Good Fun!

So what do you do after you have eaten so much that you can't eat no more?

Board games of course.

Here is my favorite game, Settlers of Catan. Zack and I taught my nephew Brandon and Mark how to play it. Pastor Brandon (sorry to be so formal and all but I don't want everyone confusing you with my previously mentioned nephew) can appreciate this picture of Zack asking his dad what he would like to trade. I think Mark got just as frustrated with Zack as Pastor Brandon did when we played it in Chicago with the "that doesn't even make sense" trades Zack tries to offer.


I also warned both Mark and my nephew not to tell Zack what they had in their hand just in case Zack draws a Monopoly card and my quick learnin' hubby used it against Zack and me.


Pastor Brandon does this sound familiar...

Mark: "Zack you got any ore?"

Zack: "Yeah, but I'm not giving it to you!"

Mark: "Jen you got any ore?"

Jen: "Yeah but I really can't trade it."

Mark flips his Monopoly card and says (all proud of himself like), "Everyone hand over your ore."

Zack and Jen: "That's just not right!"

Then Mark proceeded to laugh so hard Zack asked him if he was going to be okay because Mark's face was beat red and he started coughing like crazy. That'll teach him to not be so scandalous. I had to include that last word (scandalous) 'cause it was Zack's "word of the day" apparently because he kept repeating it.



Mark had just tons of energy because he had spent the afternoon at my mother's house doing a lot of this during the football game...


Note the remote on his lap even though he fell asleep for almost an hour and then the rest of the guys had to watch the football game over his snoring. I am glad he feels so at home my my father's chair.



Smiles!
