The 50 Mile Challenge + The Game of Memory = Fun, Fun, Fun


First the challenge. All my bloggin' sistas'-Help me! Do this with me! Sheila D. has been a real great encourager, but really-I can't keep up with her and her husband they have already trekked 30+ miles! Way to go, Sheila & Dave!

So, whether you walk it, run it, bike it, "Just do it!" Either post it on your blog or send me a comment so I can encourage you. Ten days before the end of the month...time is ticking! I did Walk Away the Pounds- 4 miles today; I had good intentions on riding my bike, but guess what? Flat tire! So, hopefully I can put in more bike miles than walking tomorrow...it just seems much more easier. Will let you know...

The Game of Memory. The kids and I played a few nights ago. Tatiana and Andrew are pretty good...but Diego has a short attention span...and instead of watching his siblings, he makes a "choo-choo" from the card matches that he has won...so, needless to say, he gets skipped quite a bit! But seems to still enjoy it. I want to include him when we have game time. I know it will be easier once he gets older. Tonight, Ben played with them. Diego was a trip! He is so silly. And everytime Ben would show Tatiana the cards, he would ask her did she see them, she would say, "No..." I think she may have misunderstood what he was saying..Andrew was giving and getting lots of high fives. He really is a sharp guy! Can't wait to have many more game nights to come! Maybe Andrew is ready for Connect Four? Candy Land?

Juan does good with Candyland and his attention span is not great. Hi-Ho Cherry-O is good also for a quick game. Also try Uno just using the 1-5 number cards.

Caleb does Candyland, but here is my suggestion for a friendlier shorter game. Make a rule that you can't go backwards. It's not fun to be almost done and have to go way back! We love the Cariboo game, it's a little pricier, but I think Diego would love it too. There's a key and a treasure chest with a jewel, all very cool things!

Have fun!
