All work & [some] play.


I'm happy to report that we're all caught up on sleep and ready to take on the early mornings, proper bedtimes, and routines (we've never been good at these last two, but swear to change each year).  The mound of paperwork is cleared.  Supplies bought.  Laundry DONE.  Friday Night Lights... 3 seasons in and only 2 1/2 more to go.  Priorities straight.

Amidst cleaning, paperwork- and television, we celebrated a couple of birthdays... and played the funnest* games EVER.  I realize 'fun & games' are not at the top of everyone's mind bright & early on Monday morning, but seriously- keep these in mind if you need to buy a gift for a family, a teenager, or that relative in which you have no idea what to buy- or if you're ever looking for an activity that is both simple (unlike some of the other fun, but long & somewhat complicated group games out there), enjoyable, and laughter-inducing for both kids & adults... the savvy & not-so-savvy player.

Hope you leave room for some play in your week :).

*I am well aware that "funnest" is not actually a word.

    We are all about games in this house. Can't wait until B is old enough for ones like this.

    Catchphrase is up there on my favorites list, but all time favorite is Celebrity. Have you guys ever played that?

    OK, what am I missing with FNL? I watched the first episode and felt pretty "eh" about it, but everyone I know (with good taste) adores it!

    Talk to me about how you take on the early mornings please!!! I have been in an all out sweat trying to get the kids out the door by 7:50. It's brutal! This morning was pure chaos while trying to get everyone to eat, get dressed, brush teeth etc.... meanwhile, my son gets on the microphone and start singing: "I'm not going to eat my breakfast" in a jazzy sort of tune that is burned into my brain now.
