We recently went bird watching with some visiting Denver friends, and also went for the first time to the awesome Maker Faire. Now we want to drive a cupcake!

April was full of busy-ness! School started up again with field trips for both kids in the first week, and an ice cream social with dancing. E's class had been taught how to do the YMCA dance, the hustle, and a line dance. E, in particular, really got into it, and got the idea to wear his policeman uniform from Halloween so he could look like one of the Village People. All the parents at the dance loved it, but it went right over the other kids' heads (which is probably a good thing).

Both kids started new sports classes too, with L giving karate a try and E finally getting to try fencing. He's been drooling over the idea since last year, but had to be seven before he could get into the class. Now he's in and loves it -- any excuse to hold a weapon, you know!
