A Hard Bargain

Zachary: "Mighty nice Lacrosse Ball you have there."

Henry: "I suppose I could part with this Special Lacrosse Ball for those stacks of cookies."

Eh hem...

Henry, stop trying to con your Uncle out of his snack.

Zachary, you have a dozen Lacrosse Balls exactly like that one. You don't need to give up your cookies for it!

Zachary: "But Mom, this one is special."
Henry: "You heard him Momma, Special!"

The Plan

A Wild West theme came to mind, with the boys using their favorite items for currency.

The Problems

I love this faux-leather background fabric. I waited months for it to go on sale, as I needed 2 yards and it was regularly $16 per yard. When I finally spotted it 60% off I snatched it up.

Imagine my disappointed when I realized how hard it was to take pictures of, as it had a nasty way of reflecting the flash - see New Sherriffs In Town.

The Solution

After spending way to much time in post-production every time I used it, I finally figured out to shove a plastic bowl between the top of the cardboard the fabric is draped over and the cabinets behind. That angles the board/fabric just enough to keep the glare to passing levels.
