In the past couple months, I have become obsessed with the game "Plants vs. Zombies." The premise is that zombies are invading your backyard (and, later, your pool and roof) in order to get in your back door and eat your brains. It is your job to plant zombie-killing plants (like the pea-shooter or watermelon catapult) in order to keep your brains safe. I first started playing this game at my parents' house because it's loaded on my mom's computer for the grandkids.
I don't exactly know why it's so fun, but it's appropriate for all ages (unless your kid is super afraid of zombies, but my friend's three-year-old boy plays it too and loves it) and it's not so difficult that it's no longer fun once you get to the higher levels.
This might (definitely) be why I haven't gotten very far on my 30 books before I'm 30 list. You can read more about the game here.

Bennett is still obsessed. I'm sure he would love to play it with you next time you come visit. Oh-and it is much easier to play on the iPad than the computer. :)
Oddly, Peter and I have been obsessed with this game lately too.
