No, not that SNL.
It was Saturday Night FUN at the Parr house...which means Monopoly, of course!
Dave bought Monopoly Here and Now home last night, and so you know we had to break into it tonight, after dinner (most of which was Vegan-fare, by the way)! Shelby was at her best friend's house for a sleepover, so we definitely wanted to do something fun with Tori and Ash.
Bring on the pain! We Parrs are a competitive bunch of nerds, especially when it comes to board games.
I gotta tell ya...this version is way tougher to get the hang of. All of us had a hard time getting used to the larger denominations of $$ (you start out with 2 million, as opposed to $1500 in the "old" version). And forget the Railroads...now they're major US airports.
Oh, as far as tokens go...Dave chose to be the Toyota Prius (no surprise there, he's a car guy).
Tori was the Laptop (Of COURSE...she's my computer kiddo).
Ashlyn chose the Motorola RAZR cellphone
And I chose the Starbucks coffee cup!
If anyone's keeping score, Ashlyn whipped us but good! That is, she was in the lead till Lolo interrupted the game and we had to stop playing. ;-)

Oh man, I want an invite to the next Monopoly night!
We bought that game recently, too. Mom the Math Nazi was sold on the money in larger denominations (bring on the 6- and 7-digit numbers!) Thanks for your kind comment. I'm up for caffeine and commiseration any time.
