Wolves and Fairy Godmothers

   This morning I chaperoned Tessa's 2nd grade class on a field trip. We walked to the high school, about 4 blocks away, to see a school production of "Mother Goose Was Eaten by Werewolves."  The Fairy Godmother and Wolf were walking around, talking to the kids before the show started.

Lesley and Mary Kate

 The kids had an early release day from school, so after lunch, we headed northeast to Palm Beach Shores to meet up with old friends. They had a blast playing in the surf and sand, riding boogie boards, building sand castles, and it was great to spend the time with our friends John and Lesley. I can't believe it's been almost 17 years since we moved from Atlanta, where we were neighbors and great friends. Lesley used to babysit for Kevin, Colleen, and Mary Kate when I worked part-time, and MK was often found cuddling on Lesley's lap. We spent many summer afternoons at their house, along with several other families, the kids all swimming and the moms chatting.

Courtside Seats

Sean and Tessa sitting courtside, watching Clare's basketball game.  During every timeout, water break, and halftime, they ran onto the court with their basketballs and took some shots. Sean never got the ball more than 2 feet above his head, but Tessa made quite a few baskets.
