I asked them to explain how they did it...all wrong! Maybe that is the problem with your mental math.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-19778272281525588802011-09-09T08:33:50.403-06:002011-09-09T08:33:50.403-06:00That is quite the coming into the world story.

Sorry is even part of our family lore- my mother was overdue to give birth to my sister, and a hearty game of Sorry had her laughing so much that she brought on labor with the guffaws and giggles.G-Slicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14396736426581551485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-90067153406785606642011-04-05T15:44:08.614-06:002011-04-05T15:44:08.614-06:00Scrabble Confession: Sometimes when we play in the...Scrabble Confession: Sometimes when we play in the evening and Matt takes too long between words I have been know to fall asleep. It is certainly not...shall we say... fast paced. This was much more prevalent when it was the only game I could get him to play.

I like pick-one scrabble, or speed scrabble some people call it. But I love the idea of photographing the board at the end - I'm going to tell my mom and aunts, who play wicked cutthroat scrabble. My favorite word game is probably Scattergories or Taboo.<br /><br />We play lots of cards, actually.

I WISH I had a photo of every game! That would be SO neat! I am going to try to start that tradition. I am hit or miss currently, usually documenting boards with high scores or unique words. <br /><br />Triominos? I've never even heard of it! Oooh, a new game for me to be on the look out for! Thanks for the suggestion.<br /><br />Apples to Apples is perhaps the greatest large-group game in my opinion.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-31666807512013154252011-04-04T09:14:59.610-06:002011-04-04T09:14:59.610-06:00Scrabble is our ALL TIME family fave.

Also I keep all the score sheets complete with hilarious snarky comments scribbled in the margins and then I read them as the years pass. Strange but true. I love your shelves of games. Have you tried Triominos or Apples to Apples? Both very fun as well. Of course the strategy folks in our house love chess.Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924043596033516959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-83772311947238342622011-04-01T07:56:35.388-06:002011-04-01T07:56:35.388-06:00Well, I like National Geographic so I bet their ga...Well, I like National Geographic so I bet their game would be swell. I hope it has good photos. That was always the best part of NatGeo for me.<br /><br />I've talked with Matt about how we should make up our own game, but it hasn't happened yet. I think it would be hard, but fun. <br /><br />There was a time when I couldn't get Matt to play anything BUT Scrabble. It is still an all-time household favorite. (We even have a little Excel spreadsheet of our Scrabble scores so we have an on going championship...we are so nerdy.... I think Matt is the reigning champ.)BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-21373187181273358872011-04-01T05:19:46.774-06:002011-04-01T05:19:46.774-06:00My kids love Monopoly, whereas Scrabble is my favo...My kids love Monopoly, whereas Scrabble is my favourite.

My family also plays pinochle almost unhealthily when we are all together. My sister also made up her own version of Clue that is kind of complicated but fun and challenging. My sister likes to change the rules to everything, which can have really fantastic results.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155841244685348056noreply@blogger.com
