We all love to play Yatzee around here. And who knew it'd be a game that could cover the entire span of ages of our family? My oldest and I play by the rules (large straights, small straights, rolling for threes, full houses, Yatzee!, etc) while my youngest rolls the dice and shouts out Yatzee phrases at random. My favorite is when she yells, "open house!". I don't have the heart to correct her. Once she throws her THREE rolls, she likes to add little circles in the score pad squares. It's really cute!
Here's a shot that I thought worked perfectly for this weeks theme.
What photo games did you play for this week's theme?





Yahtzee, I forgot about it. My boys love board games, so thanks for the reminder. This shot works "three" for me...love the composition and colors.
Mine is up...must be hormones lately...

Ohhhh I love Yahtzee!!! We used to play it all of the time, with my grandma, who would cheat by turning the die over when we all "weren't looking." Too bad we always saw her! :)
Anyway- here's mine:

I enjoyed "playing" around with three this week as well!!
Board games are a blast! My family was totally involved in trivia games until we started having kids, then it was back to the board! What is so fun is watching them have fun!

Pretty creative, I never would have thought of the game Yahtzee for this, perfect. I knew instantly which picture I was going to use for this theme.

You are so creative, Tracey! I loved playing Yahtzee when I was younger, I should break it back out, I bet the girls would like it...
Here is mine

I had a grand plan for taking pictures at 3:00 for three days but I got only one not very good picture. Instead this one fell out of a tree. I can't quite put my finger on why I like it or what might make it better.

What a great take on three, Tracey!
Here's mine, as my THREE-year-old starts nursery school today!

Yahtzee! I love it! Now I want to go play, but off to the Aquarium first...
In the mean time, here is mine.
I love the number 3.

We love that game! We keep it in our trailer and play it when we go camping. Here's my "3"!

Tracey, that's a great interpretation!
I LOVED the theme, a nice round number, but I just couldn't get anything to work the way I liked it. So I had to dig into the archives. There's always next week!

I love playing Yatzee; it's so similar to poker! However, I hide it whenever nieces and nephews come to play...seriously, dice and a plastic cup? How do you moms handle the noise? :)

notice my very first-ever-made plum torte (with plum off our neighbor's tree) is right where the #3 should be.
