We play word games that are great to build vocabulary, 20 questions and such games. We sing a lot on the Shabbat.<br /><br />As the Shabbat is the only day that the kids have off school we do different things in the afternoon. Usually at least part of my huge family gathers in the evening for Havdalah after which we usually have a nice dinner together.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08492649968147186399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714728755765234677.post-31905111786871669602009-10-18T21:18:05.147-04:002009-10-18T21:18:05.147-04:00sounds like a good time.

I pl...sounds like a good time. Well wishes for all!<br />I played pictionary this afternoon with my mom and sisters. That would probably be an all time favorite game of mine (right up there with pass the pigs). Singing together different hymns we know and love while Mom or Mel play the piano is always great too!relying on Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14793765962523057410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714728755765234677.post-25474125535843040182009-10-18T17:46:04.479-04:002009-10-18T17:46:04.479-04:00Sounds like a good idea to lay low!
Poor Ava... I ...Sounds like a good idea to lay low!<br />Poor Ava... I hope she is feeling better. When Anna or Erika get colds, they can sound rather croupy!<br /><br />We LOVE to play chess, backgammon and Blockus. I think we play chess every morning. DAD read 1 page in the book we have called, "How to Beat Your Dad at Chess", and he has been a killer player ever since! :)<br /><br />I love late breakfasts and hot coffee on a cold morning. <br /><br />We too like to read bible verses and sing worship songs together.<br />This is our Tuesday evening worship time; but when we stay home, we do the same. :)<br />Happy Lord's Day!Christie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738612207150868577noreply@blogger.com
