"Don't Wake Up Daddy!" - Game Night!

When we find ourselves with a free evening, we throughly enjoy spending some quality time with the kids. We love to sit, snuggle, and read through a book (We just recently finished a wonderful book entitled Ginger Pye, and just started reading through a short, easy book entitled Did You Carry the Flag Today Charley?), OR we often play a game.
One of the kids' favorites is a game called "Don't Wake Up Daddy." The way this game works is by slowly working your way on the game board toward the refrigerator to get a midnight snack. On certain colored squares, there are pictures of things that would make noise (screeching cat, broken vase, musical toy, television). If you land on these squares, you must press a button on the bed for an assigned amount of times. No one knows when the button will cause "Daddy" to wake and spring up wide awake and make you go all the way back to the beginning of the game board. It's hilarious.

Of course, as you can see in the pictures, Taigen and I milk the suspense for all it is worth. These pictures and the video make me laugh! When we first got the game, Marshall was actually afraid of it, probably because of the noise and suddenness of the springing up and startling him. He's gotten used to it, but now, he covers his ear to muffle the inevitable. It's hilarious to watch. We had a wonderful time and got a good many laughs together as a family.
