It's Christmas! Day 14: Game Night

It’s Christmas! is a 25 day blog and vlog segment that I’ll be doing this December to bring you crafts, reviews, and ideas to make your Christmas season even more fun this year (especially, with this pandemic thing we’re all trying to navigate).

Hopefully, my family can inspire yours to not let this crazy year ruin the holiday season for you.

During the busy Christmas season, we always try to find a night to just have some good old-fashioned fun. How do we do that? Game Night! We have a little bookshelf where we keep all of our games. Well, most of our games. Our bookshelf is currently bulging and we can’t fit all of our games in it.

On game night, sometimes it’s just our family of 3. And sometimes, we are able to have other people over to enjoy game night with us. During the pandemic, we haven’t been able to have very many people over since we’re trying to keep our bubble pretty small. That being said, there are a few people that we’ve included in our bubble to keep ourselves sane.

Anyway, we normally choose 2 or 3 games to get out and play. This time, we chose Clue and Pay Day. We had a blast just playing games just the 3 of us.

So, make sure you’re taking time for fun and playing with your kids.

And as always, from my family to yours, Merry Christmas!

Last Day of Homeschool: Field Day

Even though my son is homeschooled, he is still friends with other kids that go to traditional school. So of course, they were telling him all about their Play Day (also known as Field Day to others) and he was jealous. I really didn't have anything planned for the last day of school yet, so I decided to make my own version of Field Day that would meet our specific homeschooling needs. They needed to be things that we could do just the two of us.

Here's what we came up with!
1. Soccer
2. HORSE (basketball)
3. Egg Race
4. Chalk Art
5. Crab Races
6. Lunch Outside (we had burgers!)
7. Water Balloon Toss
8. Blowing Bubbles
