Dave is working or doing papers for school constantly and every day is groundhog day here, so we shook things up tonight by inviting over some friends for a “ball game.” We dragged out balls of all sizes, and all the sticks, swords and other weapons we had for an impromptu party 🙂 I served up hotdogs and all the other food we didn’t get to during the week – pineapple, pretzels, popcorn, salad, edemame… We had a great time! Here are Sam and Mikko-Dakota having a sword fight. Then moms got into it with noodle wrangling – you hook the noodle in a U-shape under the kid’s arms and swing them around. Sam LOVES it and it’s a great workout. Things got knocked over but it was fun – my planter plants are mostly dead anyway and the boys enjoyed sweeping up after the game, just like sweeping under the bleachers at a real ball game…ha ha!
