Funtivaties Galore

Games, games, more games, and storytime.

When we are not playing with the children of the neighborhood or diving deep into scripture you could probably find us playing some type of game. There are many funtivities! Let me tell you a few:

1. Bananagrams- if you haven't played it get on it because it is beyond awesome. Also if you are a Scrabble lover this is for you. Many of us have stayed up late just to get in one last game, and it is always worth it in my opinion.
2. Dutch Blitz- fast hands and a sharp mind will allow you to go far. A super fun card game that I am slowing getting better at. The louder you get the more fun it becomes! Check out this pic of John Thiel dominating at Dutch Blitz!
3. Pictionary/sentence game- Ha, I don't know if it has a definite name. But it is so incredibly fun and you don't have to be a good drawer at all. Actually its most enjoyable when some people aren't talented in the drawing area. Much laughter will result.
4. Story time with David (pictured with me while cooking mac & cheese) - Beware... these Goosebumps stories will result with chills up and down your spine. David narrates the tales of Goosebumps as we all gather around, but don't worry they are actually hilarious especially because its David who is our storyteller. He gives an interesting twist with his narrating talents.
5. Bop-it- The commands of Bop-it fill our living room, which is accompanied by frustration usually. I might have received the high score so far, but someone will probably break it soon...maybe.


Playing these games has definitely brought our community closer together. As the laughter echos in our house, I can see God smiling down on us. Laughing is a beautiful thing, and God is so good for giving us this gift. Me and my fellow sidewalkians can't get enough funtivities. This is my temporary family for the next month-ish, and I love them all. Such a blessing =)
