So today is a simple minded focus but one a lot of people tend to over look...and that is FAMILY TIME. A focus for 2008 - more family time. Some people think with a big family you can't do much to have fun, but that is not at all the truth. You just have to be inventive.
We play board games, but we really like the other type of a family game....
The other type of family time we have and it may sound "wierd" to some is combat......yep I typed that correctly combat. We each have a nerf dart gun that shoots these little styrofoam bullets with either a suction cup or a velcro patch at the end. So to to play we dress in all black or another dark color....turn off all the lights in the house and go to war. Now some people may think it's not a game we should play but it's no different then contact football. We have so much fun doing this, the boys especially think it is the best thing ever. Justin, my boyfriend, even went so far as to get that under the eye black make-up and ski masks, the kids get a real kick out of it. The boys have gotten really good at hiding and sneaking up on us and just have a blast when they "shoot" us.

We have the nerf dart guns... SOoooo much fun! It has become Christmas tradition that our extended family bring their guns and we have an all out war Christmas afternoon. :D
I really like your first shot with all the games, so colorful and really nice focus.
How fun!!!
How fun! Can I come play??
I love to play games! I am so glad DD has the game bug too. Like how you stacked the games. You got some nice focus on them.
I think that it sounds like fun. I will have to try it with my family.
I think that's great, I'd like to play combat with my family too when the boys get a bit older. Thanks for the tip.
We are hard core board gamers here, but haven't thought of combat. I am sure my girls would like it too. Great job.
You're a brave woman. It drives me nuts when my kids are running crazy around the house, so I try to avoid such games. hehe Glad it's fun for you guys though!!
Nice focus on family.
Family fun time is a great thing! I love your shots!

So much fun. We have the same nerf equipment and run all over the house. We even turn Chess into a loud sport game.
Nice Focus
How neat!! Sounds like a fun game!! I grew up playing a lot of games and still play them when I get together with my family!
What a fun idea! I'm sure it'll be lots of fun! =)
