This and that

This Saturday, we took a daytrip to Lynchburg to see The Opera on The James’ performance of “Little Red Riding Hood.”

Wolf masks made pre-show.

Frances fell in love with the star of the show and the (much too young) woman who played her grandmother.

Neither of my children would step near the Big Bad Wolf, but I suppose that is a testament to his amazing acting abilities.

We have a playroom, a sunroom, and a den and all he wants to do is play right where I need to cook.

A couple of Frances’s recent school art projects that stood out to me:

So far the score is Squirrel: 2, Lucy: 0.

We’ve even tried putting mineral oil on the post to no avail.  If anyone else has any other brilliant ideas I would love hear.

Some recent pictures of fabric samples Anne and I have been swapping back and forth long distance for my room updates.

I don’t think we’ll even use any of these (the jury is still out), but this has been such a fun process.

Finally, today was yet another snow day from school.  In late March.  A week before Easter.

Dear Mother Nature, while your lovely white powder is beautiful to look at, the kids and I might just kill each other if another one of these unintended days off occurs.

You’re a mother; you understand.

Happy Monday, everyone!
