Gorgeous glass window. 

"Door window from kindergarten classroom in old school."

Like the spring fair without all the games.

Scenes from my morning walks.

Birthday party six months on

We went to the park and T climbed way up in a tree. Can you spot him?

I zoomed in. 

We took twenty four kids to the pool for a birthday party and they just disappeared in big pool space. Can you spot any kids

They went off the diving board 

They walked back to our house for present opening which we did on the front lawn.

Band trip

This year the grade eights went to Seattle  for their band trip. 

My son plays the tuba and cello so he got to lug those big instruments with him. 

Two busses. Lots of kids. Three days jam packed full of stuff including a trip to see a Phantom of the Opera performance. 

For the next two months we have been hearing the Phantom soundtrack played repeatedly at home.

House fixing

We finally got someone to come and take out the extra vent pipe that was falling down through the kitchen ceiling and dripping when it rained. 

He got it out by pulling it down through the ceiling and then cutting it so it was in two sections. 

There was a one foot section left that wouldn't pull out.

And then he patched up the ceiling better than it was before.

Stuff from April

I thought this grass edge near the elementary school looked kind of like a beach. 

And this is a sadly broken bass at the middle school done accidentally by me when I was picking up my sons cello to bring it home for him. It brushed against the bass standing up which fell over and broke immediately. 

I felt sick, as if l I had killed a living thing. Luckily, later on they were able to replace it temporarily until it could be fixed.
