Playing games

The boys are at a really fun age right now.
Alex has developed a love for games. And we're not talking Candyland anymore (thank God!).
Nope, first he got into dominoes which is one of our family favs. He wanted to play every night. He taught Andy as well and Andy is really fun when he wins because he does a little victory dance, shaking his butt while standing on his chair.
And then Grandma Ruth (a.k.a. Babysitting Grandma) taught them Monopoly. Yes, they are only 7 and 5 but they really love Monopoly. We now have to have regular Monopoly games (we still haven't actually ended one, but Alex thinks the winner is the one with the most hotels ... guess I'm raising a Trump Jr.).
On Friday, I had some friends over for a poker game and we left the table and stuff out. So, the boys were interested. My buddy Donovan taught them how to play and now that's the game-du-jour.
Of course, my sons are naturally very enthusiastic about games -- which doesn't really mix with poker ... "Oooooh, that was AWESOME!" Alex said as he looked at his cards.
So much for that game.
