Today was a really really big day for 2 reasons.

Number 1: It was the first snow. (Ok, I really hate to keep coming back to this "perfect storm" of a week for educators and their beloved students, but really Mother Nature???  You just had to throw the very first snow into this week??  So cruel.)

Number 2: Bennett Daniel learned how to play chess "For real, Mom.".  He's been playing for years, a modified version, but not any more.  Bennett sat down with his friend at KidStop and picked up the theory in a short 30 minutes.  Andy and Bennett have played 3 games, and the Boy has won every single time. "For real, Mom.  Daddy's not even letting me win."

 And, Daddy wasn't letting him win - I could tell by the look on his face (and the cursing under his breath...).
