We had our spring festival at school today, which was a riot of color and random costumes and sugar. Our girls went as fairy princess butterflies, of course. Iris worked the crowd as usual, with both her entrance and with the wagon. It could be rough for her to go back to the states where she no longer garners special attention just for being blonde. Ruby made the rounds with her new teacher. That transition had meant a couple of rough weeks a while back--there was clearly a new sheriff in town who cracked down on the chit chatting and demanded a little more work but Rub seems to have come around and now loves her and school with a little more enthusiasm these days too. Naturally the whole affair ended with paletas (popsicles), as what would any sort of kid party here be without a massive infusion of sugar?
