Oh Beans!

Ever since we got our iPad, I have been on the hunt for games that keep Kaci engaged for more than 3 minutes.  We have found a few good ones - one is a puzzle app with ocean creatures.  Another app has a variety of activities that revolve around dinosaurs.  One game she kept asking for though was called beans...at least this is what she called it.

Since Kaci runs with a pretty small group of kids, I quickly narrowed it down to 3 people that could help me find out more about this game called beans - her cousins.  Sure enough they were able to fill me in.  CANDY CRUSH they told me.  Gasp!  Could it be?  I have heard rumors of this game ruining perfectly productive people!  Even costing some hundreds of cents each month!  No way was I dancing with that devil.

Fast forward to this past Sunday at 10:15 p.m.  I decided to take 15 minutes while lying in bed to check out this CANDY CRUSH.  Lights out at 10:30 p.m....at least that was the plan.  The next thing I know it is 11:36 p.m. and I am out of lives.  11:36 p.m.!  Sunday!

Sad to say that Monday brought more of the same.  I am addicted.  However, I have not put the app on my phone and have not spent any money on it, so I feel I am still in control (for the time being).

Oh beans!

In other news, Halloween was a hit in our house.  This is the first year that Kaci pounded the pavement for candy.  Check out this cute little witch:

And of course a trip to the pumpkin patch:

Which resulted in these:

We always have high hopes for scary, evil looking jack-o-lanterns...but that is easier said than done.  Jolly is much easier to attain.
