if you want to see me get totally competitive, ridiculously fired up and inexplicibly mad at my husband… just roll out a deck of skip-bo cards and deal me in.
i had never even heard of skip-bo until i met chris and he showed me how to play at his parent’s house the first time i went to meet them. the first few rounds that we played he took it easy on me until i learned the rules and strategy.
then he unleashed on me. we would play until three or four a.m… or until i would finally win at least one hand. because i would not go to sleep until i won at least one hand.
we carried a deck of skip-bo cards around with us on our honeymoon and played all over the beaches of st. lucia. we had a few people actively engaged in our games in the airport while we waited for our flight. we play after a long day to unwind. we play during holiday visits to his see his family in oklahoma.

| i know you can’t see them, but there is a deck of skip-bo cards on the table in front of us! |
linking up with gussy sews & her inspirational workshop!
Sometimes being competitive over games like that is exactly what my husband and I need. A little good "fight" between us to keep things fun.
Super cute post – I love the fact that you brought it with you on your honeymoon! :]
I love skip-bo. It's so fun to play! I love that it is something you and your husband enjoy together.
skip-bo ROCKS! what a great way to just be.
First off, I really wish we lived closer so that we could play Skip-Bo AND Mexican Train! Secondly, bowling is our "play" time. We didn't go last week because of the move, but we are going tomorrow!!
I haven't played Skip-Bo in 15 years. It was such a fun game. I wish Eric and I had a game like that we loved to play, we may have to try this out. Thanks for the idea!
Playing games with your spouse is so much fun. I love when Hubby and I play games. =D
I've never tried Skip-bo, which is probably a good thing because I am way too competitive!! Looks like fun though:)
wow i have never played skip bo before! i love cards though and am super competitive x
