Family Game Day

My family and I were recently given the opportunity to host a family game day with Two Little Fleas. We have, in fact, held this a couple of times now due to my SD card deciding to malfunction after the first lot of pictures!

(I may have won at 4 in a row but I let Jack think he had..)

Since Steve normally spends a lot of time at work, family time is quite limited. I am a work from home mum which means I am looking after Jack the majority of the time apart from the odd break when my parents or Steve’s parents take him out. However, when we are all at home together it is really nice to do something fun and we managed just this with our outdoor family game day.

As Jack is still a toddler, some games can be a little difficult for him, however that just makes it part of the fun as you don’t have to really play by the rules, do you? We were sent a few games to help us with our fun day and Jack really loved all of them, despite not really understanding some! The huge darts come with some wire to make rings in the grass..nope, Jack did not want to know with that one…let’s just fling them into the grass anyway! Haha!

By far Jack’s favourite game was the skittles. It took a little bit of coercion to convince him to roll the balls rather than throw them but we got there in the end!

It was so nice to be able to spend time doing fun things as a family. We are often pushed for time due to Steve’s shift work and having to fit other things into his days off. Sometimes money is a little tight. But its days like these that remind me just how nice it is to spend time as a family.
