    Monti’s class went to the local community college’s planetarium. Monti was pretty disappointed to find out it was simply a domed classroom. It was not like the planetarium in Chicago. We did, however, enjoy the presentation given to us. In the end we ended up with more questions about space than answers. At home we brought out…

    This green dress would be really hard to pull off at anything besides a costume party.

    Maggie left several plants at our house when she went to London. These houseplants probably belong in Southern California where the sun shines most of the year instead of Seattle’s 5-months-of-sun/year. Last year I barely kept them alive through winter. This year I was so excited to find this plant shooting up new shoots and…

    I took Monti to see Cats in Seattle. At intermission Monti was so tired she asked if we could just go home. We had a little treat and decided to stay. Luckily we did because the 2nd act included our favorite song “Mr Mistoffelees”.

    The play they are doing at school this time is High School Musical 3 . At the tryouts the drama teacher encouraged everyone to try out for every role. He was able to get a better idea of what role he would give each of the kids. Dahlia finally decided she would try doing one…

    After an extensive scavenger hunt through the house the girls and I packed up to go to a friend’s house for Easter. Chelle had several families over for brunch and an Easter egg hunt. Among all the hidden plastic colored eggs there was a golden egg with a special prize in it. Monti had seen…

    We were so busy spring break going from one play date to another that we never had time to color eggs. Saturday evening 20 minutes before bedtime we quickly colored a dozen eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide.

    In the downtown shopping area of Issaquah they hold an Easter egg hunt for kids and adults. For the adults they add coupons and free samples to their eggs. This year we decided to go. I believe calling it an egg hunt is mislabeling the event. Kids stood in line at store doors to collect…
