Chloe has found all sorts of silly things to do with her friends when they come over to play. The other day, it was this. Today, she and her friend invented a game that involves throwing a deflated pink puffy ball at a larger beach ball and hoping the two meet mid-air.

Chloe demonstrated the game to me this evening, with the able assistance of little Sophie, who was happy to prance around in her underwear. Ah, the joys of youth.

What’s most amazing to me, however, is that today was an absolutely gorgeous day. Not a cloud in the sky, a little on the cool side. Could they have played this game outside? Of course. Was it suited to being played outside? You bet. And yet, did they go outside? No. Ugh.
