Well, we lost

The tug-o-war was a debacle, just as I predicted... the seniors whupped us good. I did get pictures, but you'll have to wait until I can get them uploaded.

I also got some pictures of Isaac's first violin recital this afternoon. His violin is soooooo tiny! He stood next to Gloria, who's this adorable little girl in his kindergarten class, and I sat next to Gloria's mother, who spoke very little English but who was obviously very proud of her little girl as well. I chatted with her in Spanish a bit.

Dance recital rehearsal again tonight; Isaac wore his stage makeup for the first time. "I look like a girl," he observed. Except for the hair, he kind-of does. He's got very pretty eyes and long lashes. "But I'm not a girl," he said. "I'm a pirate."

I tried last night to post progressive photos of creating Alice's recital hairstyle, but even though I uploaded the photos onto my Yahoo! briefcase, I'm not able to link to them. I need to e-mail Kevin to ask him, since he's my resident expert on such things as posting photos. There are free services, yes, I'm aware of it -- I've used Picasa's Hello program on this blog a few times already. But I am paying for some bandwidth, and I'd like to start hosting my own photos and doing some more creative things with my blog.

I've got two papers to write (group papers, not all by myself) this weekend, not to mention the fact that the dance recital is tomorrow, so posting may be a bit light. I'll check in when I can.
