Cow Bowling

While I haven't had a chance to blog about Audrey's fabulous Christmas(es) this past weekend, I didn't want to forget this one:

As part of her second installment of Christmas yesterday, Audrey received a bowling set which includes a cow as the ball and milk cartons as the pins. It's actually quite cute. I put it in the living room last night after we got home, and I just knew that Audrey's daddy would help her set it up this morning. And he did.

While I was upstairs getting ready for work, I could hear him downstairs teaching her the finer points of bowling. As we typically do, I took over downstairs while Eric got ready upstairs. Audrey asked me to bowl with her, so I thought I'd give it a try.

I was horrible. I could not hit a single milk carton, er, pin. After several bad attempts, Audrey looked at me and said,

"Um, mommy. You're supposed to hit the pins. Yeah, hit the pins!"

Thank you, dear.

Eventually, I started knocking a few pins down. After Audrey decided I may be slight competition, she asked to take a turn. She knocked down 3 pins, and very loudly yelled:

"GO CUBS!!"

Hopeless. Hopeless, I tell you.
