We were tired today! After a lovely tornado warning this morning at around 1:00 am, we were dragging. When we are like this, it would be easy to lounge around all day and rot our brains with TV. However, I have learned over the years that we all argue with each other and are just grumpy all day when we resort to the chill day. It is best to keep all the girls in this house moving (plus it makes it easier to fall asleep that night if we’ve done something). Good thing we had some Olympic events planned!
We watched single rowing this morning on TV, and the girls were impressed that the athletes all face the opposite direction from where they were going. We also watched the canoe slalom, which looked insane. Well, we don’t have any roaring rapids in our backyard (nor do we want any…), and we weren’t going to go actual rowing. Instead, we set up the snow sled in the hallway and I timed the girls using Squid’s Moana oar to drag themselves down the hall. Squid was the clear gold medalist, covering the hallway in 45 seconds. I came in second with a blistering time of 1:42 (hahaha), and poor Wormy ran into some trouble on her course. Must have been the typhoon….
We also watched cycling, but Wormy went outside to get her bike going and decided it was too hot. She came in and petitioned the Olympics committee to postpone the event until tomorrow, at the earliest. The Olympics committee acquiesced. Instead we played the Junior Ranger board game and counted that as our BMX bike event (as we are not about to go crazy biking anywhere…we’re not brave enough for that!).
So, for those following the results, here is the medal count:
Wizarding World of Danceookia – 2 golds
Molainia – 1 silver, 1 bronze
Momlandia – 1 silver, 1 bronze (after suffering an unexpected defeat in the Junior Ranger game)
