Snow day declared! I have spent one too many snow days "catching up" on stuff. I was on a mission. "Let's see how many games we can play!!!" Start time: 10am

7. Candy Land
8. Find It
9. Balloon Lagoon
10. Monkeying Around
11. I Spy Eagle Eye
12. Chutes & Ladders
Ok, ok so we were DONE by noon...but still...not a bad effort. Now think about the insanity of setting up one game with your kid, playing and then cleaning it up. WE DID TWELVE. Have you fully comprehended this feat? I prepped the next while playing and we cleaned up as we went. There was no time for fighting about game pieces or who won more than the other. I stressed that this was about the overall accomplishment and not the wins/losses which instantly erased the whines of the loser. Just for that it was worth it. Plus, I got a ton of games that had made their way out of the cabinet back into their parking spot.
Oh, I did my cleaning and such today but for 2 hours straight I played on the floor with my kids. Sometimes we just need a day to play on the floor.
