Do you like to kick off your shoes at the end of a long day?? Grab a pair of flip flops or other loose fitting shoes, add a hula hoop for a target and voilá — instant lawn game FUN!!

Emily loved this excuse to kick off her shoes over…..

….and over…..

…and over again! Great active (and frugal) fun!

Bullseye!! Those teal flip flops are totally mine — you didn’t think I let her have all the fun, did you??

Have fun!!

    This brings back fond memories of my Mom! She would always flick off her shoes when she was swinging on a swing! There is so much joy in your daughter’s eyes!!

    Dear Valerie,

    If only we could translate this somehow into getting her shoes on faster!

    Love,
    Mark

      *sigh* Agreed! I think I’ve grown old watching her get her shoes on…

        We had this problem with Sawyer too for a while. Now we play the whole “I can get my shoes on faster than you can!” game. Most of the time it works perfectly! The other times, I inform him that I will gladly take him to (wherever we are going) without shoes on and when someone asks him why he doesn’t have shoes on, he can explain that he wasn’t interested in doing it. 🙂 That usually gets him to put them on 🙂
