Mr Sunshine is building a chook house with unwanted wood from local building sites – meaning totally free
The wood he had gathered was piled high under our patio until Zoe decided to drag some if it out onto the lawn and make her own obstacle course. 
The girls have brainstormed lots of different games and created rules like you wouldn’t believe. Lots of negotiation…and then lots of fun. Their favourite way to play is to create a complete loop and set a target number of laps to complete…whilst setting a maximum number of times you can fall off/touch the ground before you have start all over again. Once they were out there in complete darkness until bedtime completing a gazillion laps for just one game. 
Zoe is a big fan of “free-range” play on the obstacle course.
And yes, they are in their pajamas! Outside first thing in the morning for some balancing course ACTION… 
Zoe just loved being able to design her own course (which she did on another day – see…different pajamas!). Competence competence competence – something that girls (and boys) thrive on when they get the chance to feel it.
Won’t it be sad when Mr Sunshine finishes the chook house and the balancing fun is gone? We may have to head out to the building sites again and see what we will find (in our pajamas).
Thanks for dropping by!
