things seen recently

Big day yesterday, but I can't really offer more than pictures, because I'm afraid of hurting someone's feelings via google.

Here are the salient points: Emily's dance troupe performed. She was, obviously, fabulous, and cute as can be. See those pants? I had to take them to the tailor to get shortened. No mere mortal can sew on super-stretch green polyester.

Emily won a round of the cakewalk. The kids walk in a circle and, when the music stops, each kid is on a number. Then, I guess, a number is pulled from a hat and, if it's your number, you got to choose a cake from the PTO room. She picked a giant frosted soccer field (the pretty cakes are one of the advantages of going early) and we left it at school for her to share with her class today. Made her a superstar, I did. She brought home the leftovers, which were very well-received.

Then came the moment for which I will surely burn for all eternity. Remember when I was all bummed because I couldn't show you all the quilted jacket because I had no camera in my bag? Well, this time, I was there to take a picture of the dance recital! When this woman, who I am sure is a fine and kind and decent human being, crossed my path, I pretended to take a picture of Emily, just so I could share the vision with you. I wonder if you can appreciate the full beauty of the sneakers, which were not just pink, but pink and white checked. And it's a running suit! Where do you think she ran last? Anyway.
