tuesday after easter

many schools are off this week . . which means many afternoon dance and music classes are on break also. you would think we could get more schoolwork done? no. ellen, their modern dance teacher, tries to pair school children with homeschooled children to catch up on choreographing group pieces, and friends who go to school like to get together, so . . we're busy socializing this week. we also finished reading wonderstruck, by brian selznick. morgana and chanda had already read it, but wanted to read it with me. i really loved it, and look forward to "marty" making a movie of it!

our friend, deychen, is traveling to hollywood for a special old movie festival tomorrow. the girls wanted to have a shopping day with her, so the three of them went to gap and urban outfitters to pick out clothes for the occasion. and then, afterwards (of course), they just had to visit the chocolate bar.

morgana met with lina to work on their group piece for their modern dance class. i knitted and chanda read while they worked . . i filmed a little also, but the camera card was filled with pics of montauk and easter in connecticut, so it couldn't fit all of their dance. i finally just downloaded it, and will have to post soon about our time on montauk. we really loved our few days away.
