A couple of nights ago, the kids and I had game night. I picked up a new game "Mouse Trap" at Target. Ok, I know this is not a "new" game. It's a favorite from my childhood, but the kids had never played it before. So, hence the whole newness thing. Anyway, we got a fire going in the fireplace, our first this season, and settled in for a real "Family Night".
I had the kids do their chores beforehand (the promise of a new game and some full-on Mommy-time was all the incentive they needed) so that our house would be cleanish and I wouldn't be all skeeved out sitting on the floor. Remember the whole Photoshopping my pictures into life the way I wish it was? Well, I didn't do that with these! So behold the toy corner. That place in the family room where the kids toys are suppose to be neatly stacked. Yeah, that's Toy Mt. Everest!

No self-respecting family game night is complete without pizza, eaten on the floor! We do it right! Sean had his own gluten free, dairy free pizza and I even had a Lean Cuisine bbq chicken one!
Tad was totally not into having his picture taken. Teenagers! Someday he'll look back and wonder why there are no pictures of him during these years... just like I do now!
