game time

We love to play games - and we're at a great fun stage where we can really play too :)  Isaac loves to tag along and play his own little version of the game regardless of what the others are doing, but the girls are patient and it all works out just fine. 

In Candy Land when it's Isaac's turn to draw he chooses his card and then moves his little man to any space on the entire board that matches his card.  Forward, backwards, skipping significant chunks of the path.... he's just ready for 'his turn'.  We watch him, amused, and then move on to the next person.  Needless to say, he never wins Candy Land!  But he is a whiz at Zingo! and will beat you if you're not careful! 


UNO is one of our new favorites and now that Dad is back the competition stepped up a notch!  [The orange rope-looking things laying on the table is our snack  - dried sweet potato.  We've been eating so much sweet potato and pumpkin that I'm afraid our skin is going to take on a bit of an orange tint!]

In addition to UNO we're enjoying having Granddaddy back for more fun!  Monday we're headed out on a day long adventure that involves a ride on one of the new bullet trains, and the kids are pumped :)  


Totally unrelated, but 100% precious: check out the girls and their new socks :) 


Seriously, dontcha wish these two were students at your preschool?

Looks like great fun! I'd love to play Isaac in Zingo - I'm pretty good myself! ;)
