In an attempt to move the dance gear from our living space, I quickly rigged up this little dance station in the attic. It has places for for shoes (current and ‘to grow into’), dance bags, leotards, tights, hair and makeup, and costumes. It’s not pretty, but it is all in one space, and for now I like it!

It was a two library kind of day today. Caught this snap of Catherine on third floor of the Cambridge library this afternoon. She’s just getting a few pages read in between Pokemon battles.

Esme and I played a great game of Doctor Who Monopoly today. I was especially glad to see that I was finally being recognized for my scientific expertise, rather than by looks alone!

Over the years we have had varying levels of success when it comes to growing our own food. Weather, travel, sporadic interest and rabbits have all wreaked havoc with our attempts. The girls have both shown renewed interest in growing the things they like, both veggies and flowers, and today they planted seeds on a heavy duty plant caddy. With any luck, this time everything with be in our favor and we’ll have a little harvest come the end of summer.

Visited friends for a play date, came home with a dozen eggs.

Esme calls the green ones “Martian Eggs.”

Welcome, Spring!

Sweet moment between two tech enthusiasts.

Esme had her second of two dance competitions today. When asked what her favorite part of the competitions was she immediately answered, “the dressing room!” She clarified, “I like being with my team and friends and the older girls. We just have fun!”

These girls performed with big smiles, did their best and came home with a couple of trophies. A job well done!

Some new artwork in our house, alongside the photo inspiration. It is the view from the top of the ski mountain, photo taken in February.

Quick snowbank climb on our way to the museum this evening. We love Salem in all kinds of weather!
