The Money Game!

My dad plays this game with the kids called "The Money Game!" This is how it works...the kids stand in the entry way of my parents house and my dad stands upstairs with money. He folds one bill at a time and drops it down to the kids. If they catch it before it touches the floor - they get to keep it. If it touches the floor or lands somewhere before they catch it - it has to be returned to my dad, upstairs. The kids take turns trying to make their fortune and it's very stressful!

The kids played this the other day with dollar bills. Today we had a baby shower for my sister-in-law, Kali. Talbie came early with me to get things set up. I was down in the basement when she came down and said, "Grandpa played the money game with me and I got a $50!" My dad will do this sometime with the older kids and it really puts the pressure on.

Talbie couldn't wait to tell Maddie the news when she got there for the shower. You can imagine Maddie reaction when my dad said he was out of money...



But everyone knows that Grandpa is never out of money - so...

Maddie was able to catch her 50 dollar bill!
