Happy Birthday to Me!

I had a good birthday. We just hung around the house. Jamie made me open only one present at a time, kind of like we did with Calvin on Saturday. My first present was some poker chips and a chip tray. That was worth a good laugh. =)

My second present was better, the game Blokus. So we played together as a family before continuing on with the things we are trying to get done this week.

My third present was a nice set of Bocce balls. We trooped outside and played a couple of games basically trying to follow the rules. It was pretty fun.

My final present was the game Small World. We ended up staying up late playing together as a family. It was a good time, though we figured out later that we weren't playing entirely correctly. Izzy was getting a little goofy and so was her mother. We had a lot of fun. All in all, a great birthday!

Andrew Wins...Again

So Andrew keeps asking me to play Warmachine with him...I may have created a monster. =) I recently received a Legion of Everblight Warpack plus a couple of solos and an extra Warcaster that I got for a great deal on Bartertown and Andrew was wanting to know if he could play them. I finally let him so we played a Warpack game, he played the Legion of Everblight (LoE) and I played Skorne. I slammed his Carnivean but left my caster too open with no Fury to transfer damage and he was able to assassinate me with a couple of shots from his caster. I think that's the second time he's beaten me. It's fun that he's learning to capitalize on my mistakes.

Hordes Genesis

So Andrew and I went to a Hordes Genesis event Friday night. I went to play and Andrew tagged along to watch. He's so much fun. I ended up playing three games, one at 35 points, one at 50 points, and one at 75 points. The first two were pretty good. The last one, well, it was the first time I'd ever played 75 points and we had 12 minute turns. It was intense, to say the least. I did not do well as it was getting late and I was pretty fried.
