Today was officially the last day of winter. For some reason, spring here starts a few weeks earlier than the equinox, but we don't mind. Ro's class had a cupcake sale today, which meant Sherry spent most of yesterday baking cupcakes. She's become quite the PTA mom. To get Ro out from under her feet while she baked, Mark took him to Drury Park. Despite the intermittently rainy weather, there were a few other kids he knew there, and he spent a couple of carefree hours spinning around on the Witches Hat or sliding down the wet metal slide and generally getting as muddy as possible.

Ms Carr was hoping for some plain ones so the kids could have fun decorating them in class; Sherry jumped to the rescue and quickly came home to whip up another batch in time for the lunchtime bake sale. While at the school, she noticed one of the class projects hanging up, where everyone drew a picture of fire, and wrote a sentence or two to go with it. Most of the kids' sentences were along the lines of: "my fire is hot," "don't touch my fire, it burns," and "my fire has leaping flames." Mat, one of Ro's classmates who until recently was living in Syria, told about an actual kitchen fire at his house there! Ro's was a little less, uh...Terran:
