It's been over 5 years since we decided to cut off our cable television.  Living in a valley means that we don't have access to ANY tv channels (not even the local stations).  Some people have asked us if we could get them with an antenna - maybe so.  But, the fact is, we don't want them.  We're perfectly content to miss out on most of the current tv programming; and we enjoy watching movies from our own collection or from Netflix.  (We recently discovered that, through Netflix, the girls can watch many of their Disney channel favorites right on the computer!) 

Anyway, I just read that Hasbro (game company) has deemed TONIGHT as National Family Game Night.  I must admit that we often don't take the time to play games - we all want to, but it seems like someone is always too busy - and you know how much more fun games are with a crowd.  So, I think we'll pack up early for our trip to Williamsburg (leaving tomorrow morning) and take some time to play some of our favorite games.  Why don't YOU do the same?

Leave a comment, telling me what your favorite family game is.  We're currently enjoying Life Twists and Turns and an old game we recently acquired called This Game is Bonkers.

We love games to but we dont usually get alot of time to play them. One of our favorites is Catch Phrase and we do love Yathzee.

yet often don't seem to find time for them. This fall I've assigned Thursday evenings as our "Family Game Nights."

Let's see . . . Upwords, backgammon, Blokus, Rummikub, the Narnia game, Monopoly and chess are some of the ones we play around here.
