Chalk Fun

Another fun thing about summer is sidewalk chalk. Moo loves going to Grammy's because of the huge driveways and the presence of an ever-willing artist who will accompany Moo in her hours and hours of coloring.

Moo makes an excellent job foreman and will tell Grammy exactly what to draw and where to draw it. Then she will come over, inspect it and add any finishing touches that may be needed. In this case, Ursula's eyebrows were not angry enough. Yes, this time around, she had Grammy draw an entire scene from the Little Mermaid...Ariel, Ursula, Ursula's cave, Flounder and Prince Eric, with the exception that Prince Eric be turned into a mermaid like Ariel. Grammy is such a good sport and drew it all while Moo just watched and edited.

Later, we tried to teach Moo how to do hopscotch. She was actually pretty good at it, although she got bored rather quickly. Then Grammy tried to teach her a chalk grid hopping game that she remembered from when she was little. She didn't remember the name of it, but it involved a large grid with numbered squares in which one had to jump from square to square in numerical order without falling over or missing a number in the sequence. Moo found that much more fun than hopscotch and spent a good deal of time trying to get in Grammy's way to prevent her from hopping on the right squares. Good times were had by all...except perhaps by Mommy, who is still having to listen to the Yellow Submarine song that Grampy thought would be cute to teach Moo while Grammy was busy chalking up a storm. Thanks for that Grampy.
