After a long and busy week at school my Teen’s love to hang out at home with a good game for their Xbox and a snack. They could spend hours sitting there racing, fighting or building with their favorite video games.
Their newest addiction is FORZA Motorsport 4; they have been playing this game for days now and they still find exciting new things to build, purchase and even coupon deals to make their car faster… YES… coupon deals; if they get to a certain level they maybe get a 20% off accessories for their BMW. Super cool! The boys have owned many racecar games and this one is by far their favorite; of course with FORZA 5 being released in a few short days, you know what that means for Santa ~ it’s on the wish list,
Another thing that’s on the wish list Xbox One ~ I know… I’m a sucker for new video game systems and I know that this one will be a lot of fun. Have your kids asked you for the Xbox One yet? Is it on your kid’s wish list?
My boys love a quick snack and their favorite while watching TV or playing their favorite FORZA 4 Video Game is a bag of M&M’s; each likes their very own and they love the biggest bag there is. Lucky for me I found a Party Size bag the other day at Walmart and couldn’t help but surprise the boys with it. They sure couldn’t believe their eyes how big that bag really was.
That’s how the perfect afternoon looks like for my Teen boys… a good game… favorite party snack and lots of hours of competition; there is no room for Mom to watch TV or dad to watch sports; Xbox games go first and the boys enjoy them for hours. One rule in our home, you have to have your homework done and don’t let the snacks spoil your dinner.

We love popcorn and we do love the M&M’s peanut and pretzel flavored ones. We like to have Doritos and plenty of pop. My son still loves playing video games, and he is really good at it, but I am not good at playing the games. But, it still is fun!
brett says

I was thinking about this the other day and one advantage of video games is that it is not instant gratification like so many kids think they need today. They have to work at it and how cool that they get coupons so they learn how to manage their money too. I think M&M’s are a perfect snack for this game as they can pop a few in their mouth without getting the mess on the control. I’m going to invest in a Xbox for myself and beat my grand kids in games when they come over.

Love the pretzel M&Ms, they are so addictive. Totally a great snack for gaming time, for sure. We like to make popcorn a lot, but could easily see enjoying some M&M’s!
