Playing for Keeps





Do you know what can be done with a bucket of KEEPS (clips)?




Well, this bucket of KEEPS is the source of much enjoyment and laughter and let's just say if it's going to keep us happy for a good three quarters of an hour, well then, minus the odd "brak of the finga" ouch game, we'll could potentially play the KEEPS game all day.




So, here we have an assortment of KEEPS to which we must sort when we help Momma hang clothes on the line outside. There is a hodge podge of colors and styles but we always seem to find the "SAMES".








We work really hard at finding the SAMES BOO (blue) and LELLA (yellow) each time (that's because it's all about the sun and surf down here on this little island!!!) Or, maybe they're just he brightest colors?







Here are the SAMES.






Once we've got our grasp on the SAMES, we run around the yard and shout, "Zekie got sames keeps!" We call this one Zeke the Zephyr.







A little game of Wet KEEP, Dry KEEP always goes over nicely.








Yes, that's right folks, we even do a little physical activity while organizing KEEPS - a little pushup never hurt anyone. Drill sargent Momma ("Boss Hog" from Dukes of Hazard) is making sure we get a good workout!








The game continues indoors until well, we have a run in with one of the KEEPS and have to state, "Zekie brak finga".
Cry, cry (big crocodiles), Momma kiss, KEEPS go away for another day.

Behind the tears singing, "Bye, Bye Keeps...Bye, Bye Keeps....See you late-a." Now it's time to destroy the inside of the house! Oh yeah!




The KEEPS are "hide-en in der ca-set" to the left (you can just see those little eyes looking in that direction).......we want 'em but Momma has to practice the re-direction...........and soon we're having so much fun that we forget about those KEEPS.




And you thought the fun stops there? It doesn't.......then we play the WA-WA HOSE MOMMA game.............

Translation: "Watch out Momma, I've been doing my pushups and I'm going to get you wet!" And when we're tired of that, we retreat to our pool within a pool to fill some cups with the divine liquid. Are we wasting water here? Hence, the pool within the pool?

The Right Amount on the Feet Leaves Them Soft and Supple



Yes I Am Wasting Water



Yes, and I'm going to go back to work and miss all of this? I doubt it very much!
