Sunday Night games with my little family, and a delicious, spontaneous dessert.
Of course, right off the bat, Q draws Princess Frostine.
Now, if you aren't familiar with CandyLand and the value of this highly coveted card, you need too immediately go do a few things:
1) go yell at your parents for not giving you a proper childhood
2) call back and apologize, you dummy! Your parents are freaking geniuses for removing that stupid card from the box before you ever discovered it. They must have saved themselves from having to put out at least a dozen fights because "you're cheating!", "that's not fair!" and "I'm not playing anymore!" become catch phrases when that Princess shows up to play.
3)read this hilarious and 100% accurate description of Princess Frostine's world in the wicked world of candyland. Ironically, I had planned on typing a post of this very nature. But, when I did a google search for a picture of the Princess Frostine card, I found this blog. It is spot on, and I simply could not have explained it better myself.
So here we have Quincy proudly displaying her Princess Frostine Card, which, to her, means nothing more than that she drew "the princess one". To Reese, it means, Wait a minute, I have no chance of winning now. This sucks. As shown in the folded arms and cross face.
Blackberry Apple Crisp (modified from Better Homes and Gardens Fruit Crisp recipe)about 1 1/2 cups blackberries (fresh)
2 apples peeled and sliced about 1/4 in thick (I used red, because that's what I had, but it wasn't as tart as it could have been if I'd used granny smith)
3 TBL white sugar
1 tsp or so cinnamon
mix above togther in baking dish
1/2 c oatmeal
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp nutmeg or cinnamon (I usually do both)
1/4 cup butter
mix above together and put onto apples.
Bake for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees.
How is it that we didn't even remember the vanilla ice cream in the freezer while we plowed through this stuff? Because it was so good it didn't need ice cream. Good without ice cream? What?! I know!
Summary=good recipe.
Enjoy!

I think the best part of this post are the girls' dresses and "game faces." Family nights are the best.
Third picture is by far my favorite! Your kids are too dang cute.
Where was I when this "Princess Frostine" card came into play? Perhaps my parents had the forethought to take it out....which is a shame because I would have loved to share the same expression that Quincy has!
... the type of tantrum that makes men google "Vasectomy." HaHaHa.
