Have you noticed that there are really very few pictures of ME on my blog? Of course that's because I am usually the one behind the camera. Then a few weeks ago I came across Mommy and Me Monday, hosted by
Really, Are you Serious? I love the idea of taking more pictures of ME with my kids. After all, I want them to remember that I was right there the entire time they were growing up, right?
Sunday afternoons while Eli is napping, Jonah often asks me to play games with him. So today while we were playing Candy Land I gave my camera to Honey Daddy to take a couple of snaps.
We had a fun time playing Candy Land. There may even have been a bit of goofing off going on.
Have you ever noticed that kids like to play games... as long as they are winning? Jonah won the first round and beat me pretty soundly (notice that I am blue above and he is moving his red man). Then on the second game I actually dared to win.
This turn of events was not well received, and SOMEBODY didn't want to play with me anymore. I guess winning is kind of important when you are only three years old.
Oh well. At least there is always Daddy to smooth things over. Especially when he cheats, but not in his own behalf. What a great Daddy!

I love that you captured the tears because it is so true!! I have been wondering about this whole winning thing, and my daughter seems to always be in competition with me!
ReplyDeletewhat great pictures! I can't wait until Tristan understands Candy Land! We just play with the pieces and practice our colors for now. LOL
ReplyDeleteMine has his own solution for losing...dump playing with Mommy and make up his own rules to the game! Cute pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou adn your lil man are adorable, He looks a lot like you. Ahhh thejoys of teachign them good sportsmanship lol... not an easy row to hoe..
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need to be in more pictures, pretty lady!
ReplyDeleteMy kids never cried when they lost games with my husband and I...they just insisted on an instant rematch. We all take our board and card games very seriously...
Bella LOVES Candyland too!!! And yes, she's just as much of a sore loser, lol! Winning is apparently important at five as well!
ReplyDeleteI love that you captured all of the moods of the game. We have a problem with winning, too. Iz doesn't mind if you win...as long as she wins, too!
ReplyDeleteYeah my husband cheats for the kids behalf.. I sometimes do, but sometimes I think, well they need to learn how to deal with losing at some point ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I need to get in more pictures too
Hey love your blog! Glad I found you through Mommy and Me Mondays. Cute pictures (can't help but love the one with the tears :)) You have a beautiful family :)
ReplyDeleteNow that is some real life. So happy you shared. It is so rare to see these kind of things through peoples blogs. I can't wait to experience the board games with my little one. :) Happy Monday!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had fun! I remember playing board games all the time when I was younger (always wanting to win, of course!!)
ReplyDeleteThe kids are already in compitition with each other. Add me to the mix and the tears won't stop. Then again they are still lil enough to move on just as quickly.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! You look great in that blue.
