Post-Dinner Games

Sometimes there is so little going on and we are so on schedule with everything and our kids are clean enough to skip baths (usually only on Sundays) that we have time to play games after dinner. Tonight, we started with Simon Says, moved on to Ring Around the Rosie and London Bridges, and ended up, as always, wrestling. I noticed something about each of the kids tonight. First, no matter how hard I tried I could not trick my son in Simon Says. Second, our oldest daughter is able to lead Simon Says. Third, our youngest daughter can now play Ring Around the Rosie, not only that but she threw a fit when we stopped. Most of all, it was a reminder how much I love my family. There is nothing like having nothing to do but laugh and play, though you should see two adults trying to do some of the things Simon said when our two oldest took turns as Simon. We looked pretty goofy and got a good laugh. Too often there is too much to do.
