Family Game Night

Last night we attended the first "Family Game Night" at the boys' school. They've been so excited to go to this for the last week. However, Jantzen came home sick from school on Tuesday, so I don't think he was as excited to go anymore. I gave him the option of coming or staying home and he chose to go and play games. When we got there he didn't want to play anything though, he just wanted to sit down and relax. Jaron jumped right into playing games with Jace. The first game they played was "Blockus". I had never heard of that game, but Jaron said he played it last year in G.A.T.E. and he loved it. I'm not sure who won, but I could tell they were all having a good time.


Then Jaron and Jace went to play "Headbandz". It's a game where you have a head band with a picture on it, but you can't see what your picture is, you have to ask the other person questions to figure it out. The boys were being silly and giggling like little girls the whole time.



Jaedyn thought she needed to come and join in on the fun they were having. She interrupted them several times just so she could get a hug from Jaron, it was so cute and she was having a good time.


After Jaedyn was done with Jaron she went over to try and play with Jantzen. She was offering him her sippy, but he wasn't in the mood to play around with her. He had a headache and didn't want to do anything but sit. I guess I should've just made him stay home with Josh.


This picture captures exactly how Jantzen was feeling...poor kid!


Jaedyn was being such a sweet little sister to Jantzen. She was giving him "loves", but again, he wasn't in the mood for anything. Even though Jantzen wasn't in the mood to play with her, she still had a fun time running around and eating popcorn with her daddy.


The last game Jaron and Jace played was "Scrabble". I actually joined them for this game (that's why there's no picture of it). We had fun playing this and Jaron won, I didn't do so well.

After game time was over, we all went back to the cafeteria and the school staff did a drawing for all the games everyone just played (I think there was about 80 of them). We were lucky and got picked to win a game. I let Jaron pick it out and, of course, he picked "Blockus". He said that it was his favorite game. We didn't even make it home before he started playing it again right in the hallway. I let him play a couple games before we went home and his teacher even got in on some play time with him.


Game night was actually pretty fun, even though Jantzen didn't play anything. I know it would've been more fun had he been feeling better. Hopefully next time he won't be sick and can join Jaron.
