quiet afternoon

Eva, Elle and Rick went to the Y to work out and swim. (No school because of semester break.) I got caught up on laundry and paid a few bills. I'd hoped to drive up to Manitowoc to see Grandma, but the snow is piling up...there's about 5 inches on the ground and it continues to come down heavily. Tonight Elle and Aliyah dance. One of Elle's ballet costumes is a pirate, complete with a sword. (Not sure how that works with ballet.) Her hip hop dance is to a 70's Michael Jackson tune. Jazz and tap costumes are pretty simple and inexpensive. Thank heavens recital is every other year. This year the performances are on Mother's Day weekend. Elle will be in all 4 shows, while Aliyah is in only 1. Also, for the local folks, let me know who'd like to see the "Wizard" on April 11,12 and 13. The performance on the 13Th. is a matinee. Should be a busy spring.
