Dear Liza,
I told you about our advent calendar, where we keep track of the days until Christmas. Auntie Bridgett made us these cute bags and we put candy, trivia questions, or puzzles inside.
Last night we got a ball toss game. Since I used what we have at home for the game, it had yogurt container targets and three sheets of tin foiled rolled up into balls. We three took turns aiming for the targets, with the closest one counting for one point and the furthest one counting for four. The stairs in our house made it even more interesting.
And of course, any time balls are getting tossed around, Mouse the cat gets very interested. She watched for quite a while and then decided that this was really a game for her.
She hunkered down, pounced around, and even batted balls away from the targets. She is a very good goalie. Finally she cornered one and held onto it, bringing the game to a giggly end.
Who needs reindeer games? We have cat games!
Love,
Grandma Judy

Oh Mouse, you are the sweetest and very lucky to have such kind, fun and creative caretakers.

Mouse sends her best regards, kind sir. She is a nine year old with the sleeping habits of a hibernating bear and the playfulness of a kitten. She is a great joy in these quiet times.

It is so nice to see adults who still know how to (and enjoy) play(ing). Our cat is gone but I bet our dogs would give it a good shot at being a goalie!
