Here’s a sneak preview of the girls’ dance costumes – today is picture day!

Anna
Beach Day…Brrr!
Too bad it’s so chilly out there. Apparently that 80 degree stretch of days we had in March was summer, and now it’s fall again. But that didn’t stop Anna from wearing her yellow polka-dot swimsuit to Beach Day at school!
Science Day, School Birthday
Today at preschool it was Science Day, and we celebrated Anna’s summer birthday – the first of many early birthday parties, I’m sure! I got to stay and help make a volcano explode, have fun with magnets, and experiment with bubbles. I think we’re going to have to do some science experiments this summer along with our craft projects…
Happy Mother’s Day!
How could you not smile at this chalk message?
I love my two cute monkeys!

Dance Observation
The girls had dance observation last night. I’m really getting excited for the recital, the dances are so cute!
I am very impressed with how much Carolyn has learned in this next level of dance. Her class changes formations a lot more – no more standing in two lines and just doing different dance steps from there. Anna is in the very littlest class, so their strongest asset is cuteness!
BFFs
Anna doesn’t get to have so many playdates with her best friend Nikki lately, but we did manage to get them together today…and they were wearing the same shirt!
Little House Shawls
One of my favorite things to knit are small shawls – they hug your shoulders and provide a little extra bit of warmth, show off a beautiful single skein of yarn, and there are so many wonderful patterns you would never need to knit the same one twice! Unless, of course, you have two girls, and you stumble across a pattern called “Little House Shawl”.
These were fun (and super easy) to knit. More details about these projects can be found here and here.

April Snow Showers…
…bring the first snow day of the year?
Well, we’re not going to complain about that.
Besides, building a snowman on the deck (there wasn’t enough accumulated on the lawn) and giving him a carrot nose and cheerio eyes? In April? Sounds fun to me!
(Carolyn didn’t fall for my April Fool’s “you’re going to be late for your bus” prank. But she didn’t believe me when I woke her up this morning and told her school was cancelled due to snow. Go figure.)
