SETTLERS OF CATAN


Well, we went to the Meyerson's tonight for a fabulous meal (spagetti and salad w/ pineapple weird punch) and then locked the kids into Lexi's room/playroom w/ the babygate and we 4 played Settlers. It's not really child abuse if we're talking to them occasionally and smiling at them, is it? It was a good game full of ups and downs. We talked some smack, did some mean trades, but the harsh reality is that Phil is just better than we are. He won again and continues his reign as Lord of Catan. Now, I must emphasize however that he spent much of the day doing some major strategy research on the internet which was cheating but also ingenious. So, tomorrow during naptime you'll find me doing the same research. Well, probably not. But right now I'm pumped up and want to. During naptime you'll probably find me doing some maintenance on this house. I'm pretty sure Travis will definitely be scouring the web for some helpful hints. I tried to team up w/ him towards the end to beat Phil down, but it was to no avail.
By the way, we've decided Jenny is on the cover w/ the large chest.

So, anywho. That's what we did today.

My strategy consists of trying to build the longest road and then begging people around me for advice as I lose. It's pretty awesome.

I'm so so happy you've joined the blogging world! Now all we need to do is pull Stace to the dark side, and we'll be set!

I'm pretty hot, I have to admit.

I don't need to be that for Halloween...that's how I dress everyday now since starting to play Catan.

Phil is officially challenged to Catan battle. Only one will come out alive and I'll tell you...it won't be Phil.

bring it!
