Jake's Game Night


While I was napping and Gracie was doing her 2 days of sick/makeup/homework, Gretchen played a little Mario Brothers & Jake set up a livingroom carnival. He had all of his prizes lined up in the windowsill. So after dinner was cleaned up & all the homework was finished, we played some games. We did a little empty soda bottle bowling.
We did some dodge-ball and some hockey. That is right, I let them play all of those games in my livingroom.

After the games were through, Jake told us how many points we needed to get certain prizes and then we all totaled up our points. I had 53, Gracie had 923, Gretchen had exactly how many she needed to get a Pig Mania game she had her eye on & Mike had the most with 3000 point. 3000 points is what you have to have to get a Pepsi.
I love that he wrapped the rubber snake with a rubber band. You can't see them, but right behind Jake there are 4 rolls of Lifesavers, 2 of them were Gretchen's. The baggie of rubberbands was actually not a prize, just there because he was so busy setting up, he didn't have time to put them away. The Pepsi was in the fridge so it could stay cold. I love this boy!

Yes, Wario is a good boy, Im glad your family all played games, yet you must of not because you only had 53 points, did you play or are you just not so good? Even if your not so good, no worries your took pictures and that mean really did let them play these games in the house! Your a good mom with a low score. Me too.

I love the totaling of the points. I just want to spend one day inside this little man's head....or as a fly on your wall. I am happy with either.
