Rainy Days

The boys have discovered a new favorite pastime for rainy days - Checkers! It rained most of yesterday morning. I tought the boys how to play a month or so ago and they quickly picked up the strategy side of the game. Matthew gets fussy when he doesn't win and Andrew usually brushes off a loss and moves on to the next match.

The boys thought it would be fun to see who was better...mom or dad. So we had a showdown match yesterday morning that came down to each of us having 3 kings. After several rounds of dancing back and forth, I slowly moved my kings into position for a triple jump sacrifice to end the game. The boys thought it was great and learned about turning a loss into a little bit of fun and laughs. You have to go down swinging!

Special thanks to Uncle Corwyn and Miss Linda for the awesome game box! They also love Snakes and Ladders. Next up...Chinese Checkers.
