Back on the Homefront...

...my mom kept the kids in line and was even totally open to taking them to a Chess Tournament all day Saturday. They did awesome! They both won trophies and each won 3 games, stalemated 1, and lost 1 (total of 5 games). I had fully prepped my mom and told her they could possibly lose all 5 games. So she told me she was quite prepared for pep talks if they lost, but "they kept winning!". haha. She said she had barely left the competition room during the first game when Christian ran out and said he won, doing the 4-move checkmate. :)

They got trophies for 5th place (Christian, 3rd grade category) and 4th place (Olin, K-2 category). Their team won 1st place for K-2!

Heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's for $9 for Valentine's Day. haha. A family Valentine's Day topped off by Ninja Class.

Heart-shaped slime.

Came in to our room tonight to see Christian absorbed in a knitting book loaned to me by their piano teacher Onnie.

hahaha. He said there are a lot of stitches he wants to try but 'they look hard'
