How I stayed sane today

Can I just tell you about the worlds best "game"? Eden is in week three and the "babymoon" is over! She is still a very good baby, but let's just say she's getting slightly more high maintenance. This leaves Ty feeling a bit overlooked and BORED! He does not understand why I cannot fix him a snack, play a game, button his pants, play Lego's and nurse the baby all at once. This leaves me feeling a bit FRUSTRATED! Anyway...let's just say that I've played more kids games than I've cared to ( all in the name of love for my Ty)! Today we pulled out my favorite "game" (Ty's favorite too if I had to guess). It's called Pattern Play (by Mindware). It has like 40 design cards that you recreate using the blocks and board. It is actually fun! It's not brainless and can challenge even me :) (on a less than stellar day). Ty is so proud of himself when he can do part of a design by himself...he requires a little help on the puzzles, but he is getting better at it each time we play. So, if you're looking for an alternative to Chutes and Ladders or Candyland...let me tell you, this is it!

P.S. Another good game...Balloon Lagoon by Cranium. Totally fast playing and hardly painful :)

I'm going to have to check these games out. We are addicted to Zingo and Guess Who, but I can hardly take it any more.

Four years. Four. That was the length of my blog break.   I'm guessing that whomever once followed me will not be here anymore, and ...
