About Me

I am a not yet 55 year old woman married for 25+ years, 4 kids, 1 dog and 1 cat. The kids are beginning to leave home. One is launched, one is in college and 2 are still at home. As a couple we are entering the final stage of our parenting journey: the teenage years and beyond. We are starting to dream and think and plan for those years when the house is quiet and it is just us once again. Please join me as I explore what it means to grow older with adventure and grace.

The Grand Kids Are Coming: Pen and Paper Games

DateFriday, June 26, 2009 at 12:00AM

 You could go out and buy Battle Ship or Connect Four (game systems versions are now available) or you could just play them and host of other games with your grandkids using just pencils and paper. It is sort of like discovering that pancakes can be made without a mix! Who knew!

Paper and Pencil games

The advantage of these games is you get stuck waiting somewhere for some reson you can keep the kids amused and perhaps even patient.

That's a great idea, I would have never thought to play those games on paper. Thanks for the info!

My grandkids came in today from GA. 11 (girl) & 14 (boy). Any suggestions for them? Some that won't cost me an arm and a leg?
