We have started having a game night every Friday, since we all enjoy playing board and card games. This way we will definitely take the time and spend it with our kids, playing the games they enjoy. We have been playing "Go fish!", Uno, Tower, Operation, Snakes and ladders, and other fun games.

The boys, especially Otso, likes to play games and he doesn't really care whether he wins or loses. Aleksi on the other hand gets a little upset if he loses a game and that's why sometimes he says he doesn't want to play at all... We have tried to tell him it's okay to lose in a game, because it's just a game! One time we were playing Snakes and Ladders, Aleksi was well in the lead, all excited about that of course... When all of a sudden his luck changed: he had to return almost to the very beginning.. oh the look on his face... Anyway, as games go, we all got our ups and downs and eventually Aleksi won that particular game. He was very surprised and excited. Maybe that will show him the uncertainty of board games, the ones involving no strategy...

Well, I will start making pizza for our game night dinner!
