Gambling Winnings

July 17, 2013

While the big boys were in ATL, Poppi resurrected an old game with the boys.  Dominos for money.  Zachary was very excited about this.  Particularly because the "bank" only gives and does not take away.  Zachary came away from his stint at Leisure Dr. with $23, and Wyatt $17.

They were very very eager to "go buy toys" with their winnings.  I made them take a recon mission to Target first (meaning I needed to do some grocery shopping and they did not have their money), and sleep on their decision for one night before buying anything.  I also like for them to wait so that Art can go too, since he misses out on so much of their activities.  I like to save as much as I can for him to participate in.

Here are the pictures that I took to show Poppi what his dominos bank bought the boys last night.

Zachary with a Lego Chima speedorz, which is actually a pretty cool thing.  It is like a little motorcycle that uses a little rip cord (or zipper as the boys call it) to power it.  It also comes with a target, but of course Z and W like to have them "battle" instead, and see who's holds up.

Thank you Poppi!

Here is Wyatt with his dragon from a movie we have never seen, Skylander Giants.  And odd choice I thought, but he did not change his mind even after sleeping on it.  Plus it's a dragon which he loves, and only $10, which he also loves (he is a better saver right now than Z is).

Thank you Poppi!
