Chalk It Up to Monday

It's Monday. My kids are eating breakfast, it is almost time to take them to school and I am scrambling to get a post in. Perfect time for Monday Mugs.

This week's theme is Chalk.

What to do with all that brand new chalk?

How about a good game of hopscotch

And as a big brother it is your job to boss instruct your sister on how to play.
She got it!
So head over to Oswald Cuties and link up!

Oh and TOMORROW it is time to write up your Ten Things to Smile About This Month lists and link up. What things made you happy and smile this month?

  1. We LOVE sidewalk chalk here...could explain the huge bucket that we have of it. Just as fun as coloring.

  4. Just looking at the chalk gives me goose bumps. I can't stand the feel or sound of it.

    Cute pictures though. I love that big brother is teaching her how to play!

  5. My husband has this weird aversion to sidewalk chalk. Which is unfortunate because Avery has a deep, unabiding love for it. As usual, she wins.

  7. Hopscotch used to be the only thing we did with chalk when I was young! So cool!
    Did you already have these shots or did you purposefully take them with chalk in mind? Really great shots!
    Thanks so much for linking up!

  10. What a fun post! I didn't think I had any pictures of my kids with chalk and tonight I came home from a walk and what was Alyssa doing? Darwing with chalk! I should had had her do it last night.

    I will be linking up with you soon for 10 things!

  13. My first graders asked me today if hopscotch was a compound word??? Try explaining "scotch" to a first grader.

    Your pictures are always terrific.

  14. :) That is all I can say. The memories are flooding in and the smiles abound now, all because of this post. :) Ah, sidewalk chalk and hopscotch. Two childhood joys that go hand in hand.

  15. Sidewalk chalk is so much fun. Your photos are awesome. I especially like the one of your son instructing your daughter. It's very sweet.
