It's been a while since I posted anything, so I am playing catch-up. Sorry! We love board games in this house, and we hardly ever get to play them since most of them take forever to play. Over Spring Break, we whipped out the old "Life" board and went at it.
We are all sticklers for playing by the rules. Instead of reading the rules before the game begins and following them throughout the game, we wait until one player accuses another of trying to get away with a move that may be illegal. The game comes to a standstill while the accuser peruses the rules for 27 minutes looking for the potential broken rule, until he or she discovers that the accused didn't actually break any rules. That's not what was happening when I took the above picture, but I needed something more interesting than "Daddy's silly and Charlie's bored."
I got trounced pretty well. Note (ha-ha) the small pile of bills and the red promisory note before me.

Now Charlie's being silly, and Daddy's probably bored. (See picture 1 description if you didn't get that joke.)
Ummm...Charlie won. More importantly, what are those blotchies on his shirt? Who does the laundry around here? Oh, wait...it isn't me so I better shut up.
