Candy Crush - SWEET!

I have been thinking about my kindergarteners and the kinds of things they might write about.  I know that my 2nd grade daughter loves to write books about things she knows a lot about.  She made one book about all of the Super Mario characters she knew about, another about sea creatures, numerous books about SpongeBob, and even one about every restaurant she has ever gone to.   I figured this might be a good place for my kindergarteners to start writing, and as I was thinking about it, Candy Crush came to my mind.

It still needs a lot of work, but here it is...

 

Candy Crush 

 

     I love Candy Crush!  I am addicted to Candy Crush!  I can't stop playing this crazy game!   I started playing a few months ago, and I just can't stop! 

 

     Who came up with this idea?  All you have to do is line up three of the same colors in a row.  Doesn't sound difficult, does it?  Then why have I been staying up late each night just trying to crush some candy? 

 

     I see the levels that I haven't reached on the map haunting me and I think, "I need to get to each of those levels.  I NEED to get better at this game.  Really?  Do I NEED to play this game over and over and over? 

 

     Luckily for me, and so many other Candy Crush addicts out there, there is a limit of playing only five games before getting kicked off the game and needing to recharge/refill up your lives.  If this limit wasn't imposed on me, my children may never get fed or the dishes may never get done.  I guess that is how the geniuses behind this game make their money because you can always buy another life to keep playing.  Not me!  I am not that addicted  I have WILL POWER!  (okay, maybe I am just cheap!)

 

    I have even sucked my seven year old daughter, Campbell, into this pit of addiction.  She knows how to get me every time, "Mom, would you like to play Candy Crush with me?"  in her sweet little voice.  Who can resist spending quality time with your daughter doing something we both love?  (She and I both know she has used up her ipad time for the day, but somehow I fall for it again and again).

 

     For those of you who haven't yet experienced the Barry White - "SWEET" or ever seen a "FIVESIE" (Campbell and my own name for the beautiful candy that appears when you line up five in a row), you probably think I am completely nuts.  But for those of you kindred spirits out there who are just as addicted as I am, what level are you on?  It is a pretty awesome game!
