hopscotch

Last week we ate supper with my dad and cooked him his favorite spaghetti sauce for a spaghetti dinner.  K is all about noodles & sauce right now, while T is more of a noodles and Parmesan cheese kind of guy.  The dinner was good, but the company was even better.  T has had a bit of a hard time going to my parents' home and trying to understand how Nana's car could be there, but she wasn't. We are all missing my mom, but T really is. It was neat to chat with Emma and my dad and to hear what they've been up to while my mom is gone. K & T always enjoy playing with the toys at Nana & Papa's house too, they have a fun closet full of goodies, with the newest addition being a toy pirate ship that T loved this particular evening.

After dinner, my dad showed us a little project he had worked on recently.  He repainted the hopscotch that he had originally painted in his garage for Emma & Spencer, for the grand kids to use.  K & T were more than happy to break it in.  K remembered the rules from Pico that she had played at the butterfly show and was ready to play right off.  K & T had a blast playing hopscotch and probably burned off their entire dinner with all of the jumping they did!


What a great way to recognize numbers!
She caught some air!
Auntie Em looked on and made sure we were all playing by the rules.

Looks like more of a shuffle T, but I suppose you can do what you want on home base.
K gives 100% in everything, you can see that here.
He's not trying to break the rule of one foot in the square, he's really trying to hop!
A quick picture of the group to show Nana that we were together.  :)
It's so much fun to watch K & T learn, and play.  They are growing smarter, and smarter every day!  Thanks for a grand evening Papa!
