Uno

Today I got to babysit for the first time in, I guess, a month and a half. It feels like forever! I had no idea how much I missed the kids I babysit. Of course I think about them while there at school but I was so excited to get to see them and play with them!
Tonight I babysat the family of 3 little girls! The baby played with us for about an hour. Watching the older sisters play with a stage made out of a milk carton. So clever! Then it was my turn to perform on the stage then Chloe, the baby kept messing it up. But that was ok. It was time to put her to bed anyway. I hadn't put her to bed with her new routine. I turned on her rain music and the second I did, she started crying. I though Aww! she was having so much fun that she didn't want to go to sleep. But I put her in her bed and closed the door after 2 minutes, she was out. I was really impressed at how fast she fell asleep.
I walked into the other room to play with the girls for another hour and the younger sister who's 3 wanted to play Uno. I looked at the box and it had never been opened also it said 7+ so I was a little worried she would be good at playing. Honestly it wasn't that bad, the 3 year old can play Uno now. Although I did tell her what to play but I would let her choose which card to play.
So we opened the deck I shuffled and delt the cards. I didn't do a very good job shuffling because at times we would draw several cards of the same color so someone would have to draw 5+ cards before they got a usable card sometimes. Oops.
7yr old's hand at one point she had 13 cards

3yr olds hand, this is how she played. We laid them out and
it was easy for her to see them too.

My hand. Unfortunatly this is when I had a handful of 12 cards.
I should be glad I never had 13.
 So we had the deck I would tell the 3 year old "Play your blue one now." "Oh you have a 3 play that." "Use your wild and say what card." It was lots of fun and the time flew by really fast. I let them stay up a little past their bed time finish the game. I ended with 3 cards, the 7 year old won, and the 3 year old came in second place. I could have let her come in 1st but I wanted to give the 7 year old a chance, I didn't know what card she had. But it was lots of fun!

What are the chances of this ever happening? Well it did between the 3yr old and 7yr old.
I got to watch. Although I was helping the 3yr old so I was a part of it.
