Chess Club: we challenged staff members from school to come play chess with us. Three brave teachers came to play. Oliver challenged his social worker (who is amazing!). And Lucius played against the school Librarian.
Lucius and I also taugh our chess club how to play a four person chess game called "double Bughouse". They were all instantly hooked. Lucius and his partner were pretty unstoppable but more importantly is how much fun these kids have playing chess in any shape or form.
Oliver helped Mormor cut out some sugar cookies one evening before bed. He is all about cooking or helping cook lately.
Lucius Birthday is coming up so his Teacher made him the special kid of the week. He had to make a poster to tell his class all kinds of things about himself. The poster gets to hand right outside his classroom for a few weeks.
Oliver got a recorder from school and though his does not like to practice has played his first song. He also has become obbsessed with the violin. I have wonder for a long time what his new obbsession besides bunnies would be and it looks like it just might end up being a violin. He has checked out a ton of books to learn all about it.
The weather is again above zero so they boys have been absolutely LOVING playing outside in the snow. Especially the extra large piles of snow on the edges of the townhouse's parking lot across the street from our house.
Lucius made the paper, well the local review anyways. He's pretty excited about seeing his face in print.
