Obstacle Course

When it is time to go to bed at night, Eva, is the biggest dilly-dallyer in the world.  Dylan is tired and just wants to snuggle with Mommy.  Eva is hard-core.  She will look for any excuse to delay, distract, dawdle, defer, detain...

So one night Jeff was on the couch watching American Ninja Warriors.  Of course Eva, ready for bed, immediately found it fascinating in the hopes it would buy her an extra 5 minutes.  Well that exposure created 'Obstacle Course Mayhem' in our house.  

Dyleva began creating mini obstacle courses all through our house.  Eva went to a Tae Kwon Doh birthday party where they had a course set up.  Eva raised her hand, to tell her instructor about ANW, and all hell broke loose with the formerly quiet children sitting and paying attention.  They all started talking about ANW and he couldn't get them quieted down.  So funny!

So today, our backyard became the obstacle course.  We had jumping, climbing, crawling, strategy, balance!  The ninos loved it.  It was about 86 degrees out, so every time they completed the obstacle course, they got a popsicle.  What fun we had!
