Five for Friday

I've been thinking for a long time that I should explain the name of my blog, so I was happy when this linkup-- hosted by Art with Jenny K --gave me an excuse to explain myself. 

I just completed two products focusing on long vowels, and I decided to try my first giveaway.

 Please enter! I'm so worried that no one will enter.

We got some late Christmas presents, I'm teaching my 2-year old colors and shapes with this one.

And then there's this one. Domino Rally.

Who on earth invented this game!?

One hundred fifty pieces!

Usually if you have to spend 2 hours assembling something, you would at least get to enjoy it for a while, but no.  (I'm guessing because we DID NOT get this whole thing set up.) After all that time setting up: you're done in 30 seconds!
And it takes up so much space!
And it needs to be set up on a hard surface!
And those little loop-di-loops for the cars don't really work that well.
And don't forget that domino trains are notoriously difficult to build.

This game might accidentally get lost.

You probably need a relaxing picture after reading the rant above, so here's my dog snuggling with a baby doll.

Happy weekend!
Don't forget to enter the giveaway!
