Hard at Work

Today was Purim and that means the teachers are dressed as Snow White, bees, ladybugs, queens, ballerinas and Dorothy.  The kids are in disguise, too - ghouls, hippies, princesses, and cowboys running around the playground and having a fun time.  We cheered on Mordechai and booed Haman, ate cotton candy, listened to drummers and exchanged food baskets. I do love Purim!

Footnote to Tuesday

 

It's a little surreal and it definitely has sparked a lot of differing opinions. 

Isn't that what art is all about?

Sleeping Beauty

Ariel spends a lot of her day at the dance studio and by 7 or 8 pm - she's exhausted. She's very well behaved and very much loved by everyone, but her grandpa is the one she loves.  She sits in his lap and "helps" him with the music, She shows us how to tendu and pirouette and fans us when we ask. Last night, Valeri had her in his lap and she was sound asleep in 2 seconds. Here is Mr. Valeri showing us the next dance combination with a sleeping beauty in tow.

No Peeking!

A new art installment is awaiting it's unveiling...we know the artist is Jose Sacal and the name is "First Step". We also know that it's a sculpture of a foot. Anymore,  we don't know, but the speculation is quite entertaining.

Drink for Health

We always knew a glass of red wine was healthy, and now we're validated by CVS pharmacy. (I also had to validate myself to the manager of the store after taking the photo)

Happy Birthday Dianne!

It took her a few minutes, but Di finally found the "creepy thing" in the photo. Lee always finds it hysterically funny when the secret is out.

A New Home

Not sure if this is a mommy bird or a daddy, but someone has found a very nice place to build a nest.  We're a little worried about how the babies will fly away, but for now - the nest building is quite fascinating to Darby and Madeline.
