Connor wins

So in theory, it's really fun playing games with the boys. And sometimes in practice it is too. But it can also be a little challenging. In the first place, they tend to get a little giddy and out of control. Frequently if there are dice, they are hurled across the board in such a fashion as to knock everything off of its place. Then there is the nearly constant "It's my turn!" thing that happens. Also, if there are any kinds of figures, especially ones with guns (Risk, Star Wars Monopoly), then they can be made to battle, which also leads to the scattering of board pieces.

The final problem is, of course, that neither of them likes losing. Who does really? But Connor especially tends to take it really hard. So we're all happy when Connor wins occasionally. Even Jamie seems to recognize sometimes that this is for the greater good. So here's Connor being classy as he is about to win a game of Sorry.
