Monopoly

We had a snow day last week, and near the end of the day, right when I was actually planning on everyone getting a lot of things done, like reading practice and viola practice, violin practice, piano practice, spelling practice, etc., Dr. Peds decided to introduce them to Monopoly.  More specifically, Star Wars Monopoly.  They had played the quick card game version of Monopoly before, but apparently not the actual board game.  It turns out that they are now obsessed with Monopoly.  Can I just note that Monopoly games are long? Very long.  Nothing else was getting done, so I had to hide the Monopoly game for a bit to keep people productive.  Don’t judge.  You would have considered it too.

Actually, I do love how they are fully capable of taking a board game, getting together and playing it on their own.  Even though nothing else has gotten done, there has been lot of money counting (good for second graders), the development of bartering skills, and, well, just a lot of laughing and fun as these three have spent time together.

Someone landed on his property, which was decked out to the max.
