Kickoff!




The Home Depot project for this morning was a paper football goalpost. Remember those paper footballs (triangles folded over and over again) from elementary school? Well, they're back just in time for kickoff. The girls had a good time, especially using the screwdriver (their first time with one!). Then, when Matt got home for lunch, he showed them how to flick ("kick") the football through the goalposts. It took quite a lot of practice for them, but they thought it was great! Here are pictures of them concentrating as they try to master this new skill.

(Matt had fun, too, I think. He also taught us "basketball" using a quarter and another persons hands as the net. Reliving the old glory days, I guess. I remember watching all the elementary school boys and just putting it down to them being boys.)
