WhooHooo! I have a first place Chess Champ in the house. Athena just took part in her first tournament for beginners this morning. She played three games, winning two with the third ending in stale mate. All the kids participating were from grades 1 through 6 and all first timers so what age you play against didn't matter. The awards are given out according to your grade group, so Athena placed first out of all the other 4th through 6th graders.
I am finally putting up another project picture. I was very frustrated with the price of pants for babies and how bad they can fit that I made some myself for little Isi. Not bad huh? I plan on making a few more and have already finished a pair of long shorts.
Ted, Athena, Hera, Kash and Yiayia are all off to the Challenger Space Center to participate in a simulated space mission. I can't wait to go one of these times and look forward to hearing about all of it. Anyone out there with kids in third grade or older who want to go? No one said I need to go with a kid, other interested adults work too, all you have to do is get your butt down here!
Hugs and kisses from all of us,
Charmaine
