Games

I remember when we were in Jackson, MS, in Seminary, that we would play games on weekends or between the semesters. We would have friendly competitions with friends. We had other couples that we would all hang out together and just play games. There were several games we liked to play and all of them could last for hours. (remember this was all pre-kids).

I remember one such game was Domino's, more specifically the Mexican Train.
Those times, while in seminary, may have been the last that we attempted such things. It's just not as easy with kids, let alone 4.


But Saturday morning was a dreary morning here in Ney. We slept in and then about mid-morning we decided to attempt to teach Ronnie and Nathaniel how to play Domino's, it went so well we continued on Sunday.

Keep in mind we have 2 other children.

Maddie was content to just sit and look cute.


Eli preferred to "help", which Ron was not exactly happy about (although they did win that round).


Ronnie and Nathaniel were just excited to get to play "momma and daddy's game". They really did pretty well.
Nathaniel was easily distracted, by everything. But he is 4 and practice makes perfect.


All in all they did a great job. Perhaps those days of friendly competition will return to the Adkins household.

I love playing games with my kids, but Dominoes is one I have never learned (unless you count the preschool bug dominoe game - I am pretty good at that:))
