Square Ball

Remember the easy going, care-free days in elementary school when we weren't thinking about boys or girls yet, just havin fun on the playground!?  Yesterday Justise brought up loving square ball right now- he was so excited about it!  Christian Justise and Elise decided to go out  to the garage and searched for chalk in our spotless (lol) garage, where they did actually find a piece (wow) and made their own four square court.  I went out to the garage and they looked like they were having so much fun!  They were being so kind to Elise who had no clue how to play but would just hold the ball and then throw it to one of the boys.  When she would throw the ball out of the box or in an empty square they would shrug their shoulders and keep on going and not make her "out".. I was thinking- YES a game that they can all play and have a good time without fighting.  It's hard to find something for them all to do and get along with their age differences.  I even got in on the game and did pretty good if I might say so myself (Kids might disagree though)!    A couple of times I advanced to the best square the  "a" square-WhoooHooo!!  They have all of these new terms like "pass back nicely", "poison", "body ball"  that I couldn't keep up with, I just tried to get the ball in their square fast enough so they couldn't retrieve the ball!  It's a fun game because you aren't actually out with 3/4 people, you move to the next square down if you can't get the ball in time.  It was fun to play a fast paced game at 7 o'clock at night in our garage where it wasn't as cold as outside!    (sorry if the pics are dark)
