this was our first year to take the kids to a superbowl party (they are usually with a sitter!). we headed over to a neighbor's house and like any good superbowl party, there were squares up for grabs. ellis discovered this little chart right away and asked for some $ to fill her name in. no problem. she waited by the chart until it was full and then helped ms. jill draw the numbers that go across the top and down the side. she was then obsessed with the score and whose square was winning. she didn't win the first quarter or the half :( and it was time for the kids to go to bebe's since there was school the next day (yes, they got to spend the night on a school night!) the night went on, purple dranks (intentional misspelling) were flowing (i was a raven for the night) and ellis won 3RD QUARTER AND FINAL SCORE!!!!
how awesome is that?
when i walked into bebe's house the next morning at 7:00 a.m., ellis came RUNNING to me asking who won 3rd and final. i had to tell her the truth...no choice right? she knew the amount that was up for grabs and would have heard the truth from someone eventually. she couldn't believe it!!! neither could i! $150 :) i don't think she will ever miss another superbowl party!
she hasn't spent any of the money...BUT she did give her brother $40 for new skylanders. so nice :)
