Monopoly Millionaires

Snow, Shmoe we are enjoying our spring break! The boys and I are settling into a good rhythm, and it only took until Wednesday. It goes like this: they are in charge, if I want a shower cartoons are in order, and when in doubt present them with a snack.
Today we headed to Chelsea to visit the Tree house, and discovered some of the boys' school buddies had had the same idea. Mason played with Henry and Ash played with Freddy, I played with Blake. I took a lot of pictures, but the camera is still upstairs, and I am afraid to go back up to get it. If Blake senses me I won't be able to get another free minute tonight.
After the tree house we had lunch with Sean and I taught the boys to play Monopoly (Jr., that is). I was impressed with Ash, he caught on quickly and the only upset was when he wanted to go to the "watch the fireworks" space and couldn't make the di roll the way he needed it too. I was surprised at how much fun it was , more than regular Monopoly because it doesn't take so loooooong to play.
They boys played outside a lot today too, and made "snow soup with what was left in the backyard- Yum!
Mason came into the house screaming that he had found a dead rat, and when I came out to look I realized that it was a baby bunny. Then we found another, and after Sean got home and started to bury them we discovered three more scattered around the yard. It was so upsetting, being so close to Easter, and just because they were so small and cute- not many animals are still adorable after they've been chewed on by a dog. The boys were pretty upset, and I was a little too, but then Mason said "Don't be sad, Mom, it's just the circle of life. Betcha didn't know I knew about the circle, did ya?" Abby didn't really eat the bunnies, I think she just wanted to play with them and was too enthusiastic (or maybe I'm being ridiculous- she just wanted to kill them, I really don't know) so I don't think the circle of life applies, but wise for a six year old nonetheless.
