2011, week twelve

Why do all the second grade girls have their hair up? L-i-c-e. Fortunately, no one else--including Lexi and me--got it.

2011, week eleven

The AASSP cast of Into the Woods.

(Note the darling little chicken sitting stage right.)

I decided to costume them in black with one accent piece in color. I think it worked well.

(for the curious) R-L, front to back:

Jack's Mother, Jack, Red, Cinderella, C's Prince

Baker's Wife (whom I adore--she's been in all my shows here. Her favorite roles, according to her bio in this program were a flying monkey in Wizard of Oz and a bird girl in Seussical! She was also Wendy in Peter Pan and Helena in Midsummer. ), Baker, Mysterious Man, Witch, Rapunzel's Prince, Rapunzel

Giant's hen, Steward, C's Stepsisters, Wolf, Granny, Mama Bear, Goldilocks

Narrator, Cinderella's (dead) Mother, C's Stepmother, Baby Bear

2011, week eight

This box cracks me up.

Unbeknownst to me, Lexi put it in our Target shopping cart on one of our stock-up trips this summer.

Do you see that it is in Braille? Of course the Braille only says, "band aid". It doesn't mention that it's Hello, Kitty Band Aids. Can you imagine some blind executive showing up for work with one of these covering a shaving nick?

And the side tells you to seek professional help for medical emergencies. I guess Kitty isn't an MD.

2011, week seven

At Shuvolovka, celebrating Maslenitsa.

2011, week six

On R 'n' R (Read and Relax) Day, we had a tent up in second grade. (This was a very overstimulating day for Lexi. Actually, all of February was with one special day after another.) AND it was the day that Lexi "got" to take Albert home for the week.

2011, week five

Lexi wants a car just like this one when she's old enough to drive.
