School Dance = Unadulterated Joy

Simon's school held it's Winter Wonderland dance on Friday night.

It was pretty spectacular to watch.

And it was also a basket raffle.  Simon won!  So we now have several cool board games we wouldn't have ever owned otherwise- Cranium (the SpongBob version), Fibber, Dominoes, Flash Scrabble (very cool) and a few others we haven't even opened yet.

Think he was happy he won?

Highline

 We took a lovely walk on the Highline last weekend in the warmer weather.

There were even some tiny signs of spring.

Notice anything about handsome Will?

Another picture of Will to help you figure it out...

New facial hair!  Why not try something new?

Valentine

Simon gave us this Valentine.  Pretty great.  Pretty much typical Simon.

Phoebe'a Birthday

Don't worry- it's just Simon.

He's wearing a fish mask- fish were one of the themes of Phoebe's party.

Simon and Phoebe have been friends a long time.  It's nice.

Happy Birthday Phoebe!  

(her cake is a hamster- the other half of the party's theme.)

Band Concert

Simon performed in his first band concert recently.  It was… screechy.  But very nice to see.
