I met some initial resistance when I suggested we play Pictionary, but we ended up having a really good time. We played in 3 teams but played every card as an all-play because it's more fun that way.
Randy and Adam are artists, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily the best players. Sometimes their precision makes them take longer to draw something than one of us nonartists would take.
This is one side of the paper Randy and I used, we ended up writing the actual word after each round was over just because we found it amusing. We ended up winning thanks to my keen guessing skills, oh and Randy's stellar drawing skills (though that elephant drawing looked like a colon until the eye and tusk were added).
Adam drew this picture while attempting to get Amy to guess the word "birth mark", clearly this was the best way to go about it.
Listening to Adam and Amy draw and guess was truly hilarious. I love the random declarations that come when Amy is guessing, and then the post-failed guess follow up that happens when Amy tells Adam what he should have drawn in order for her to guess the right answer. Hearing her yell, "You shouldn't have drawn a monkey!" sent me into a fit of giggles.
This is the face Adam makes after listening to one of Amy's guess suggestions.
We didn't see much of the kids this time (woohoo) since they were busy playing in the bedrooms, we love it when that happens.
**Do you enjoy playing Pictionary?
Do funny blurts while playing games make you laugh?
Are you a better artist or guesser?**

Comment Window Tidbit: I've been watching Season 2 of thirtysomething while working on some things today and am feeling emotionally involved and rather flustered because of it.

I think your family game nights are a great tradition! Have you played BuzzWord or the Monopoly card game? We've had fun with those 2 games the past month. The Monopoly card games goes much faster than the traditional Monopoly and it can be really fun.
I am laughing at some of your comments. That is hilarious. I haven't played pictionary is years but it was always fun.
I laugh a lot when playing games and I am definitely a guesser than an artist.
Oh gee, those are funny pictures. For the life of me I can't figure out hallucinate, though. And is that a buffalo spitting out that hairball? How very, very funny.
What the heck is going on in that birthmark picture? Too funny!
I love your game night!
I haven 't played pictionary with adults for years- great game.
Funny blurps make game night fun...for me. I'm definitely the guesser. You are so lucky to have family around to do that together. Adams face=hilarious!
You had me at nachos.
Pictionary is so fun. I haven't played it in years but this makes me want to play it again!
Ditto to Ashley
Yay Season 2 of Thirtysomething (but not the flustered part)! I have some catching up to do.
The birth mark drawing is hysterical.
I have no artistic abilities whatsoever.
This family activity post has me excited that my brother will be arriving Thursday!
I love that you took pictures of the drawings, hilarious! I am definitely a better guesser than artist. Marc and I would probably do well as a team, we have so many inside jokes/comments/etc. after nearly 19 years.
In that last photo, I thought that Whitney was Robyn with her new hair at first!!
so much fun. remember that game show called win lose or draw- good times. :)
I think it is great that you guys do this together.
I remember wanting to watch thirtysomething when I was young- I guess I liked the actors, I don't really know why just that I did. It would make me nervous to watch it now that I am thirtysomething- I'd be emotional and flustered too.
I wish we had more adults for game night. With just Angela and Micah, we stick to Arkham Horror and Liar's Dice. Good times but not usually the barrel of laughs your game night is.
I am a guesser.
Hilarious!? And that picture for birth-mark? Seriously?! Too funny! I love game nights like that and especially love the funny outbursts!
Thought of you all month. Three weeks in Utah and I think I Od's on Sonic. Part pebble ice, part, not having to unbuckle two kids and get everyone out of and back into the car for a diet coke. BONUS!... a humongo lime at the bottom. Next time I'll take you along for the ride!
Can't think of the last time I played pictionary. Your game nights always make me wish we had family nearby. I supposed we could always play with friends, no?
But our kids are all so young we'd see way too much of them.
I seriously could not stop laughing when I read about the elephant looking like a colon until the tusks were added...
Is it corny to say that someday, I dream of playing pictionary with your family?!
Adam's face is totally hilarious in that picture! Did he crack you up even when you guys were little?
I'm going to try this again!--why am I not able to publish my comments? :(
I would love love love to play pictionary with your family sometime!
I laughed so hard when I read that the elephant looked like a colon until he drew the tusks...so funny, Jill...Everytime I read something you write, I laugh...
You've got a gift!!!
