Hearts

While Ethan was off singing at church choir this morning, Madeleine decided to come up with an alternative way to play a four-person Hearts game:

Jesus, Saoirse, and Puff-Puff gathered around the table to play with Madeleine.  Because it was their first time ever playing Hearts, Madeleine wrote out some instructions for them: 

"Whoever has the hihist card of the riht sout suit take's thow's card's and make's a pile with them near them.  If you don't have the riht suit, then you pick a difrint card to sh  To shoot the moon you have to get all the pount's.  Otherwise youd just get a lot of pount's."

I think that all made perfect sense to Jesus, Saiorse and Puff-Puff, because the game began, with Madeleine playing each card for each inanimate object.  I imagine that was pretty tedious, which explains why the score card currently reads:

Searsha:
Puffpuff:
Jeasy:


Luckily, Daddy is now home from singing, so a 4-person game with actual humans has taken over the stuffed animal posse.
