F5

or in the case of tonight, F6. Allow me to explain. Every First Friday of the month at Five Fifty-Five pm we have a game night. Well tonight could be called F6, because the first Friday of June happens to fall on the Fifth, and is still at 5:55. :) David started these game nights in January of this year.

The first hour or so can be a little crazy for us moms & dads because our kids are still up and having lots of fun with each other and/or are cranky, because they're hungry or tired. Around 7:30, most of the kids have gone home or are sleeping here.

Lots of different games going on (often simultaneously)... card games, strategy games, games that people here have invented, even some DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) every now & then. Tonight, I think a record was set of the most people thus far... 15 adults and 4 kids. We weren't expecting very many people tonight, so I was pretty busy making more food - they just kept coming... so awesome! I felt like it was a "real" party when 5 people walked in that I had never seen in my life (don't worry - David knew a couple of them).

It's about 9:15pm and so far, there have been two games of Sabateur (card game), two games of Yes Master (card game created by BJ - one of the "gamers" here), one game of Acquire (one of my favorite board games), and one game of Gangster (board game). This'll probably go until midnight, so more games to come... I'm blogging now cause I just finished making food and am waiting for one of the groups to start a new game so that I can jump in.

Good food (every game night you can be assured that I will make California Club Pizza & have peanut M&Ms on hand - there's a lot more than that, but those are consistent), amazing people and fun games... join us anytime. If you'd like to be on our email list for F5 reminders, just let us know.
