 year old talked him into getting a new basketball goal. That's right, a new one. We have one, but it is ridiculously high. I mean high like probably regulation height, which is too tall for any of us under 6 foot. So John fell prey to the 3 year old's pining and bought a new goal that had him spreading out tools for a few hours trying to put it together just right. Luke could not wait. He was silly excited about this goal, because he knew he could be a SUPERSTAR!!

Let me tell you, he is! He can shoot that basketball 10 times and he makes it 8 or more times. He is really good. Most of the time it is all net, he does not even use the backboard, he just swishes it in! He does not like to play with Cooper, because all Cooper does is block his shots. I think Cooper knows that if Luke fires off a shot, he'll get it in. Therefore, Cooper does not let him shoot. He can kind of be a not-so-nice big brother sometimes...but we are working on it. Until then, I am teaching Luke some defensive moves!
