Sugar and Spice

Last night was a rough night for Josie (to say the least). She was tired and wouldn't give in and go to sleep, so things just kept getting worse and worse for her.

Eventually, she was pouring on the drama better than any award winning actress in recent history.

So, this leads into tonight. Josie and I were in Walmart, picking up a few things when she picks up a pink paint sample named "sugar and spice". She then begins to sing the "little girls are made of" song.

I tell her that I don't think it applies to her.

"why not? Its what little girls are made of" and proceeds to sing the song again.
"really? How about last night?"
"oh, that was the spice."
uh-huh. "really?" I am laughing at this point.
"yup...someday, I'm going to use up all of my spice and then I will be all sugar" She is VERY sure of this statement.
"are you trying to use it all up before you're 10?" This statement receives the legendary "MOM" look.

Chess Club Fun

Wyatt has developed a new interest in chess (a nice 'little' break from Pokemon). He decided that he wanted to sign up for a 6 week after-school chess 'club'. He really seemed to enjoy it.

Today, he "officially" became part of the TK Chess club "Pawn Storm". He was SO excited when he got his t-shirt that proclaimed him one of the team!

There is a chess tournament this Saturday, which he did decide to enter. I am so proud that he choose to venture from what he knows to something new. I am also glad that he enjoys chess.
