fun and games

When Emily was sick last week, it was clear that it was a sign for us to have a relaxing home day.  And around this time of year, it means playing games.  For us, it was morning, noon and night, and then through the weekend.  I had my knitting handy, which always helps me pass the time, and thoroughly enjoy just about any game my kids want to play.  As the kids get older, there are so many more options.  For now, though, we are sticking to basics.

As Emily generally has a "no winning game" approach, sometimes the games get re-interpreted.  We turn them into cooperative games, or, perhaps better yet, chess becomes a wedding scene!
