Bad News

Sad news in the House of William.  He didn't get into Chess Club.  I guess they had 3 times as many kids want to do it as they have space.  So they picked names randomly and Wm's wasn't one of them.  He's pretty bummed.  It was the first activity he was really, really excited about.  So bummed that I took pity on him and "battled" him with his toy guys after school today (which is a favorite game of his that I loath).  As we were battling, Wm says, "I'm taking it easy on you - just so you know."

As consolation, here are more pictures:
