Game Day...ALL DAY LONG!!!


The boys have really taken an interest in board games (all sorts) lately, and this morning Carson wanted to play one of my old school board games (Rdg./Lang. game that I used when I taught 3rd grade). They love it b/c it is a racing game...I really have to water the questions down, but Carson does well!! After playing that, we played Candy Land and Guess Who...I love these old games that were some of my favorites!!

Barrett beat us both in Guess Who and Candy Land...I didn't stand a chance in Candy Land. I always lost in that game too!!! This afternoon when they got up from their naps, they played this basketball game - they LOVED it!! They played for probably a good hour!

As you can see in the picture...Barrett has that tongue out again!!




Of course right now...everything is a race with the boys, so tonight's basketball game was no different!! They made me set a timer for a minute to see who could get the most baskets...and low and behold - Barrett won again!!!
Here is a video of the race...

We also played Clue Jr. (I like that game...much easier for me to understand)! After dinner, the whole family went outside and played baseball for a while. We finished up by taking a walk around the complex to visit all the geese at the four ponds. We had quality family time tonight. It was a lot of fun...and it was very nice to be able to spend some time together!!

I love it that the boys are enjoying games so much and that you are playing them as a family. That's just great. Your boys won't remember the plots of TV shows or movies nearly as much as they will remember the memories they are making by playing together as a family. Your boys will NOT want you to go back to work--ever!
