Placing Bets

Last year at the GFL draft when we selected Austin Collie there were a few snickers. But Lucas had his heart set on him and Bryan and I felt like it couldn't hurt. As a family we had so much fun watching Collie play for the Colts and as a rookie have a great year. Before the Colts first playoff game Bryan made a challenge. He told Lucas, 'You only get ice cream tonight if Collie gets a touchdown before the half is over (Lucas had to go to bed at the half). I didn't think Collie was going to do it then--touchdown!

Sunday Bryan decided to do another challenge. 'You only get chocolate sauce on your ice cream if Collie gets a touchdown.' (We have ice cream most Sunday nights if you're wondering.) Lucas didn't like that idea. I said, 'I will make brownies tonight if Collie get's a touchdown.' We came home from church and watched the game. Collie did amazing and yes, he got that touchdown. We had a fun afternoon watching Collie play with the Colts, and after I made some yummy brownies.

We will probably be keeping Collie on our GFL team, the Toronto Yodas, and I don't think many will laugh at us now. So my question is this. What do we bet on for the Superbowl if Collie gets a touchdown?

(I don't have a clue who Collie is or what the heck the GFL draft is)

How about different parts of a full blown Sundae - the banana, ice cream (different scoops or flavors), toppings (chocolate, strawberry, caramel), sprinkles, whipped cream & a cherry if he likes that. Collie could help Lucas receive different parts for Lucas depending on how he well he plays.

Another fun thing would be a family night out to McDonalds or something he doesn't get very often -- maybe even a trip for dessert somewhere on Monday night.

You could make home made ice cream. Maybe Gariela could make some down there on the other continent too! :)
