Some place nice to get stuck in....

Summer days

can sometimes find children feeling bored.  Go figure.   Here, the girls found something fun to do and even I got into it for a minute or two!  (no picture shared there  )   It is one of those Skip-It's  that you put around your ankle then swing it around your opposite leg.   Tuckers you out fast!



 



 


I was never bored thought.   About a dozen sheets of cookies baked, dinner in the oven, windows washed,  laundry put out....then later in the day we found ourselves quite busy putting up another 200+ bales of hay.


Farm life....about 8:00 we found ourselves actually having dinner.  Now that is a full day!

They had those things when I was young.... WAY BACK WHEN. I am glad they found something to do that keeps them in shape!!

The best part of their new activity is that it is outside! Any excuse to be outside more ~ even when it's hot ~ is welcome to me. We all love to be outside.


I used to love those things when I was a girl! My Mom used to teach me to make *makeshift* ones with rope and a duct tape ball at the end. This brings back memories!


Blessings,

Ow! A duct tape ball! That would hurt unless you were really good!
