I bought Scotty some clearance Easter sidewalk chalk last week. He had a lot of fun drawing on the porch. He had just watched an episode of Max and Ruby where they were playing Hop Scotch and he kept talking about it. I drew the Hop Scotch squares and Scotty had a lot of fun jumping all over them. I wish I had thought to get a video of him jumping around thinking he was playing hop scotch but totally missing the squares. It's too funny. He still asks me if he can go "play Op Scotch, momma?" Here are a couple of pics of Scotty having fun with his egg chalk.
Now, here's a guessing game for you. There are at least 4 people on my links list that should have a chance at guessing what the below pic reminds me of and maybe some others who view my blog. It's something from my childhood. It should probably remind these people of something from their childhood too!!
Not such a hard guessing game is it?

I need to get Oliver some sidewalk chalk. Such a cheap way to have fun!
I really like the new short haircut. It's been a while since I've blog-surfed so sorry I'm a little behind.

Um, maybe one of those shadow things that are cut out of black paper and mounted on white paper and hung up in your room for an indescribably long time? That's my guess.

Scotty looks like he's having fun with the chalk!

You guessed right, Sarah. I guess everyone did this. Except mine was white shadow/black paper I believe. Anyone who was in the many years of Mrs. Law's kindergarten class in Joseph City, AZ had this done. They were all hung on the wall at Kindergarten Graduation and then we got to take them home. I expected Jodi, Suzi, Alona or Kristal to guess this one!

Gee, I didn't know that they were so popular (the shadow thingies). My was done by some professional in California when we went to visit one year. I'm pretty sure they paid a lot of money to have it done. It lasted forever...or for awhile, cuz it's gone now, and if it had lasted forever it would still be here.

I made one of those shadow things too! I wonder if my kids will make them, since they were standard when we were kids.

Koi said...

Hey, I hope my kids get to do one of those too. It might just be a small town thing though. So any way.....Ummm I haven't heard from Chelsea for about 5 years and I went to Hootie's wedding last July in Ramah. She's working at a salon in NM and seems to be doing really good. I think she cut her hand pretty bad a while back at home. It was some freak accident. So I guess I'm not sure if she's still working in a salon afterall. If I had her address I would give it to you. I'll tell her you said hi next time I'm up that way.

Too funny, I forgot about those shadow pics. It must have been our generation of kindergartners. Hows the new home?

Diana said...

I remember doing them too! I'll have to ask my family and see if they do the shadow pictures here in the big city.
So...the blog is getting a little further along. Not much to look at yet but I'm working on it.
