Few squabbles from the kids and in fact, our kids were very generous in thanking everyone for their presents this Christmas and I was very proud of them. (no prompting from us parent ogres to say thanks was a bonus) I decided that I wanted to hear some laughter from my extended family when they came to Christmas tea so made up some bright green playdough and made up a few lists of words that all ages could "create" to play playdough pictionary. We had 3 teams of 4 of various ages (from 9-76) and the neighbourhood could have heard them all laughing!.The competitive and creative sides of all were exposed but not one got upset or embarrassed but tried their best for their team and some laughed till the cows came home. While I was the MC for the games, I had my share of laughter watching them all! If you have never tried the game, its a must..... you can even play it using the board game as a basis, but believe me the kids version is much easier to adapt. Great to hear you have had a great break and change of routine Jodi! It rewards us all well when we make that extra effort hey? Have a great week enjoying home comforts again even if it is a very hot one here in SA! LS Well we have all had a rather smiley holiday time so far!
