Lincoln and Pinocchio

Lincoln loves the story of Pinocchio, and he is learning what it means to tell the truth, and tell a lie. My kids are pretty easy to catch in a lie. Their tone & body language say a lot! Yesterday Linc ran up to me "fake" crying and told me that Keslee had hit him. Keslee strongly denied it, and it was pretty obvious who was lying. So I said, "Lincoln, are you telling me a lie?" He thought for a minute, and said, "Mmmmm........mmmmmm........I think I need to check my nose in the mirror real quick." Take a guess who was telling the lie.

I'm not that good!

I stumbled onto this site today. The Duggar family isn't new to the media. They are some incredible people! I don't think, no, I know I couldn't do what they're doing! But more power to them! (And she's prego w/ #18!) Just wanted to share the photos of their new house! WOW!! http://www.duggarfamily.com/photos.html

Rules for the game, "Penalties"

For those of you who wanted to know, here's a quick explanation of one of the funnest games: "Penalties". So simple. So fun. Just get ready to make a fool of yourself. Best played with close family members. Not recommended for a church activity. :D

The dealer has a full deck of shuffled cards. One person verbally chooses a random card. (He doesn't see the card, just says the name of any card.) The dealer then goes around the room and each player chooses a card from the deck. If they draw the card that was verbally chosen, they are "penalized", hence the name, "Penalties".

The penalties can be anything, usually something nice and embarrassing. It's usually helpful to have them chosen before hand. If you need help coming up with a good list, I have a few that will make wonderful memories for your next family reunion! :D
