Chess Tournament

Saturday Lindsey was in a chess tournament at her school. She started to learn how to play chess through an after school chess club at her school. I cannot believe she is learning how to play chess. I tried to learn one day and was so confused!! She only won one game, but she was playing against kids older than her. She was upset that she only won one game, but Laurie explained to her that she was younger than all the kids and that some day she would be able to win like they did.

Book Character Dress Up Day

Friday was book character dress up day at Laurie and Lindsey's school. Laurie went as Emily Elizabeth and Lindsey was puppy Clifford. Lindsey wore all red with little red ears... she even had a black nose! That big red thing in the pictures is a big red backpack that is in their school library.
