Gratitude 24 - Fun and Games

While driving home from work, I received a phone call from Erica - the first words out of mouth were "Hi Mom - We received this huge box and it says it is a pinball machine. It was shipped to Dad. Do you know what this is? Can we open it?".

Hmmmm..... I guess Scott bought the kids a pinball machine.

In all honesty, I vaguely recall him mentioning the pinball machine, but I thought it was for Christmas. Oh well, not anymore!

Scott's goal is to transform the basement into a "Fun Zone" and he continues to make progress - this purchase being the latest in Fun toys. We also have air hockey, fooseball, a dart board and a basketball hoop that tallies up the number of baskets made while a timer counts down. So add Pin ball machine to the list.

Scott's theory is if we have a fun basement, the kids will want to hang out at home. I think it is a good strategy, so I am thankful for all of the Fun and Games we have in our home. I am even more thankful that it is all contained in the basement, because I wouldn't want all that stuff in the Living Room!
