sometimes it's just that easy...

we are headed out of town this weekend for a little fun. i mentioned to the kids that we will be staying in a hotel and part of the weekend just hanging out there. they responded by asking if we could bring monopoly.....

1. do they know how long it takes to play this game??
2. do they know how i cannot sit and be focused that long??
3.  DO I REALIZE THAT I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL THEY ARE STILL WANTING TO PLAY  BOARD GAMES WITH THEIR PARENTS??

so i said YES!

these pictures are from this past Thanksgiving weekend at my brother Jeff's house.

my nephew alex, brooke, and brady always seem to play a couple games of monopoly throughout the weekend.  i remember as a kid being able to sit and play a game that long but these days it drives me nuts.



however this weekend, for the kids, i will sit down with them to play.

no laundry, no schedule, no worries.
just FOUR LONG HOURS OF GAME TIME.

(does it really last that long??)

we have a surprise on our trip for the kids as well.

brooke and brady have no idea what we are doing.

pictures when we return.

this weekend, i hope you have some time to sit and play with your kids too.
