Ive just spent the WHOLE day playing Monopoly with my children. They added, subtracted, multiplied, worked out percentages, thought out strategies, competed against each other and teamed up to compete against me.  They wheeled and dealed and went to the brink of bankruptcy, then back again. It was great. But best of all, we talked, laughed, hugged, commiserated, bared teeth and smiled at each other all day.

What a fun way to work on our relationships with each other! I'll have to do this more often.
