Pocket Check

Today I was checking Noah's pockets before doing laundry and in one pair of pants I found:

3 pennies
1 toy suitcase
2 cars
1 otter pop wrapper
1 dime
1 marble
2 pieces of string
1 shoelace
1 lego
2 toy cups
1 pebble
1 stick from a lollipop

I'm am fearing the day I find something alive in his pockets. Although hopefully I'll find the frog/snail/worm/mouse before it goes through the laundry....ugh!

One week to go!!

This time next week will the be the last day of craziness. Our schedules will calm down, Geary will be home more, the weather will be nice, and we will get a summer break of sorts. March through May just flew by...I can't believe tomorrow is June!

Family Fun Day





















Today we went to the Folk Life Festival at the Seattle Center for another Family Fun Day. We sat down to have lunch at the International Fountain and Noah looked up and said, "Oh! Look, Mom! It's the Space Noodle!" A guy sitting near us overheard and I heard him chuckle into his cell phone and tell whoever he was talking to about the Space Noodle Kid. Noah's cuteness is about to overtake the world...

Some highlights of the day:


  • Hearing a concert choir practice for competition in the parking garage. Great acoustics!
  • Helping Noah "make" a wooden toy boat. He got to use a manual drill and a hammer!
  • Chocolate Chip Mint hot fudge sundae.
  • Carousel
  • Noah waving to us as he "drove" a jeep around a circular track
  • The wedding party trying to take pictures in the middle of the crowed Folk Life Festival...guess somebody forget to see if any events were going on when they were wedding planning!
  • Noah telling a baby with a Thomas train on the elevator that he likes Thomas, too.
