MONOPOLY!!!!!

The kids have wanted to play Monopoly for a long time. They finally got to play with Emily & Dan last weekend. The game took two days. That is the main reason Dad & I don't want to play it. When the kids got home from Michigan, they went downstairs to get our game. Lo and behold, it wasn't there. I must have packed it away and it is stored at Emily & Dan's. But, we did have Monopoly Junior. It isn't as much fun, but it was better than nothing. UNTIL...

The kids decided to make their own game. It took them all afternoon to make the game. It is amazing! They really worked hard on it. They still wanted us to play the game, we declined. Maybe on family night on Friday. They named their own places - they are names of streets in the area. Instead of "Boardwalk" they have "Rt. 60." That is the main drag around here.

Dad was working on the ladder for the bunkbed. Drilling holes in metal was harder than he thought it would be. But, the ladder will be secure and will last forever! Here is the finished product! We decided not to paint or stain it - saves time, money and hassles.


Here is Elyse being silly by their homemade Monopoly game.

That's all folks!
