SCRABBLE Monday

Because as I've told Jules so many times in the past, working during "normal" people hours is so beneath us.....besides who needs $$ when you have family??? Ok so as you may or may not know Santa gave Jules the board game Scrabble for Christmas and to my shock, he has never played it before! Ever. So when Matteo napped today (in the kitchen as I had pity for him) and Mommy was too energized to nap, what is a fairly newly (6 yrs) married couple to do, but play scrabble? So the game started out fun, with Jules making the first spelling error "qute" for the word "cute"........(please see below where he spelled "christsas") hence, he lost a turn and received no points for stupidy. I should preface MOMMY is the one that has trouble spelling.

Mommy made a great word "ax" double word points 16 points!!!!!

Oops, below is where I caught Daddy knowingly cheating...."writen". Look at his facee, he knowingly cheated! Cheat No. 2.

Mommy caught him red handed and hence called him out, causing Jules to lose a turn and receive no points.

When Mommy decided enough was enough and it was time to wake Matteo, below you will see our finished product.

Oops, I failed to mention who won. Welll, that has yet to be determined as DAddy once again CHEATED (oh yes you heard me right). You see, Daddy was score keeper and he says the score was: 504 (Daddy) to 194 (Mommy). He didn't use numbers to keep score, he used "tally" marks, each one representing "5 points". Ok well what happens when ytou get "16 points" or 1 point? Clearly you see how I am not affected by this score as I know he 1) cheated and 2) cheated or really messed up counting (i think the first).

But all in all, Santa's whole objective of purchasing/making/building Scrabble for Daddy was achieved, for some good old fashioned fun. Clearly I could have turned on the TV while Matteo napped, but instead we enjoyed a good laugh. I suggest you try it next time your loved one is home, you may just learn how much of a cheater you live with :-) "haha" (which by the way is a word).
