Life on Earth Dominoes



Brae has really been into board games lately and I fully support this new development. What nights we once spent watching recorded episodes of Monster Jam on the Speed channel, have now been replaced with Chutes and Ladders, Candy Land and Operation. Obviously, the amount of brain activity during one game of Candy Land is more than quadruple the amount during Grave Digger's freestylin' run. In fact, I think that for every '86 Geo Metro crushed under the weight of the gargantuan rubber tires of a monster truck, a child drops an IQ point.

Is it only coincidence that it is called the Speed channel? I think not.

So I found this set of Dominoes on http://www.eeboo.com/ and immediately fell in love with the illustrations by Melissa Sweet. Eeboo has become my new go-to site for children's gifts and I would buy one of everything if I could. They are, admittedly, a little girly. But I love the retro look they have and something slightly more feminine was necessary to counteract his previous influence.
