Got Game?





Ethan was excited to take the challenge and try to earn a quarter by earning 50 points in this funny game I remember my mom playing on us when we were younger. He was so excited and Morgan and Katie were so good not to give away the secret. We were trying so hard not to laugh too much as he pressed the quarter hard against his face and rolled it down trying to let it fall into one of the squares we drew on the paper (trace the quarter on the paper being sure to get led on the outside so it marks the face). He did score 50 points and when he took his paper to the mirror to find the hidden msg on it (wink) his jaw DROPPED! He was so stunned and we were laughing at his shock. He was a good sport and the girls were begging to get a turn afterwards so they could earn a quarter. I like the pic of Ethan looking up at Dad, proud of how good he's doing. I did feel a bit of guilt; just a little.

Oh, Ethan got tricked, but it looks like he did not mind so much. Moms & dads can get revenge sometimes, can't they? Hey, maybe I can see if Kris will like this 'secret message' game. Well, at least everyone is smiling. How fun, but guess what...Ethan will try this on his kids someday. Hummm, it will become a family tradition.

Hey, Ethan looks FABULOUS!
This sounds like a funny, but harmless little prank. However, Mom, sorry, I would not fall for it!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
