Five Minute Glimpse: Hunkered Down in a Snowstorm with a Game of Catan

I am so grateful that my husband enjoys playing games with them, because truthfully, I do not.  The drama involved is not my thing, and I end up frustrated, so I don’t do it.  I can read out loud to the crew of kidlets for hours and hours on end, taking great pleasure in spending time with them, but games just make me cringe, because I know someone is going to end up frustrated, upset, or gloating, and I am going to have to deal with it.  Dr. Peds handles it beautifully.  He’s the game player.  I’m the reader.  It all works out.

They continue to love playing Catan.  The cards come out weekly, sometimes more often that that even.
