Road Trip Battleship!

Momsminivan.com now has Battleship! Download these printable pages for your next road trip and then listen for the classic line from your backseat, "You sank my battleship!"

Using these battleship grids, kids take turns firing upon their opponent until they sink all of his ships. It's normally a two-player game for kids who are old enough to read numbers and letters, but you can also play in teams. This is a GREAT game for the car -- a road trip version of this game of war ships!

I also posted a javascript version of Battleship online so you can practice playing against the computer to get yourself warmed up for battle!

Get Your Costumes Ready

Today I'm a guest-blogger over at my friend Becky's blog Deep Muck Big Rake. Check out my post titled "Get Your Costumes Ready", where I have written about my adventures at Mardi Gras and the importance of being properly dressed in a Mardi Gras Costume.

I also wrote about other fun things to do at Mardi Gras like singing karaoke, or using a trash can. Try it. It's fun. Really. Are you still reading this? Get over there and read the post already.

Then get your costume ready.
