Woo hoo! A new post!

Okay, need to catch up a bit.

There was this play at school, and MonkeyBoy was all excited to be in it. I signed up to help make costumes, and here they are (the play was the Little Mermaid):






Alas, the pressure turned out to be too much for him, so this is how he spent the performance, instead of being on stage:




We all had a good time and went out for ice cream anyway. :-)


Next: Easter, aka Spring

So you know I'm pretty much an agnostic/pagan/Jew/humanist, right? As you might imagine, this makes holidays, um, complicated. So I talk a lot about celebrating the rebirth of the Earth, all the plants coming back to life and baby birds and animals and all that jazz, but we still call it Easter, because that's what everyone calls it and it's just easier that way. So anyway, the new tradition in the last couple of years is that we hunt for eggs, both dyed ones and plastic ones with candy or money, and we have a tea party, and then we do something fun.

This year we went to the plant nursery to see the flowers and to the feed store to see the chicks on the actual equinox, then on that Sunday went to a park playground and had a great time. I especially enjoyed playing with the toy plane and the bubble stuff. Ahem.

Anyway, here are a few pics of the day:





In other news, MonkeyBoy decided that the Shag of Doom hairstyle (see above) was getting in his way and making him too hot, so he asked me to shave his head. Seriously. Check these out:





That's not even all of the hair. There was more, lots more. Then he wanted it shorter. We ended up at an eighth of an inch. He said no one, not even his teacher, recognized him at school. He thought it was hilarious.
