Speaking of Dreidels

Who ever knew that a toy as simple as a little wooden top could cause so much excitment in a house with boys?

I'm loving it. I've never seen them so calm, and sit so long. Today we played Dreidel for almost 30 minutes. And after the Santa parade, the boys wanted to introduce Daddy to the game.

First big deal: Carson KNOWS the 4 Hebrew letters, and what they mean.

Second BIG deal: Wesley knows the Hebrew Letter, "hay." That's right, we're still working on the color red, but he knows "hay."

So, a brief reminder:
Shin (the one with 3 lines sticking up): Spin a Shin, Put one in
Hay (2 parallel lines with a hat): Spinner gets half the pot
Nun (looks like a fancy bracket): None. You got it. Do nothing.
Gimmel (a bracket who's foot isn't attached): Gimmme Gimme--I get the whole pot!
