While Archer was at Grandma Sue's for a sleepover Shelly and I played a game that she called the Christmas Game. I guess she called it this because its around Christmas time? It started out as tag. That girl can RUN! And when racing around the kitchen/dining room/living room there's no way I can catch her. We took turns being "it" and when that got old I flopped down on the floor and we played rocket launch. Which evolved into rocket repair, robots repairing rockets and robots capturing each other. The running and laughing and generally being silly together compares to nothing. No vacation, no movie or other entertainment, nothing compares to the fun of being silly with a three year old. Or any age kid. I don't even have to be the creative one if I'm just willing to go along with whatever they make up. Nothing compares to spending pure undistracted time with my kids, my family.

Sounds like Shelley is giving up the secrets of what we do here when we have a sleepover with the kids. Imagine, you may be doing the same types of games, fun with your grandchildren 30 years from now! That's something to look forward to!!
Its funny, I have memories of playing similar games when I was a kid, looking forward to when I have grandchildren is nearly impossible to imagine. Some days I'm still surprised that I actually have kids of my own!
