Cheap Thrills -- Simple Bean Bag Game

For a fun time, sew up a few easy bean bags. Then take them to your driveway for a test run with some targets drawn with sidewalk chalk!


It's so much fun, and a great way to practice addition by keeping score!


It's not solely about the execution.... bonus points for style!


Extra bonus points for joining the kiddos!


Fun!!!



Please help send me to Vermont for the Stonyfield Barnstorming Tour by voting for me here! As an added bonus, if I make the top 3, Stonyfield will make a $5000 donation to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. ((fingers crossed!))

You are allowed one vote per day per valid email address, and voting ends May 25th @ noon EST.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who is voting for me!! I truly appreciate it!

Dear Valerie,

Emily clearly crossed the throwing line. Did she receive a penalty?

Love,
Mark

@ Mark -- I let it slide since she exhibited such interesting.... I mean, graceful (Ha!)... form.

I love it. Striking a pose at the end is definitely a must....
