Family Fun Night - Would You Rather...

Playing games with your family is a great way to pass an evening. We try to have a "Family Fun Night" once a week, usually on Friday. It usually involves playing games, going out to dinner or watching a movie. Nothing complicated.

Yesterday, Lewis discovered the game "Would You Rather..." There are lots of versions of this game and it's easy to keep it age appropriate. Lewis decided to make up his own scenarios and present me and Chris a variety of difficult choices to discuss. Most were totally hilarious and presented the unique point of view of a fairly sheltered 8-year-old boy.

I highly suggest trying this. To get you started I'll share some of Lewis' situations.

  1. Would you rather get divorced or struck by lightning?
  2. Would you rather eat lima beans for a year or be a total moron?
  3. Would you rather marry Justin Beaver (yes, that's his spelling) or wear clothes made out of ear wax. (Funny anecdote - Lewis thought Beiber was a made up person that little girls liked, kind of like Hello Kitty)
  4. Would you rather get detention or have no knees?
  5. Would you rather watch Mickey Mouse cartoons or sleep in a metal bed?
  6. Would you rather walk with a bully or get punched in the face?
  7. Would you rather have no fingers or watch Dora the Explorer?
There are more but you get the gist. Anyway, we're planning on playing again over the weekend. This time mom and dad will write some questions, too.

Enjoy!

Artist Profile - Andy Goldsworthy

Are you an avid hiker, naturalist or just like to sit out on in the fresh air? Or do you simply enjoy beautiful sights? Of course, beauty can be found just about anywhere. Because I am lucky to live in a wooded community I am treated to a daily concert of sights and sounds and no day is the same. The Artist Andy Goldsworthy Source: Kidzworld.com As someone who has always enjoyed nature and art I was thrilled to discover the art of Andy Goldsworthy. Although I've known his work since the mid-nineties he never ceases to enchant me. If you don't know who he is, prepare to be amazed. Goldsworthy is a man who enjoys the colors and textures of nature and presents them in a way you likely have never seen before. And, you don't have to be a nature-lover to appreciate his art. Rowan Leaves & Hole Source: Morning-Earth.org Goldsworthy is considered a pre-eminent "Earthworks" artist. This trend in art-making was popularized in the 1980s and 9...

Welcome to Crafty In Cobb!

It’s time to get your craft on. And by craft I don’t mean making pinecone wreathes. I mean thinking in a crafty way about your day. We all juggle a million things – jobs (even if it’s our partner’s job), housework, kids, pets, friends, hobbies and all kinds of little things that make life seem like it’s flying by. Well, it is…. Until it isn’t. Things don’t have to go by so quickly. It’s all a matter of perspective. I say slow down. Yes, slow down. Let some things pass you by. Appreciate the little things that give you a second of serenity. Put your feet up and watch your favorite TV show, including the commercials. Play a game with the family. Take a hot bath. Do the laundry tomorrow. Make PB&J sandwiches tonight and give yourself time to go for a walk. Say “no” when you need to and “yes” when you want to. Don’t go to bed thinking about work or what you didn’t do.   Enjoy the life you have and live in those moments. Stop thinking about tomorrow all the time. This blog is...

Margaret Atwood's "Variations on the Word Sleep"

Margaret Atwood is quite famous these days as the author of  The Handmaid's Tale . If you haven't read it, well, it's an enticing read to say the least. However, I personally am a bigger fan of Atwood's poetry. Variations on the Word Sleep is one of my favorites. I won't tell you what I think it means. Atwood's poetry can be fairly open to interpretation. Enjoy! I would like to watch you sleeping, which may not happen. I would like to watch you, sleeping. I would like to sleep with you, to enter your sleep as its smooth dark wave slides over my head and walk with you through that lucent wavering forest of bluegreen leaves with its watery sun & three moons towards the cave where you must descend, towards your worst fear I would like to give you the silver branch, the small white flower, the one word that will protect you from the grief at the center of your dream, from the grief at the center I would like to follow you up the long...
