If life were a game of CandyLand...

we would be stuck on a licorice space right now.

So instead of staying in a state of slight depression and stress, I delighted in the insight I had on my life during a simple game of candyland this morning....


Starring Isabella as Lolly



Moses as Jolly



Buddy as Mr. Mint




And Kristen as Frostine (isnt she so pretty!)




All they wanted to do was make it to Candyland. Although they knew they would eventually get there, the evil Lord Licorice stopped at nothing to thwart their attempts...what a mean one.



To keep their spirits up, they went swimming in the chocolate swamp everday...they very much enjoyed the chocolate swamp. Very much enjoyed it I say.
They had much help from Gramma Nut. She loved them alot. There was also Grampa Nut and Great GramaNut..the nut family goes way back..neverless, they all loved Lolly, Mr. Mint, Jolly and Frostine.




Sometimes you just need to go through a few Lollipop woods to get to your candyland.,,dont let the little guy fool you, its not that yummy.




but more sooner than later you always get to your candyland...one colorfull square at a time.

ahhh, too sweet. You won't be stuck on the licorice patch for long, eventually, it will dry out and you'll get to move ahead. But way to enjoy the lollipops in the meantime. Your are so cute.

Kristen,

I forgot about all your wonderful insight into life. Struggle student life doesn't last forever and it really brings you closer together.
