Grandma and Grandpa Baxter came for a visit yesterday and while they were there, we played several rounds of air hockey. The table used to have an electronic score keeper, but it got broken this last week. And that doesn't mean the fun has to end. While Samuel and Grandpa were playing, Calista decided that she could be the score keeper. Every was going smoothly until Samuel scored his 6th point. How are you supposed to show six points with only 5 fingers. We told her that she can just put one finger up on Samuel's side now, but that didn't sit well. She was telling Samuel that he had to remember that he already had five points so he could add on the extra one point, when Aaron or someone else mentioned that she could use her toes. She was all for that idea, except for one thing. She had her socks on. So she took off the sock on one foot and held up that foot so Samuel would know how many points he had! We needed to see her five toes so we knew he had 5 more points, not just one :) After a little bit Grandpa got 6 points too! Off went the other sock.
Samuel 8, Grandpa just got his 6th point.
Taking off the second sock!
Back in business!!

Too funny! I love how u captured it in pictures too.
I would say that takes talent to get both feet and hands up keeping score.
Your kids are so stinking cute! What a clever kid! :)
