"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Hop-Scotch

Grandma sent hoppy taws for Lucky Lilacs.  It was so rainy on Saturday that we didn't get to play until Monday.  M thought I made a huge mistake when I used our chalk to draw the hop-scotch's instead of the chalk Grandma sent.  And, actually, I did draw both hop-scotch's wrong.  Talent, I tell you.  The girls had a lot of fun.  I didn't think they would get it, but E definitely did and M enjoyed jumping.  GQ kept drawing in their hop-scotch's - which only made them mad.  Pretty funny though.

So cute, and so fun! I thought I was the only one who'd ever heard of a hoppy taw :) I especially like the picture of your little boy driving around on a princess-mobile...

Wow, your kids get some serious air when they jump. I'm impressed.
