Game on!

We are game laden at the Williamsons!  Rarely a day goes by when there isn't at least one rousing game of Uno, Go Fish, Sorry, Candy Land, Hi Ho CherryO, Chutes and Ladders, Don't Break the Ice, Cars Memory, Princess Memory, Toy Story Memory (aaaah!)  etc. etc.  One of my favorite things about this is that it has really helped Jack learn his numbers and he can play most of these games independently now (without being on a team with Mommy or Daddy).  He is a card shark and loves to pay Uno and Go Fish.  One funny thing is that when a person gets down to one card in Go Fish, Jack makes us yell "Go Fish!!!" (just like in Uno!)  Cracks me up every time!!! 

Kate has become quite the strategist and likes to save up the "good" cards in her hand until the end to blast us all!  Her favorite game is Disney's Scene It which we all love!  Thanks Santa!  We are so busy already with school, dance class, mommy working two nights per week, lots of weekend plans and the kids are only 3 and 5!!!  Playing games together is a great way to share some laughs and quality time and we LOVE it!  Kate even writes about all her game playing in her journal at school, which is a sure sign that it has a positive impact!
