Renthead Mommy Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I just sent out an email to make a team! We are lousy about playing games here. With only one, when he wants to play a game, I'm the one stuck playing it with him usually. But it's getting better now that we have moved past the days of Shoot (me now please!) and Ladders and Candy (so not dandy!)Land. Hopefully this will spur us into more game play. I'm waiting on the day he can really play rummy with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renthead Mommy Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Somebody should organize a WTM team! I bet the minutes would be huge! On the sing up sheet it even asked "Do you homeschool?". I thought that was pretty cool. It didn't ask about other types of school, just homeschooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Somebody should organize a WTM team! I bet the minutes would be huge! On the sing up sheet it even asked "Do you homeschool?". I thought that was pretty cool. It didn't ask about other types of school, just homeschooling. Wow, yeah, a WTM team would be pretty cool!!! I already signed up as a family but I like that idea. Whoever organizes could post the user name and password so that other WTM'ers could log in to post their minutes. Of course, the problem with that is that they send out a free game at the end as I'd mentioned and they'd only send it to whoever is listed as the organizer. Whereas if you all sign up for your own families, you'll all get a free game. (I'm assuming, anyway! That's what they did last year, sending me a "Buzzword Bits" game. This will be my second year participating). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
