Family Game Night

Last Saturday night we had a game night with the kids. It was better then we expected! I highly recommend it.  Kevin said "It was a blast."

The first game we played was Stay Alive. It was easy for the boys to figure out, and Gwyn was able to move for me. The game moved fast, and set up and clean up was simple. We played two rounds, and both games came down to K3 and Colin. K3 won both games.

 

The second game we played was charades. Since the boys can read, they chose to be on a team together. They were quite excited about being a team against the parents. All the cards had animals on them. This was the best time of the night! I was surprised how creative the boys were on their own when acting out animals. Colin crawled on all fours, layed down, crawled, layed down. We couldn't figure out what it was until K3 yelled "cat!" He was right. K3 explained to me that Colin was walking then napping. Because that is what cats do! Then K3 had to be a fish, and he was shaking his little bottom. Adorable. Gwyn even played snake, and without any help with acting, she crawled very low and stuck her tongue in and out. Her brothers guessed it. The award for acting goes to Colin though, when he tried to get his brother to guess cow. Crawling and eating wasn't enough, so Colin starting milking himself on his belly. The boys won, but that was because Colin was the score keeper. At one point was all had guessed the animals, but somehow the score was 5 to 9. Hmmmm...

The third game was played was Uno, which Colin won. A great game for kids. The last game was Sorry! It took a while for the game to end, since we were all waiting for the exact card to get our last pieces into home.

The entire night was so much fun. There were those moments where we didn't play as hard as we should, which in one case meant that Kevin (dad) didn't get Colin out in Sorry!, only to have Colin get him out on the very next play with a different piece. It was nice to see Kevin being nice to the kids like that, since he was brutal to me. (In the first game Stay Alive, I was working on making sure Colin's last marble was safe while my hubby was slowly eliminating my marbles. He seemed quite proud until I told him what I was doing.) We can not wait until the next game night!
