ballerina

 When I was in preschool, apparently I liked to wear pantyhose, dresses, or my bathing suit everywhere I went, and my teachers had to call me Ashley-princess-Rainbow Bright-cheerleader-ballerina-etc etc etc. It appears that Suzy also has a bit a girly-girl too...her new thing is dressing up like a ballerina and dancing. And wearing dresses in general (but with pants underneath and socks...like a good Salvadoran, she hates being barefoot and showing her bare legs.) Here are a few pictures and videos of her dancing:

We are also loving the local thrift stores and yard sales...we got her this cool pop-up tent/house thing for $2 with attachable tunnels, and an Elmo backpack for less than a buck. score.
Plus, we got a new computer since our old one was on its last leg, but we needed to buy Microsoft Office for it, which is $90 on amazon. We had been putting it off, and I found it this weekend at a yard sale for $10! It was exactly what we needed, and it was not even a pirated copy! double score!

And this is Suzy trying to do the Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers....
