frisbee

Last weekend we headed over to Mee Maw and Goompa's house so that I could clean out the mom van. The quote of the day had to go to Mee Maw when she said, when you give them a snack, "what do they actually get in their mouth?" Bwhhhhhaaa! It was that bad. Our lease is ending this month and we were cleaning it out getting it ready to be hauled away. Bye, bye mini van. Can't say that I'll miss you too much. It was a great car when the kids were really little, but it wasn't "me" and I'm definitely ready to move on. But of course, it wasn't going to go without a fight. After we spent all afternoon cleaning it out, the sucker wouldn't start. Kind of a final F you to us I guess. Fortunately all it needed was a jump, but I have a feeling a bill for a new battery is going to be coming my way from the leasing company. Hopefully that's all I'll be charged for! At least we were able to remove the thick layer of half eaten snacks that was all over the floor.

While taking a break from cleaning (I really mean while the ladies were cleaning this is what the men were doing), the fam started a game of frisbee. Little J is a natural. I'm shocked at how well this kid can throw a frisbee. Basketball and frisbee, those will be his games.

On the other hand, Miss C needed a few lessons. So Goompa was happy to step in and teach her. Mind you, these lessons went on for about 20 minutes and included a discussion about triangles and various other geometrical shapes. Who knows what was going on. But Miss C sat there and listened to every single word. She's just that type of kid.

Whatever he said, it worked. Her throwing capabilities improved dramatically.

Double thumbs up to Goompa for the great lesson

And a thumbs up to her adoring fans

I did not know a helmet was required for frisbee. Good for Caroline for being safe.

The helmet totally cracked me up. Love it!
