Monkey Kick-Off

We are still getting the carpet installed in the basement (day 3). Typically, when Obed takes his morning nap, Ezra, Asher and I either go outside or go downstairs so Obed can have a bit of peace and quiet in which to rest. Today, it's rainy outside and the carpet guy is still working, so we are trying to find quiet activities inside to keep the boys interested. We watched a bit of PBS, and then moved on to Monkey Kick-Off. Vince's "personal best" is 5007 meters. Mine, not so good. Apparently I'm about as good at Monkey Kick-Off as I am at bowling. I also seem to have passed my giftedness in Monkey Kick-Off to the boys... Asher kicked one 39 meters, Ezra averaged about 102 meters. You try it... it's harder than it looks - and maybe just a little addictive.

** UPDATE **

Last night Vince was playing Monkey Kick-Off with the boys while I was getting supper together. It seems that my mad skills in Monkey Kick-Off have actually earned their own classification... any time either boy had a bad kick, they'd say, "oh, that was a mommy kick."
