I'm a middle school math teacher, living in Arizona. I'm married to the love of my life, Aaron, and we have two beautiful girls: Amy (5) and Lauren (1).
Tonight we had our very first official Family Game Night. We've tried to play games as a family before, but as I've said in earlier posts, Amy does not like to sit for too long. When we play Candy Land, Shoots and Ladders, or Memory she usually gives up before the game is over just because she's bored or tired of sitting. So, I was checking out blogs today and came across one that was suggested by my wonderful mother-in-law called Mommy's Kitchen. The creator of the blog talked about her weekly family dessert/game night. I was excited about the idea and ran right out to the store to buy Twister and ingredients to make a giant chocolate chip cookie. I knew Amy would LOVE Twister because it's such an active game. We had a great time playing the game and everyone loved their dessert. I think we'll start this tradition off as an every-other Saturday thing.
It really is the perfect game for her. I can't believe I didn't think of it earlier. And the chocolate chip cookie brought back memories for Aaron. He says you used to make that for birthdays when he was a kid. What a great idea!
It looks like you all are having sooooo much fun! What a great game for our Amy Girl! XXXOOO
