Art, Chickens, and Ballet. They go together, right?

Wow, it's been awhile. I have no excuses, only very good reasons. Like I've been sleeping a little here and there. :)

First, because some of you asked to see pictures, here's that thing I did with the kids' art in our stairway. This is just the beginning - there's plenty of art, wall space and green paint to go around!



In other news, we took the chickens outside! It was their first glimpse of the world outside their nesting box in our master bathroom (yeah, I've been showering in the kids' bathroom for a few weeks!). They should be outside permanently in just a few weeks. We've yet to come up with names for them, but we're getting closer. I'll keep you posted!




And finally, we had Charlotte's last dance recital for the year this week. We totally showed up on the wrong day (but not just us - there was another family that thought it was on Monday, too!). Luckily there's a playground nearby.


After that, we went out for Thai food and called it Family Home Evening.

Here are some shots from the actual day, of Charlotte on stage in her tutu:



(This one's her "are we done with this yet?" look ... but I think it's nice anyway.)

(And this one's all: "I'm outta here, I can see cookies over there!")
