cheifs or chiefs?

 Graham participated in a Spelling Bee at school today - he made it through 3 rounds but on the 4th round he misspelled CHIEFS.  he started out CH....... then paused - I knew he was contemplating IE or EI.... then he finished the word CH......EIFS. 

So many of the kids were nervous when the got up to spell their word - I would have been nervous too!  We are so proud of him.  I felt like I knew every word as they went through the list this morning - Graham has been working very hard on the list of words over the last 2 weeks.... and so have mom and dad :)  84/500 kids were chosen from the 4th and 5th grade classes to compete in the spelling bee.
