Love and War (7-27-12)

Jeff had a craving for homemade lemonade to kickoff our date this week.
There was a slight problem when he got to the store and found he couldn't remember how many lemons the recipe called for. So he just bought 20. Turns out we only needed 8. I guess this is a good example of why I do the grocery shopping.
Jeff worked on the lemonade as I was running between the kids' rooms to make sure their bedtime needs were met. Once the kids were finally nestled in bed, I made myself useful by stacking lemon peels while Jeff finished up our evening beverage.
Jeff also bought some mangoes. He decided a few weeks ago that he needed to try a mango so he picked one up along with his 20 lemons. It was slightly disappointing.
After our taste testing, we went down to the basement to cool down and play a nice, friendly game of War.
The great thing about War is that it requires zero brain power -- perfect way to ease out of a busy week. Of course, we did spice it up a bit by playing with two decks.
Yeah. This happened. War has a way of bringing people together.
When it proved to be impossible to win with two decks, we made up a new rule: when we both laid down the same card, instead of laying down the typical three cards, we laid down the same number of cards as the cards that caused the war. It was so much more fun and so much faster and gave me so much more anxiety.
Then we got a couple double wars and that was just nuts.
Sarah High - Amping up our game with all the extra cards during the wars.
Sarah Low - I lost the battle royale.

Jeff High - Double Ace war.
Jeff Low - The game never ended.

  1. Well first of all Sarah your toes and hair look fab! And second of all I am really glad you are so great at using your time so well nice lemon stacks! I am laughing to hard about the 20 lemon thing because Dylan would totally do the same thing. Thank goodness for women
