I thought the snow on Monday was going to be the most exciting part of our week.  Boy, was I wrong!  Come Tuesday afternoon, Tristan had a raging fever and spent most of the day on the couch.  The next day, Corvin had it too.  Here we are at Friday and Tristan’s appetite is just now returning and Corvin’s is still sleeping an hour and a half after his usual wake up time.

Thankfully, I haven’t gotten sick but I feel like a hypochondriac with my constant temperature taking.  I hate to say there’s anything good about my little rugrats being sick but I have to admit, I kind of liked that they didn’t run away as soon as my camera came out.

While the doctor had some guesses on what was sickness they picked up, I’m fairly confident it’s just a run of the mill virus.

What about your children?  Did they come down with any sicknesses this winter?  My Facebook feed has been full of my friends’ children being sick for the last several weeks.

And no matter where they go, their biggest fan follows them.

Yep, they’re  Mommy’s little rockstars, alright.

Do your children play instruments or are they like mine and stick to Paper Jams guitars?  Comment below and let me know!

Along with the 52 Weeks Project (one photo of each son, each week), I’m working on Family Friday.  One day a week that we do a favorite activity and I share it all of you.  And hopefully, you guys can give me some great ideas to have fun with my boys.

This week is board games.  We have never managed to keep a board game.  We’ve been through more Memory sets than I want to count but we went out on a limb and bought an arm full for the boys this past Christmas.  Right now, we have Operation, Kerplunk!, Connect 4, Trouble, All Aboard (like Chutes and Ladders), and a pizza making game.

My personal favorite is Kerplunk!  It’s for ages 5 and up but we let Corvin play by constantly reminding him “one stick!  Only pull one stick!”  Of course, a lot of games are cut short because of him bumping the table but it’s still a lot of fun for us.  Unlike Trouble where every time you think you have the game one then end up with three pegs back home, Kerplunk is a quick game once you get past the tedious task of putting each plastic stick through the holes.

52 Weeks – Week 1

We bought the boys bunkbeds last year and we’re finally getting to a good place with them.  Corvin likes to climb up on the top bunk and play at night but he ends up back in his bed by morning.  I’m secretly jealous that Corvin gets a full bed to himself when some nights I end up with the husband, both boys, and the cat in my queen bed.

What was your favorite board game as a kid?  What’s your favorite game to play with your kids?
