games

Matix and Hawken got quite a few games this year, and have been LOVING playing with them. They are really good at following directions and remembering all the rules. Paul even tried to shorten a game by skipping one of the steps, but the boys wouldn't have it. :)
Every day we have played at least one round of games. Memory, Jenga, 5 Monkeys, and Candyland are all regular activities in the house now.  The only problem is that Lullaby is a mover and will move game pieces from the board to another area of the house, regularly. It's tricky to keep her away, but she is getting better about just moving other things, shoes, keys, etc.

I'm so glad the boys enjoy playing games other than electronics.

Isn't it so fun that they are getting older and able to do more fun things like this?! Totally know what you mean about the "mover" part though. That q-tip activity you invented for her was genius, I may need to get a toothpick holder like that for myself because I think Marissa would love that!

It's the beginning of a time-honored tradition in this family!
