Trip stories and reports are still being compiled.

In the meantime, life goes on.

For those of you who might not realize it, biophile6 is a lovely and wonderful houseguest. Aside from being wonderful company and nice to have around, the man planted my entire garden for me while I was away. Seriously. How much does that rock?

Yesterday was Widget's school "concert". In quotes because, well, it was 6 groups of three and four year olds getting up on stage and trying to sing songs in unison. Dropped Widget off where the kids were gathered and found seats. Watched as the kids filed in, noticed that Widget was not to be seen. See the office manager for the school headed my way, and she tells me that I'm needed. Go up to the front to find Widget in tears, panicking about the concert. Hugged her, calmed her down, and then ended up sitting on the floor with her for the whole thing, holding her hand. Once she got up on stage she was fine, singing her little heart out. Watching the teachers trying to herd these large groups of preschoolers around was comical, as was watching how about half the kids actually sang, while the others looked around, played with their hands, lifted up their dresses (Widget did that one, the charmer). If it hadn't been stiflingly hot in the auditorium, it would have been a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

elsterm, have you come across Amy Loves Books in your internet wanderings? I think you would like it.

Wearing her dress like a hat?

[siercia]

Not quite =)

She was sitting in a chair, and seemed to decide that her belly button needed some attention. Up went the dress while she checked things out.

Aaaah, the complete lack of self-consciousness.

You would love the dance recitals at my old studio. We'd have to be down front leading the classes for the ones too young to remember the routines. A third would be watching us, a third would be waving, and a third would be picking their noses or playing with their costumes. And each child went through at least two of these during the 3 minutes they were out there. It was a riot. We'd always have the panicked ones, the ones who were so excited they puked (my brother was one), and the ones who would not stop wandering around checking everything out. It was a blast trying to keep track of them all. They all worked so hard all year, and it was a good reward for parents who kept them coming week after week to see all their work pay off.

That does sound like fun. Chaos, but fun.

I haven't read it, thanks for the recommendation!

The concert sounds like fun, it's too bad they can't do them all in the spring and fall though when it's not so hot.

Can't wait to hear about the trip.

I hope you enjoy it =)

The concert was fun, and cute. Totally more for the parents than the kids though.

I always think I'm too down for most people...and I like gardening!

Most people, perhaps. Siercia and myself? Naaaah. I completely understand your need to just lounge around near someone playing NWN. It's allll good, baby.

[biophile6.livejournal.com]

Thats good.

Being nearby someone that I think gets it, thats cool. Especially if theres no pressure, like that pin drop time with some people where you want to

a) jump out of your skin
b) die
c) shriek
d) order more food

Yeah, I dont get that around you two.

[siercia]

You are most definitely not too down for me. I like having you around, you're thoughtful and smart and good to talk to.

=)
