Sunday night I told the kids I had a new game to play. It was a game my cousins from California (who I always thought were so cool) played when they came to Arizona in the summer. You take a saucer cup of flour and press it very tight in the cup, put a plate on top and turn it over. Tap the cup and slowly lift the cup and you have this flour molded like the cup. Next you put a nickel or dime on top of the flour cup. Take a butter knife and everyone takes turns slicing the the flour but you don't want the coin to fall, but when it does the person that it falls on has to pick up the coin with their mouth. You can't use your hands, so has you can see your face is covered in flour. The grandkids loved it! Of course I never wanted to make it fall so I wouldn't get flour all over me----well they thought that was the best part! They loved digging for the coin with their face buried in the flour. The 3 little ones didn't really play, but Landon and Carter wanted to get their faces dirty too! Of course Miss Kennedi just smiled and didn't want to get that pretty little face messy. Cheryl & Johnny do you remember playing this?
