Who Am I?

My little family has always been really good about having dinner together every night. Because Brian and I own our own businesses this has never really been an issue. It's nice to know that at the end of a long, hard day we can all come together for this time. Unfortunately, what ends up happening more often than not in our house is that dinner time becomes a pretty unpleasant experience. Kids fighting over where they're going to sit, what color plate they will eat off of, etc. Dad yelling for them to be quiet and to use their napkin instead of their clothing to wipe their hands and faces. And Mom asking everyone to "please just get along and be happy because I did not slave over this meal just to listen to you all be miserable!"

So, that said, the other day I decided we were going to play a game at dinner to lighten things up a little bit. I wrote a bunch of random names/characters/etc on little slips of paper and taped one each to everyone's forehead. The game was called "Who Am I?," and the person had to guess what name they had taped to their head. Let me tell you, that was the best dinnertime experience we have probably ever had. We all had so much fun asking questions and giving hints and it was a hilarious sight just to look at my whole family with pieces of paper taped to their heads with bright blue duct tape. I wish I would have gotten a picture. Needless to say, we have played the game every night since then and so far no one has gotten bored with it. Dinnertime has become a pleasant time to share together, as it should be, and I hope that we can continue this run (even if we eventually have to change up the game a little bit). So, if you're ever invited to our house for dinner, be prepared to share in the fun!!!
