monopoly with debit cards?


ok...this is pretty cool...nathan decided that he wanted to pick out his own birthday presents this year from steve and i so for weeks (i mean WEEKS) nathan has been shopping/thinking/pondering at great length...like nathan always does...what to buy...comparing prices...asking for advise from his brothers...so finally on monday we went shopping and he spent every penny of the $50.00 at target on monopoly/yu-gi-oh cards/matchbox cars/batteries for his duel disc/bag of skittles(had to spend the last 50 cents)..it was a lot of fun to watch him carefully select each gift...he was very excited with his presents and we told him he could not have them till his birthday so we could wrap them all up...well, steve had a great idea to surprise nate and upgrade the monopoly game to the new electronic debit card version...so when nathan opened the gift last night, you can only imagine how excited he was !!...and i have to say its pretty cool !! we are having fun playing with it today...last night at fridays, we told the waiter it was nathans birthday and everyone came singing and when they were done nathan quietly said 'boy, that was sooooo embarrassing'...brings back childhood memories for me...gotta go...monopoly is waiting for me and you get $ 2,000,000.00 each time you pass go...seriously...how cool is that....
