Standing with Style

February is upon us.  Time always seems to fly by, but for some reason the Seasons stand still.  In Winter, it feels as though it has always been Winter: Days outside with no coat are but a long lost memory reserved for the Southerners.  As this cold Season threatens to remain forever we are reminded that Spring will soon be here.  How you may ask?  SMASH - Southern Maine Association of Shakespearian Homeschoolers.   

 In March the incredible members of SMASH put on a great production.  This year's production is A MidSummer Night's Dream and helps us all feel as though those days are right around the corner.  Elijah is very excited to be playing one of the manly fairies in this year's production. In preparation for his second production with SMASH we had Eli practice posing in one space, just to see what he would do. All I can say is there are few kids who can stand in one place with such style as Elijah Benjamin Smith!

So if you want to see him and the other fantastic players usher in Spring by putting on an incredible show then you will need to order tickets and come out for a night of fun! Check out MaineShakespeare.com to get the information you need. 

A New Year: A New Do: A New You

Josiah's hair is a running controversy in our house.  You see, when Siah's hair grows it curls ever so slightly.  I find it to be downright handsome.  Who doesn't like a guy with wispy curls?

Tyler, however, finds long curls to be feminine.  He doesn't mind the curls as long as the hair does not get too long.

So, as you can see, we have a dilemma.  Just as Josiah's hair is getting long enough to curl and look great; it is also too long for Tyler to tolerate.

What do we do?  We let it grow to curls, enjoy it a day or two, and then make a fun adventure of cutting them all off!  What would you do?

 Josiah, of course, thinks this is loads of fun!
