Check Mate

We had a visit from MG and Kath today. The kids had fun playing all sorts of games but MG's favourite was a chess game with Grandpa :-)

  1. So cute, San. Kind of strange to see Dave referred to as "Grandpa." Does she really know how to play this? Do you call her MG?

  2. She has a good go with some of theceasier moves and then tries to make up a few of her own rules!! I shorten her name on the blog but she is generally known as Mary x

    1. Me too! She is loving school and has the starting role of Mary in the whole school nativity, not bad for four and a half :-) x

    2. DH here - MG is the only Mary in the school, so maybe she has an assured Christmas role for her time at the school.

    1. Need to encourage Pip! Both her and Ben love Carcassone and Pip's favourite is backgammon :-)

  5. So lovely to catch up with your blog San :) I like to play chess with the boys - they have picked up the rules much quicker than I expected, and are getting close to beating me these days!
    God bless you and your family,
