tgrimes and klong11 We will be the proud owners of the Fizz Factory and Egg Maker come Christmas morning. I can probably squeeze them between the Easy Bake Oven and Cotton Candy Maker of Christmas's past.

Help me with some board games and card games. My mom said all she wants for christmas is for all of us to spend more time together (like it's possible LOL) But anyways, SIL and I are planning family dinner/game nights and am going to gift them a calendar with everything on it. So I thought I'd buy us some new games since all of ours are from my childhood and in rough shape. I've got Sorry, Yahtzoo, UNO, Phase 10, Skip bo and I'm blanking. What else?! I still have clue and monopoly in good shape. Maybe a trivia game? Scrabble is fun. Pictionary? Will it just be adults? Cards Against Humanity is really fun, but also can get a bit racy.

guster I really get how you feel. For me it sometimes helps to run a small errand alone or to meet up with Dh somewhere. Today I plonked the kids in front of the tv at three, cleared & cleaned all superficial mess and had them ready to leave to take a stroll into town at 15.35, with Dh. We came home at 5, almost dinner time, to make sure they don’t have time to create a mess all over again. ETA this way I can talk to Dh for a bit, get out of the house, wear the kids out, share kids responsibilities and run errands at the same time.

The adults will be playing the games but kids will be there. Just our 4 so no one over age 4. We have cards against humanity and apples to apples. Pictionary is a good idea. I know we have something like it. I need to check our games tonight.

peachsmama, you really don't need the game pictionary to play it. Just a big white tablet and markers. Or even an easel and chalk. Then all the attendees can put picture ideas in a hat and draw from it on their turn.

@nam, i'm usually good with it -- it's just when he doesn't nap and I'm supposed to have my alone time that makes me extra frustrated. I will often let him try to rest/fuss for a half an hour so I can try to have lunch in peace. And thankfully, they're pretty self reliant when it comes m to toys, but i do wish I had that little me break during the day.

@peachesmama my family loves taboo and card games. We always play Shanghai Rummy.
We just bought the game "what the meme" and I'm hosting a game night on Saturday with some friends to try it out. I'll report back.

LOL. How have I not heard of this? I just might have to tune in for an episode. I didn't really love Shep this season...he just seemed kind of cruel and bitter at times, plus he was just a mess (and he used to be one of my favorites). Is he better/back to his old self in S-I-L?

peachsmama We like Apples to Apples and Mexican Train (dominos). We have Cards Against Humanity and to me it's fun with a peer group but some of the cards are pretty R (X?) rated, and/or kind of offensive--ha. I personally wouldn't be comfortable playing it with my folks.

I don't think I've ever seen him laugh so much.

Haven’t read yet but wanted to update. MH took O to the Dr today. He said he just has a virus and should be feeling better soon.
Day care called to let us know Z has lice and needs to be picked up. It’s been going around at the day care in the past month.
So i guess i will be burning my house down tonight...

Watching a birthday party go down at the dc. I feel like the mom had it at the dc so that she wouldn't have to set up/clean up and so that she wouldn't have to deal with the kids or pay for a place. She hired a freaking clown to come in. I really don't think this is a good idea. The kids are going to think this is going to happen on all the birthdays now. Plus, the dad (I'm assuming that is who the man on the camera is) brought in a giant bag and the boy is opening it there. It's filled with toys. I really don't think this is cool at all, but maybe it's a UO. I mean, none of his classmates brought him gifts. I didn't even know it was his birthday. The gift bag should have been left for at home.
