Olympic Fever

Beckett has become obsessed with curling. At first he called it hockey. Now he calls it hopscotch. In any case if he sees it on he desperately wants to watch it. "We USA, 'merica. We're red." It gets a little confusing if we're throwing yellow rocks in that round or if we've changed to blue shirts, but as long as we stick with cheering for America we do alright. As we watched the other day we decided to try some curling on our own. Beckett started throwing my slippers down the living room and then grabbed his little mop. Living room curling was born.

Skip Beckett ready for the throw with draw weight and smooth release and other curling jargon.


We rotate and it's Mommy's turn to throw.
Sweep, Beckett, sweep!!!!

  1. Kay--that living room curling made me laugh so hard!! That is absolutely adorable!!! I get bored watching curling---but I think I wouldn't get bored if Beckett was playing, especially with a pair of his mom's slippers!!!
