Raffles

Ever since she won the ice cream maker, Clara has been very big on the concept of raffles. Tonight, she gathered a collection of "prizes" (aka "junk") in a big box, and wrote the names of all of her friends and family members on slips of paper. Trevi's frequent MO is to copy what his sister is doing, so he gathered his own prizes and made his own tickets. Before long, raffle time was declared by both of them. But here's the devastatingly cute part: They each let the other one win their raffle! Trevi intentionally chose Clara's ticket for his raffle, and she followed suit. Oh my gosh, sometimes these kids are just too much.
From Trevor's prize bin, Clara chose a microscope slide with a slice of an ostrich feather. Trevi's big win earned him a heart-shaped plastic slinky. Big night in our household. Yes sirree.
ETA: Clara's Science teacher was kind enough to put Clara's slide on the microscope the next day, and project it for all the class to see. Clara achieved hero status.
Trevi's slinky was inextricably tangled within five minutes of his taking possession of it.
