Only 10 days til the World Cup starts! Ed is in countdown mode, so to get Jack in the spirit, I made him this little tabletop football (aka soccer) game. It only took a few materials we already had around the house:
- A pizza box (it gave us a good excuse to order Dominoes)
- Some green construction paper
- Paint to make the lines on the pitch
- Two pipe cleaners for the goal posts
- Some 'ads' for the sides, chopped from food wrappers and cereal boxes
- And to play the game - two straws and a white pom pom (or cotton ball)
By the way, I saw this idea in a doctor's office waiting room magazine, but found a link to it
here.
Ed gave Jack a little schooling on how the game works. Just blow in the straw to move the ball and score a goal. We set some books under it so the ball would drop right through the hole when a goal was scored.
England vs. USA is on June 12, I think around noon. Anybody who wants to watch it live can come over to our place!
I love Jack's haircut. I haven't seen you two in such a long time! We miss you.
