Last night Luke went to bed early because he'd missed his nap, and Ben was out of town, so I enjoyed a fun game night with the kids. I visited a new part of the library for the first time earlier in the week, with lots of educational resources for parents. There I checked out three games my kids have never played before. The first was Pizza Math, which reminded me of a game I had as a kid. We also played Clue, Jr. and Outburst, Jr.
In the course of Outburst, Jr., which was the favorite of the three, we were to name states with two-word names. I was trying to get Jack to say "West Virginia" and he came pretty close. He guessed North Virginia (which some might argue really is a completely different place from the rest of the state), East Virginia (Virginia Beach??), and even Middle Virginia (I'm not even sure where the middle of Virginia is?) before I gave up.
I'm pretty sure Cat didn't study the states until 5th grade, so I'm not beating myself up too much about the whole thing...
That is so funny!!
