| We so needed this as a family. Mike is during his busy nursery season and is exhausted in the evening, falling asleep really early. The kids were craving his time and attention. We had a fabulous day.
The games we played

Blink. This is a fast paced, 2 person game where you race to empty your pile by laying down cards that fit either by shape, color or number to the card piles in the middle of the playing area. S (3) even played, though anyone who played her went at her pace. And rumor has it, that I am the one to beat. Great game!

Last Word. There are category cards and letter cards. Pick a category and a letter card and everyone tries to name something from that category beginning with that letter. Get in the last word before the end of the time and you or your team moves forward. Even Z (6) could manage answers by using phonics sounds. Mike and I played alone and in teams. Another winner.
We also completed a 500 piece puzzle that has been out for 2 weeks. When I want to get any of the men talking in this house, I pull out my secret weapon, and get them busy with their hands. Try it! Even if only a few pieces get in at a time, it’s a great way to unwind and ‘get in their heads”.
And for our Good Eats!
