Enjoy your kid-free time!
But it does make me feel bad for having done nothing all weekend, except turn on the water sprinklers. Oh yeah and I went with Shannon and the girls on Saturday to the farmers market and picked up some nice loaves of bread.
Sunday was gaming day where I did practically nothing but played board games with Shannon and the girls. I think we managed to fit in 8 games yesterday...
Shannon, Shaelyn and I started with Aquaretto:
where I managed to pull out a good win because of my feeders
We then went to a cooperative game - Pandemic:
In our first game the Asian epidemic beat us rather quickly. In our second game it was looking pretty bleak with several outbreaks but we managed to get the job done and save the world.
Then Kaleigh wanted to play one of her games so Shaelyn and I got into it with her by playing "Littlest Pet Shop"
Kaleigh got the first win and then Shaelyn squeaked out the second one. I was never really close in either game.
Then Shannon and I decided to sit down and learn a game we've had for awhile but never got around to playing - Camelot Legends
I thought I had a good lead build up and managed to make Arthur the High King, but Shannon and Lancelot came along and stole that title and with it the victory of the game.
The second game however, I learned from her treachery and stole it from her and gave it to Sir Lionel and managed a runaway victory.
To end the evening Shaelyn wanted to play again so we decided to help the Pirates with their escape and played Cartagena II.
The scurvy dog pirates Shannon and Shaelyn tried their best to prevent me and my mateys from making it to the hideout, but in the end the cards weren't with them and they went down to visit Davey Jones...
Then the girls went to bed and Shannon and I watched "Burn after Reading" and were not impressed.
But I think today I am going to pay for the lazy days. Got LOTS of chores that need to be done today.
Just not right now ...
it's not any honeymoon yet...they are still peeved as am I. We have yet to broker our peace. I'm hoping next week will aide in that process

loved how ridiculous Brad Pitt was 
What didn't you enjoy in it?
Ken, the games sound fun. Do you and Shannon play against yourselves and that is enough to make them interesting for you? I've always wanted to play with 3 or more to get a board game going.
Hmmmmmm, Paul and I loved "Burn after Reading" it was such a farce, one had to suspend belief and just ride with it
So are Gaylean, Jon and the kids coming camping up with you?
). But really the bread is the best

, maybe next year it'll work out. 
, Ken and I play games with just us, plus we are friends with another gamer-couple and try to get together on weekends for a gaming night. A lot of it depends on the game. Carcassone is great with 2-players with lots of "screw-you" opportunities if you like that sort of thing Last cruise we actually sat up by the kids pool on day and played Carcassone while the girls were playing in the pool. Now lunch time is over, and I must get back to work. But before I go, here a big HELLO to everybody!
you'll sick the Mafia on the kids!
Now I'm really getting back to work. :wave
Apparently you weren't the only one to really like that game. In 1980 it was a Spiel Des Jahres recommendation (Spiel Des Jahres is a "Game of the Year" award decided annually by a jury of German game critics).
I even see that it is selling on e-bay for $80.00 (USD)!!!

not sure a soft heart is what's needed. I'm to much of a softie.
I'm looking for a tough guy for sure
Hey, don't forget all the other healthy food we bought too (apricots, blueberries, spinach, snowpeas, orange beets, cilantro, and cauliflower
Hi Nan - glad to hear that you are sticking up for yourself at home
Jon couldn't get his holidays so we had to cancel for this year ,maybe next year it'll work out.
Brad Pitt's character was the best part of the movie, but overall I thought it took too long to get going, and then it just ended with a whimper.

Sounds like next cruise, we should have a game night/day

just kidding, I think it's fish on the grill for dinner tonight and that means grilled veggies too We are gamers too...Paul and I met and ended up with a first date based on the outcome of a thumb wrestling match. And a bit of liars dice thrown in the middle for fun
Now I'm really getting back to work. :wave
Who, me???
