Gorgeous day. Ferris Bueller would cut school again on a day like this. Ariel and I took Caroline to the local playground where Caroline ran around like a nut for close to an hour. Went out to lunch, then got a sitter for Caroline. Took Ariel to see “Take the Lead,” which is kind of a combination of “To Sir with Love” and “Strictly Ballroom” if both films were kinda dull. Then again, I’m not the target audience for the film.
Going out bowling tonight. Kath is already over at the lanes for her Monday night league. She showed me the doll she made at the Froud class; very cool. Looks like something Wendy Froud would have made.

Hey PAD, how is Ariel getting all this time off school?
Tom-
Passover and Easter are about the same time this year so they get all that time off for the break (but don’t call it Easter Break)

Yeah, New York state schools run their schedules a little differently than many other states. The students get both a week off for “winter break” in February and a week for “spring break” in April; BUT – less than two weeks Christmas vacation – occasionally as little as six days, I think. Also, school lasts well into June (but doesn’t resume til early September).
And – glad to hear that you’re having such a nice time with your kids, PAD. It may not inspire as many responses as some other threads, but it is interesting to read about.
