December 17th: Donate Today was a busy day so we kept advent simple. I always let the kids choose a charity to donate some money too. I donated to Worldbuilders for myself, and they chose animals. Specifically, Donovan wanted to help wolves and Serenity wanted to help foxes.
Serenity was in her first chess tournament! Her first round was with the person who got second place in the tournament overall, and it didn’t start well when she tried to castle but touched her rook before the king. But afterwards she said that game was her favorite. Her opponent wrote down all his moves, and she was inspired to do the same on third game. Her second game she won and somehow ended up with three queens. She lost her last three, but her team won the overall trophy! I think it was a really good day for her!
Meanwhile, Donovan, Maia and I went to lunch at Ted’s! Maia was perfectly behaved, possibly because I hadn’t fed her breakfast and there were chips. We thoroughly enjoyed it though, and after that we went to a birthday party for a boy in Donovan’s class at Skyzone. Soooo much jumping! =)
