I hate board games...

........but I still feel I owe it to my kids to try and playfully interact!! the one game my kids love more than anything is the 'my boat is loaded with' game.You pick a theme and then take turns adding a thing to the boat in alphabetical order. Like food - my boat is loaded with apples, bananas, cottage cheese and so on and so on. Great for car trips, bus trips, walks...well anywhere and anytime! So after years of this we have now advanced to the same sort of game but now we have to start each word with the last letter of the previous word - AppleS, SorreL, LimE and so on and so on!!!
SO, today we had a major breakthrough in the evolution of games mum can be b*****d to play! Imaginary animals. Same game as before but with the added fun of having to actually draw the animals and make up their story.
First results shown here.


This is the Priestcollar animal - he is a very rare species,only 50 of them left in the whole world. Most of them live in Asia. some are kept as pets but very few. They are most often green but can also be blue or orange. I f you see one it will probably run away very fast. Not poisonous for people but for animals like snakes and chameleons they are lethal.

This is the pocketfluff creature. He can be any colour under the sun and is very very shy!!

The Nutsnork is a rare bird that lives in woods and forests all over the world. Shaped liked a nut for camouflage. A few million left in the world but are rarely seen.
