Poker Face!

Well, we're teaching the kids how to play cards -- Texas Hold 'Em, to be exact. The boys LOVE it! They love it so much that we decided to buy real chips rather than continue to use candy. We've told them they CANNOT play in real life, and they've seen scenes from movies where people lose thousands and millions of dollars, so I think they'll take our advice to heart.

Last night, Akos said, "I like that we play poker as a family," and not many things have ever sounded so sweet. (After all, my secret love is card-playing.) I took the picture above just as he was going all in with a full house, I think.

Anyway, it's been a fun couple of weeks -- learning something new together. (I'm really still just a baby at poker.) I think they like to see that I'm learning along with them.

Thing I'm thankful for: a smart husband!
