We had a whirlwind of a day today. The day started with the Martinez boys building the new bed frame Roberto and I bought from Ikea. I've never heard so much laughter over constructing a bed frame; it was nice to hear Roberto laughing so hard. I'm not around many in-progress bed frames but I'm pretty sure Ikea furniture construction is accompanied by cursing and yelling. I did catch a, "You guys put the piece in upside down!"
In the afternoon, we had a bunch of people stop by for lunch: Jim, Jun, Sophia, Eli, Alex, and Christina. Roberto's parents slaved away at the barbeque and Roberto helped them pull together a yummy buffet of food. We spent most of the day playing Fluxx and Carcassonne. We played the pirate version of Fluxx and I got some people to talk like a pirate (it's a special card)! Carcassonne was fun and challenging because we had so many players. There was a lot of talk about the pieces: "Put it in!" "It fits perfectly," "Just slide it in," and "Don't do that! That helps him!"
Below is a rare 5-person game. Christina was the winner! Eli's hand was conveniently pointing at something.
Okay, I'm totally drained of energy. Time to call it.
