Hello Everyone,

After hearing about this group in the last week from at least three different
people and their saying how great it is I decided to join. My name is Ginny
Hunt and we homeschool/unschool with our four children (Ryan 18, Jonathan 10,
Josiah 8, and Victoria 5) in Virginia. :::waves::::

I just had to comment on the Candy Land thread because my daughter's birthday
in December was themed "A Unicorn in Candy Land" -- ha! She had chosen some
birthday party plates that portrayed a magical rainbow and white unicorn amid
candy flowers and a gingerbread castle, so we ran with the Candy Land theme
because we had an old game from when my oldest was a toddler in the mid
eighties. The graphics change over the years and my daughter was fascinated
with the different characters and how they differed from the ones she knew
today. Anyway, we had made a gingerbread house so we put the old game board
in the center of the table and plopped the gingerbread house on top of it and
set the little colored gingerbread men game pieces around it. I made a
unicorn shaped cake and served all kinds of fun foods like sparkly pink
Jell-o in plastic champagne glasses and pastel mini marshmallows in gold foil
cups. A day or so before the party I baked large gingerbread men that the
kids decorated during the party.

So there's a better use for the game than actually playing it. Ha!

~Ginny
