Our younger two got selected for the local historical fort's "Dame School". There were only 16 spots--I don't know how many applied.

We were there all morning, this morning, working out their clothing. Exhausting, but fun--sort of like playing dressup with several rooms full of clothing. They took care of almost everything--underclothes, dresses, shoes, cloaks, petticoats. The only thing we have to buy is stockings.

Elder dd and I had volunteered for "Auntie School" but when we didn't hear anything we thought we hadn't qualified. It turns out that we *did* qualify--they had us set up in their volunteer hours log and everything--but somehow we were never notified to go to the first day of training. I got to play dress-up today, too! My dress needs altering, but I'll be able to pick it up on Monday next week.

They're repeating the first day of training next month, so we'll go then. What fun! It appears we're all going to be historical re-enactors (maybe docents?) when training is done.
