Let the Games Begin

Since life is so boring around here, John and I have been trying out some new games to spice things up a little bit.

For example, this morning after I loaded the boys up in the van I realized that the battery was dead. I immediately knew that John had left the interior lights on after vacuuming the van out last weekend. Then I realized that he was trying out one of our new games called "Mommy the Mechanic". It is a super fun game where I have to try and remember where the secret hood release is located on the floor in the van. Then I have to quickly locate and hook up the portable charger onto the battery before any of the boys get out of their car seats. Today I set a new PR of 5.32!

I told John that the battery is getting too easy for me and he should switch to the bonus round and screw with the brake lines or maybe siphon out all of the gas. That will create some excitement for me and the boys.

Tonight we tried out another game called "Clean or Dirty" where somebody has a basket full of clothes and they have to figure out if it is clean or dirty. Tonight's game was challenging because it contained BOTH dirty AND clean clothes. John is trying to set a PR for the most times that somebody has washed the SAME load of laundry.

The nice thing about the game "Clean or Dirty" is that you can play it with the dishwasher too for an additional challenge.

We can't let the boys have ALL the fun by themselves, now can we?
