GIMMIE THAT!!

Amanda and I have always played this fun game with Dixon. It started out when he was little and he had something he shouldn't have and one of us would yell at him and say "Gimme that ..." he would then tuck his tail and take off around the house. We learned how to get whatever he had away from him quite easily, but he still liked the game. Now whenever he has one of his toys we just yell "GIMMIE THAT!" and he takes off flying around the room leaping over furniture, yes leaping over, and just running around in circles. Amanda and I then spend the next 20 minutes or so chasing him around the house, getting the toy away from him which then turns into a game of keep away. Dixon and I play Gimmie That outside, just in a much bigger way that involves running in huge circles around the yard, darting in and out of trees, jumping into the monkey grass, and sliding around on the pine straw. The end result is this:

This makes Amanda happy so she doesn't have to hear me groaning about watching American Idol.

This morning around 7am, Dixon decided he wanted to create a new game called "Drag my purple plastic pool from under the deck and around the yard while biting holes in it to make it useless" which resulted in this:

Now the only question remains, what will he do in the new yard. Stay tuned - Jared
