wolfsbrideToday we played Akela Says. Which is the same as Simon Says. Our boys are really good! It took Akela twenty minutes to get them down to one. And he does it fast too.
Then we learned knots. We started out with a square knot. Which is quite easy. And then he pulled out the big guns and got out a deck of cards with pictures of knots. I got stuck on the sheep shank. My brain was in knots. It didn't help that there was only one card per group, so half the time you're looking at it upside down or sideways or not at all, when someone runs away with it. It was made all the more annoying when one of the dads came in and was all that's EASY! You just do this! And this! And that! Viola! He didn't say viola but he implied it :D
SURE IT'S EASY WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!
Anyway, I think we're going to practice again next week. I wonder if the sheep shank was used to tie up sheep. Will have to look it up.
Also. Was beaten at badminton by a six year old. I should just give up now :D
