CHESS

So back in December, Olivia had four teeth pulled by her dentist. (Small mouth, big teeth, hello braces...) She really was a champ at the appointment and the dentist rewarded her kindly with a $25.00 gift card to Target. Yeah, I know. Gone are the days of little rubber bouncy balls and flavored dental floss.

We headed to Target and I figured she would spend it all on gum, mechanical pencils and weird little stuff that kids love. But she has been very wise in her purchases. Her first and biggest purchase was this chess set. It came with all kinds of other games too and she was pretty excited to only have spent $11.00 on it. She has been begging me to play but I haven't a clue what that game is about. Tonight she got Chris into a game the second he walked in the door:

It was really fun to watch the two of them playing together. Chris narrowly won. Apparently Liv is a pretty decent chess player. His comment to me after the game was, "Don't ever play her. She will kill you...."
