took these photos last week … and they totally crack me up. i think i've mentioned this before … but my girls love to play ball in the house. not outside … but IN the house. soccer is the biggest sport. next up would be volleyball. and then there is softball. alyssa had found this mini soccer ball at her dad's house … it's attached to one of those stretchy cords and you strap it to your wrist. so you can kick the ball … and it always comes back to you. so why not use if for some pitching practice, right?
so here is alyssa, getting ready to pitch to sarah … who is catching. the jump rope laying on the floor? i think that was left over from volleyball … they use that as the net. look at alyssa … giving me the wink for some reason. a sign of the trouble to come i think. but you'd think sarah would be prepared … seriously, look how padded up she got.
i think she's wearing about 4 jackets … and even 2 pairs of pants. fuzzy socks and slippers. a couple of hats … and a scarf wrapped around her face. not sure why she's still holding the volleyball from the previous game.
they're close enough that the ball really does make it to each other. it bounces back from the cord … so i'm not sure sarah ever actually caught one. and trust me … it bounces back hard! i can't tell you how many times it's come back to get them. lol!
and least she uncovered her eyes at one point … so she could see what was coming at her.
and it just wouldn't be a game if they didn't give it all they had. they don't understand the meaning of "take it easy". they play hard … and they play rough. and yes … someone did get hurt just a few minutes after i took these photos. it always happens!
i just noticed you can see my partially painted walls in these photos. lol! in that last photo, you can see the yellow that i've been painting. and along the bottom, is the beige that i had before. i hadn't done any edges or trimming. and i also havn't touched the paint in over 3 weeks. i decided that overall … i wasn't liking it. only in the playroom area … i liked that up against the green walls. but the rest of it was bugging me. so as of today … i'm repainting it. with the original beige. at least i didn't have it all done. lol!
