February 13, 2018 – our oldest finished the latest in the “Spirit Animals” series, Rise and Fall by Eliot Schrefer.
This is course makes me think about what my spirit animal would be … who knows?

The Royal Diaries
She Who Would Be Queen
“The Royal Diaries” has been a great time for our oldest and this was the last book she read in the series, Elizabeth I by Kathryn Lasky.
History has always fascinated me and seeing her drawn into different time periods has been great.
Mystery of the Moss-Covered Mansion
Our oldest finished the latest in Nancy Drew-ish adventures with Mystery of the Moss-Covered Mansion.
She finished the cougar-filled caper on February 10th.
The First SWAT at it
Our oldest played her first game of Halo online multiplayer earlier this month (2/3/18) almost by accident – Currerbell was away from the screen and the game was starting, so someone else had to take over!
One Stop Shot
There may be many more games in her future, but for now she’s taken her first step into the online arena.
Robin Hood
One of my favorite Disney movies growing up was Robin Hood, and bringing it home on blu ray felt good.
Golly What A Day
Please enjoy the above illustration done by Tom Whalen. It’s a great look I enjoy and it brings the movie new life every time I look at it.
My Little Pony: The Movie
Some forces in the universe are unstoppable.
Gravity.
Long Division.
My Little Pony.
Friendship really is magic.
We watched the movie together earlier this year and they loved it.
The Cat from Outer Space
The Cat from Outer Space was a movie that came out in 1979 and revolutionized the “animal-from-outer-space-with-a-telekinetic-collar” genre.
I know what you’re thinking and yes, it is that awesome.
I loved it as a kid and we watched it as a family on February 2, 2018.
Castle-Mate
I found Castle-Mate while browsing through board games online and so far I’ve played with my two youngest girls.
It’s like chess, but with cards. And random craziness.
It’s been hit or miss; I thought this would level the playing field more but the cards aren’t as powerful as I thought they’d be.
Perhaps I need to thin the deck to only the ones that will deal me a crushing blow if drawn? It’s a thought.
We played on January 1st and 27th of this year.
Post-Christmas Gaming Continues
We’ve kept the board gaming going into this new year with having my side of the family over for some good times!
Jewels o’plenty
High five! Pound it!
All those re-watches pay off
Happy Salmon (six plays!), Codenames (or first time playing our new Disney edition) and Splendor all graced the table for what would be our first game day of 2018.
Two Rooms and a New Year
This past New Year’s was enjoyed with friends and games; this included our first ever play of Two Booms and a Room as well as Hawsy (short for Hasenpfeffer, a type of Bid Euchre) and Age of War.
Here’s to a great New Year!
