This afternoon, ashlyn and i played two-square. She has been learning four-square at school the last couple weeks, and asked me to play. I used to play that game ALL the time when i was her age...i have forgotten pretty much all the rules and felt lost as she listed off all kinds of moves and rules. We played for quite awhile, and every minute or so, she would make a comment about how nice it was to play with me, how fun this was, how we are just talking girl talk and hanging out, etc, etc. It was quite obvious how much the interactive (playing a game, doing *something*) one-on-one time meant to her. Mental note: DO THIS MORE.
Benjamin and my camera were both already outside, so i took advantage. i had him snap some photos while we played :)
when adam came home, all four of us played four square. Adam remembered waaay more than i did! That man has a steal trap mind when it comes to games and such. It was super fun. the four of us need to find more hands on activities to do together.
here is a photo i stole from facebook that adam just posted...he took ben out for guy nite. Love these two!
woah! Lots of blog reading to catch up on, yay! I've missed your blogging.

So funny, I was just thinking about playing four-square with the girls last week! I have forgotten all the rules, too. I loved what you said about Adam, Eric is the same way with remembering stuff like that. :)

Ok, is this a regional thing?...Because I have no idea what you're talking about. Two square? Four square?
Explain?
