My post for Wednesday 4-16-08

Today was a perfect day to play outside after school. I carried out the big green bucket of outside play toys. It has everything, jump ropes, bad mitten , plastic balls, bats and baseball gloves, a big colorful nylon parachute with beanbag s to match, frisby's , you name it we probably have it stuffed in that green bucket.
Paige was doing the "Skip it". Back in my day it was called a "Lemon Twist" because mine had a yellow lemon shaped ball on the end of the black ankle loop. This is the one her Aunt Shann got for her the last time we were out to CA. She was a little small for it back then but now she is a pro. Must be all those tap dancing classes.
Megan is our jump rope pro. She could not jump rope at the start of first grade this past fall. But this kid is determined and she practiced at recess with her friend Hannah. Now Megan is a pro and Hannah does not want to challenge her to jump rope contest anymore. Megan can go forward, backward, one foot, crossovers you name it this kid can jump it.
