chess-ters

The girls had a chess tournament over the weekend.  It was a long long long day, but a good day.  We started at 8:30 and finished around 2:00.  Emmitt and Kenna had to attend as well, and did great considering the long day we all had couped up in the school's gym.  Kelsey played in the 5th & 6th grade division and ended up at 4th place.  Kendal played in the K-2 grade division and won a sweet medal.  She was a little devastated when she didn't win a trophy.  When she asked me why she didn't win one, and I told her "You have to win the chess matches honey, not just win pieces when you play."  Kendal said "You mean you have to beat other kids to get a trophy?"  The thought astonished her!  She cracks me up.  We had a good day together, me and my little chess players!
