Update - here we are years later and while Broxton won't play with us as much as he used to.... Teenagers!  Savannah will pull this out of our game stash from time to time and we will giggle playing!  Time to make it a game night again soon! We love doing things as a family... and hope to enjoy it for a while, but I know that soon enough he will be a tween/ teen and the times of spending family time will be further and further apart.  We were sent SHARK BITE by Pressman Toy for review and I will tell you, the laughs and the giggles make my heart happy!   With this game, you set it up and put the plastic pieces in the shark... then you roll the dice and go fishing... but watch out... sooner or later, the shark will bite and it will snap right on your fingers/ hand.  Don't worry, the bite doesn't hurt, but I will admit it startles you a bit just enough to get you laughing!   FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this r...

Broxton had seen the commercials about it and had been asking, so we decided to surprise him with a treat to go there.  He was so excited and was eager to take his picture in front as soon as we walked up to the building!!!! Getting ready to head inside!   The reason we were given the chance to go was to share with you a new app that is now available. It is the Take a Snapshot with Chuck E. App.  You are told about it as soon as you walk in.  (No, it is not forced down your throat from the staff, but they do have advertising for it as soon as you open the door.)  The App is FREE and it is pretty neat.  Throu...

Marc is not normally one to play board games with me. We have tried to play before and he is just not a fan of them at all. That means for the most part, I don't play them. When I try to play with the boys, they start cheating and fighting... To the point where I quit as I just can not take it anymore. We received a game for review and I was eager to play it with the boys... but the last time we saw them, it was a bit to hectic to try and settle down for a board game.  So, Marc and I tried it ourselves. Have you heard of Morphology? It is a game for 4 players or more... but Marc and I really had a great time just the two of us. We were laughing so hard and Broxton even tried to get in on the game as well!  You should have seen us. Morphology is really a game to get your creative side going.  I know that this would have been a blast back in my single days!  Yes, we had times of us all getting together for different games... Sometimes it was before we we...
