Friday Things

This blog post from Jen Hatmaker about limping across the finish line for the last days of school has been making the rounds and it cracks me up.  It seems like only yesterday I was bemoaning the endless amount of paperwork and beginning of school craziness.  Now it's end of year craziness!

Last day of Toddler Group - she wasn't into posing with her certificate this year...

Yep, there are so many signups, paperwork, teacher gifts, etc. etc.  But, oh, we got to experience our first elementary school concert last night.  

I was having trouble uploading to Youtube, so I took this screenshot - just imagine the dulcet tones of forty or so Kindergartners singing 'do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, do'

Watching all the kindergartners file onto the stage with the big lights shining on them and singing their scales to warm up just about killed me dead.

Trying to do homework in this weather is about to kill me dead, too...

Seattle summers are incomparable.  Could be why it was just named the most popular city in America (link from Huffington Post).  The HuffPo article is also linked in this, 37 Things You Should Know Before Moving to Seattle.  I have yet to dig up a geoduck, but man, the library system here IS the bees knees.  I should get one of those librarian action figures...

Speaking of books, here are 25 Signs You're Addicted to Books from Buzzfeed.  I think one of the reasons I love Seattle is that I totally agree with #7.

For the playlist, I'm going with another favorite DJ from my youth, who's still relevant today.  

Pair of Dice by Tiesto (released last year)
