Games

We love games.  We have tons of games.  We collect games like some people collect movies and music and stamps.  :)  Games are such a great way for kids to learn valuable life lessons like sharing, taking turns, laughing at yourself, good sportsmanship, and being a good loser and a gracious winner.  A while back we got Battleship and it has become a fast favorite as we square off in teams.  While Dan and I duke it out with a child on each side, Karsten navigates no-man’s land, often with a few stolen game pieces in tow.

Next time you’re tempted to turn on the TV, pull out a game instead.  Your kids will thank you and you’ll find your day brightened by the effort.

After the kids went to bed, Dan and I had our own game night with Battleship and Rummikub.

Can you tell how much Dan LOVES my picture-taking fanaticism?  Yeah.  He loves it.  So much.

Good thing he loves me, because if it was just my camera, it would have met its doom long ago.  ♥♥♥
