It was a balmy afternoon yesterday when Reilly and Kate played an intense game of Hop Scotch. As they battled hopping from one box to the next on the chalk drawn driveway – Reilly took his rock tossed threw it down the board. What he didn’t realize was that his powerful, Josh Beckett arm, was no match for the game and his rock toss landed Kate square in the mouth. After much shrieking and a Princess Jasmine boo boo bag Kate retired to the couch.

I don’t sense ill feelings from Kate, but her puffy, split lip is a constant reminder of the intensity of the game.
