We all want to start the new year off good. People diet, stop smoking, exercise more, and much much more resolutions are made.
Why dont people say hey Im gonna go to church more, read my bible more, play with my kids more? Why I am guilty of this too. I want to do all these things. Why do i put things that are so important on the back burner and things that are stupid and meaning less on the front?
Wayne and I have been trying and trust me it hasn't been an effort to play a game with the kids each night. WE play the wii with them alot. But we find ourselfs wanting to play something a little more old fashion with them.Hence the picture to the left. Take a gander at this little game. Its called WAHOO. We play this with our kids almost every night.
(btw the date on my pictures are wrong i havent figured out how to set the date on my camera lol.)
Ok so Christmas has come and gone and my parents gave my kids the best present ever. Take a look at this.
My mom confided in me it almost cost her their marraige and about 90 bucks per checker board. (my dad made 5 lol) rofl. But this is my kids favorite presents. A home made checker board. WE fixing to play a game of it right her in the living room as my hubby watches the bama texas game (GO BAMA) ROLL TIDE or what ever they say. My hubby is a bama boy lol. he has instilled this in his children.
So my challange to you is Play a game with your kids try to do it every day. But if you cant do it every day do it some dont kick yourself if you forget or get busy. But i promise playing a game with your kids will help keep those lines of comunication open. OH and letting them win some helps too. :)

I'm glad you are writing and I love the pictures of the old games!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me miss the fact that my brother doesn't live close. We used to have game night...nothing wrong with spreading a little hate and discontent (accusing each other of cheating) with family and friends! lol
