I am so lucky to be raising the reincarnation of Heloise (Scarlett). She cleans the other kids' rooms with pride and picked and placed hyacinth blossoms on the dining room table and at my bedside. She added a few hickory nut hulls "to keep the flowers company."

Georgia made her own contribution with the bouquet of hand-drawn flowers

The stage is the awesome creation of cool dad Eric Witt. We greatly benefited from the Witt's move to smaller digs and inherited this cool piece of kid furniture. Behind the curtain are 2 tubs of dress-up stuff and a basket of plastic microphones!

So, pesach. The floor to ceiling clutter control task is complete (Janine laughing) except for this cupboard. This is one of those cupboards you should be wearing a hard hat to open. So still to tackle are this cupboard and a complete wiping down of the ins and outs of all food and dish cabinets. Invested in a tiny collection of springish passover-ware, but plan to build the rest of the collection at yard sales over the years.

Planning the rockingest kid seder ever-I made felt plagues yesterday, there will be hail falling and frogs jumping and water changing colors....
