I tried something new. Hubby and I went to a church Rook tournament. We had never played before, but I was game (no pun intended). I was functioning on two hours sleep so I was feeling fairly loopy, but I did my best to pay attention (didn't really work), and to learn some strategy (furrow eyebrows, look pensive, and just wing it!) I behaved myself very well, as I did not know many people I played with, and was too tired to be my usual witty self. (ha ha) My daughter phoned about 5 times through out the evening to report on how MR J, #3 child, was treating the new babysitter. I hope the poor teenager will come back! (Nothing too serious- he just wouldn't stay in bed.)
What I really like to play are more creative games like Pictionary, Charades, Scattergories, and Cranium. What are some of your favorite games? Maybe I will find some new ones for the family.

One of our favorite games around here is Sequence. Or Sequence for Kids. And then there's a card game called "Munchkin" which is a hoot and a half.
I wanted to thank you so much for you comment the other day. You made me laugh!! I'm glad I'm not too highly intellectual. I have such a problem with my punctuation....I type like I talk out loud. I need to get the book "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" and remind myself about the punctuation rules. *L* That might make me feel better. And possibly use less "..." in my posts. *LOL*
It took me a minute to remember that Rook is a card game. Have you tried Skip-Bo?? It is one of my favorites...I used to be really good at it!
we love cranium and pictionary too. we also like clue and risk.
my parents used to play rook with their friends all the time. i haven't thought about that in a long time. i got a warm fuzzy! thanks! :o)
I am really not a game person--but I do like to play skip-bo. If others are playing games I will play but I don't really get into card games like solitaire or poker.
It probably does not help that my husband grew up playing cards with his mom and it was a religious taboo in my family. My parents have since changed about the whole card thing.
Have your tried Apples to Apples? We have the Jr. Edition. It is a lot of fun. The kids play it one their own and we play together.
Taboo is one of my favorites too.
