 We made our own shirts for the cruise - for all 13 of us. Design your own. Everyone can create thier own special design! We used sharpies. We used a few templates, put cardboard in the middle of the shirt, and got creative.

Family Games can get interesting with a large family. There are quite a few games that aren't fun for us - all 6 of us. Games like checkers, slap jack.. We (meaning our mom) likes games that are fast, keep everyone interested, and don't take too long. Preston love Monopoly and our mom has modified the game so that it's over before midnight. Farkle is one of our favorites for a quick game after dinner. Tonight we were playing and the youngest wanted to know who was winning and he kept yelling, "I'm in the head!" We tried to explain what in the head meant to Navy-men, but he persisted. And when you can't beat them, join them. So we did. All throughout the game someone would ask, "Who's in the head?" and everyone would die laughing.  Equipment
Number of Players Two or more players. Our youngest enjoyed playing when he was 6 years old; younger than that might be tough to hold their attention. The Object To acquire points by a systematic rolling of the dice. First Player to 5,000 points wins the game. How We Play On your turn, place all six dice into the dice cup and roll them. If a die falls out of the play area, re-roll it. Take out any dice worth points after each roll. This forms your running score for the round. Roll the remaining dice, removing any dice worth points and adding them to your running total. If you are ever able to set aside all six dice, you may re-roll all of your dice and keep building your running total. If ever you are unable to set aside any dice (no dice are worth points), you have Farkled. You lose your running point total and your turn is over. If you don't like these rules, you can read the "real rules." Points You cannot count any of your points until you reach at least 300 points in a single round. 5’s = 50 point 1’s = 100 points 1,1,1 = 300 points 2,2,2 = 200 points 3,3,3 = 300 points 4,4,4 = 400 points 5,5,5 = 500 points 6,6,6 = 600 points Four of a Kind = 1,000 points Five of a Kind = 2,000 points Six of a Kind = 3,000 points A Straight of 1-6 = 1,500 points Three Pairs = 1,500 points Four of a Kind + a Pair = 1,500 Two sets of Three of a Kind = 2,500
So after watching this episode of Liv and Maddie on Disney, the kids have started apologizing like this. Do you ask your kids to apologize? Do you insist they do it in a certain way? How do you teach them what it means to be sorry?
  Markets are Fun We enjoy visiting with the vendors about their products. Often there are very unique stories about the products. Shop Local Anytime I can buy local, I really make a point to do it. It feels good to know you're supporting a family and their small business rather than a huge corporation. I love to show my children there are so many things that people can choose to do to make money. With no middle man, the prices are terrific. Research shows that 80% of the retail goods Americans buy are from China.  Learn New Things I want our kids to know that meat and produce don't come from the supermarket.  |
AuthorsAfter watching the first episode of Nickelodean iCarly, where the main character decides to do a web show, my kids decided that they would like to do a "show". Choosing to share our experiences with others, sounded like a really fun idea.
