Yesterday was so fun...we played quite a few board games with our little one!  I forgot how completely engaging a board game can be.  Candy Land, Operation (Star Wars style), Dominos to name a few.  It really takes you to another part of your brain that isn't used as often as it should be.  Lately, a group of us have been playing Texas Hold 'Em on Saturday nights. That is very fun, but the innocence of a board game, when you aren't especially playing for anything and where it is a game just to have a game, makes it all the more exciting.  For instance, when you get the Ice Cream Princess card in Candy Land and you zip your little green man all the way up to the top of the board, you can't help but say, "YESSSS!".   To a child, (and to me) that is so thrilling! 

Today it is supposed to rain, sleet and snow...I think it will definitely be another game day.  Chutes and Ladders anyone?

-Blessings on your day
