The boys had been begging me to go to Chuck E. Cheese for months, so I promised them
we would go before school started as one last special treat. I procrastinated as long
as I could until finally here we are...the day before school starts.
It actually worked out perfectly because they had a deal going on today where the kids
could play unlimited games for as long as they wanted for $15 each! They were SO
excited! Normally they're limited by time or the number of credits they have, but this
was truly unlimited and it was the best thing ever!! We even invited some
friends along to help celebrate the last day of summer.
They jumped from game to game,
but the big boys ended up spending a lot of their time with one game in particular. And I
can totally understand why. They kept winning 100 tickets at a time and collecting these
monster stacks of tickets. Every 2 minutes, one of the boys would scream out in celebration
because they won another 100 tickets. The best quote of the day, however, goes to Joe.
He pushed the button, turned away from the game to tell me something and
ended up winning 100 tickets. He looked back at me and said,
"Ha! I won 100 tickets...and I wasn't even looking!"
And guess who was the lucky one who got the job of neatly stacking them so they'd fit
in the small bags they were carrying around? This girl!
It was honestly such a great way to spend the day. The boys had a blast with their friends
and ending up winning so many tickets they were actually able to pick out some decent
prizes. Owen had his eye set on the gumball machine. Joe of course found a puppy stuffed
animal, a small t-rex, and a laser gun. And Miles rounded out the day with some suckers,
gummy rings, and a laser gun to match Joe's. All in all, an impressive haul.
Goodbye summer! We'll miss you!!
