How To Skip Rope Without a Rope or Partner

The high today is ZERO.  That doesn't include the wind chill.  Which has it around -100 or something.  Okay maybe not -100 but you get the idea.  And I'm not one to laugh in the face of the weather men when they say STAY INSIDE.  So we are. 
I was desperate today.  I broke into the upcoming birthday stash.  She's got alot of energy.  and LOVES to jump. 
Why couldn't I have invented something like this?  And no it certainly isn't the same as having 2 of your friends turn a rope singing little diddies while you jump outside in the sunshine on a playground BUT it'll do for awhile. 
And yes Chris (he has hawk like eyesight when it comes to things in my pictures and videos) there are potato strawlike chips on the floor under the dishwasher.  I had just spilled them and when I couldn't get even a moment to sweep them up because I was hearing Mama for the millioneth time I got out the skipper and swept later.  Oh and the dishwasher was running so it sounds really loud.




It has 3 speeds and let me tell you the slowest speed is pretty darn hard.  I love how she stands back to judge just the right time to jump into the "rope."

  1. That is really neat...and looks like a fun thing to do especially if stuck inside! It rains a lot where we live...might have to add that to Rachel's birthday gift list too! I get all my great ideas from you! Thank you! Funny about your note about the floor. I have added notes like that to posts:)...
