This and that

Frances’s dance class had their second open house last week:

Which also means it was my second annual “take 100 pictures in a row of adorable, round tummies in black leotards” day.

Rehearsing their recital piece with actual stage lighting.

I picked up these beautiful tulips from Kroger last week.

George insisted he have his picture taken with the red bouquet, since they matched.

Frances and Marshall reenacting one of our favorite books, Dr. White.

If you don’t know that story, I high recommend it.  Make sure you have a box of tissues handy though.

Another easy-peasy recipe:

Crock-pot BBQ

-         4 pounds pork shoulder

-         1 jar of your favorite BBQ sauce

-         1 can of Coke

8 hours on HIGH in the crock-pot.  Add a little coleslaw and baked beans and you have yourself a meal that Frances will devour within seconds.  So, so good.

A couple of weekends ago, USA Yoga held their annual championship and one of our Richmond yogis competed.

The kids were mesmerized watching the participants and quickly realized the poses look much easier than they actually are:

Will is a natural though.

Happy weekend, everyone!
