Here are some things that happened today. M&A had ANOTHER field trip to Politics & Prose. They heard an author – Catherine Jinks – talk about her books and what inspired her. I didn't think the kids were that into…
Today after school, I met the girls at their trailer with A's soccer ball, M's mitt, my mitt, and a ball. It was a beautiful day, and we practiced kicks, dribbling, stealing the ball, pop flies, grounders, and throws at…
A brought home a sheet from school last week called "Meet-Me Wordsplash". She was to write words about herself on the lines to share with her classmates to get to know each other. Here is what she wrote: MY BEST…

Fun, busy day today. M had a baseball game and THEY WON 10-3. She had a great steal home and was walked a few times so she didn't get to show off her hitting. Great game! Daddy and I had…
We had a mellower day than usual today, thanks to Yom Kippur and no sports practices or games other than ballet (because of course the Washington School of the Ballet doesn't close on Yom Kippur). We all went to family…
