A5 really wanted to play a game this evening. He had asked me several times from the time he came home from school and I just wasn’t able to when he asked. So when it came time for me to take the girls to choir tonight I asked Craig, aka: Mr. No Games Ever, No, Don’t Even Ask, if he would be willing to play a round of Candy Land with the boys. It was a Lordship decision for him for sure, but he did agree to do it. What he did not realize, however, was that since we said good-bye to almost all of our preschool level games years ago, I picked up this version of Princess Candy Land a few months ago when it was on clearance at Walmart. I popped it on the table and said, “Well, boys, the bad news is that it’s Princess Candy Land, but the good news is that Dad’s willing to play it with you.”

There were giggles from the girl squad as we heard the guys claiming their pieces, “Who wants to be Belle?” and “I’m sleeping beauty!” Seriously. Funny.

And so I snapped a photo, told them all I loved them, and left them to it. These three are keepers right here. Every one.
