The kids have been anxious to try out some of the games that they got for Christmas, so tonight we tried Kerplunk. This was my favorite game when I was a kid. I was SO excited that we found it! So Bianka and Lexi helped put all of the marbles in and then we one by one pulled out the sticks. I have no idea how, but we played like ten times, and I lost every time!! I was amazed to see that the girls did really well with taking turns, and they were really good sports too! Bianka actually put some of my marbles in her dish so that I could win once! It was really cute. Because tonight went so well I have deemed every Friday night family game night! I am kind of excited that the girls are old enough now to be able to sit down and participate in family activities without it being a living nightmare!
Have you ever sat down and realized that your kids are growing up, and you haven't even noticed? It is sad really. I would have never imagined the Lexi would get the concept of a board game, or be patient enough to play it. It is amazing how time passes and you think that everything stays the same, but things are changing all the time, you just don't pay enough attention to notice it. At least that is how my life has been lately. It is easy to get caught up in the everyday craziness and not pay attention to the things that really matter.

Hey Chrissy! Hope you guys are having a good year so far. I looked
at your blog the other day....the girls are getting so big! Hope to
see ya soon....
Calle still doesn't get the whole concept of games. If it doesn't have to do with her babies, she doesn't care. Looks like you guys had fun though!
Hello, Hello from the us down under. You knew the girls' were smart when they didn't want to go around Josh and now they're proving to be amazing! We're moving the 26th so the four of you must come visit! Until we meet again..
