The Checker Ball

I have three decorative balls in the family room. I bought these mostly to be decorative, but also because I don't care if kits play with them. Today for playgroup that's just what the kids did, rolling them down the hall, playing "bowling." They sure had a great time.

My checkered ball, though, did not survive the event. It has suffered some chips and blows in the past, but today pieces of it kept falling off. Or, as Alex said, "It's falling to pieces."

We gave all the pieces an appropriate send off in the garbage can, then promptly went to the craft store to buy a replacement.


Hopefully we can do more bowling next time!
