Tonight we all came together for family game night! Riggs had really been wanting to play his new Life game from Christmas and tonight was the night! We had snacks and drinks...in our pajamas...fresh from baths...ready for a night around the kitchen table. I was sure there would be laughter and it would be amazing...and it did start off that way......
Riggs was so happy he was a doctor and was making the most money.......
SK was so happy to have the pink car and begin filling it full of children......
We laughed that Jeremy kept landing on twins and babies...and within minutes his Life car looked just like our truck in real life...full!!!
If I could insert sound effects this is where I put put a record scratch sound. Lila wanted to spin for every turn and spin it a few times each time....the cars kept getting spilled and all the tiny people could come out..pieces kept falling on the floor and we would have to get them out of Jack's mouth...and it was so much more complicated than I remember it being. Every turn was like multitasking...get paid....collect taxes...have a child...each player gift for the child...it was so much to keep track of for so many people. By the time a few of our cars reached the half way mark we were spent. We took a break and never came back...we abandoned our game of Life...to go have an impromptu dance party in our own life.
And it was so much more fun...
Maybe when they get a little bigger we will be able to finish a game of Life, but for now half a game will do!
