Date Night- Game Mania



Andrew was in charge of this night. We simaltaneously played four games. It got a little crazy! We played backgammon, dominoes, chess, & checkers. We had a bean bag for each game that we used to mark whose turn it was. So basically we just ran around looking for a bean bag on our side and took our turn and then threw the bean bag back on the other side. We tried to finish within a time limit, which I think started at half an hour, but we were having so much fun we ended up just finishing all of the games no matter how long it took. I discovered that I don not have the skills to play more than one strategy game at a time. I was so confused with the chess game. I lost that one so fast! Andrew totally beat me. He won backgammon, dominoes, and chess. I managed to win checkers. I think we will definately repeat this date night.

Dinosaur Museum

For Andrew's birthday, one of the things we did was go to a dinosaur museum. Even though this wasn't a dinosaur we thought it was fun! It was pretty crowded. Miles was especially having fun exploring his vocal chords but since it was loud anyway, no one could really hear him. It was perfect!



Their absolute favorite was "digging" for dinosaur bones at the end. They didn't quite work together and so they were constantly finding and covering the same bone the whole time.

Adelia's room

This is an art project I did on Adelia's wall inspired by my sister-in-law, Tonia. The butterflies are made out of paper. I thought it turned out pretty cool.
