Pops

Sometimes friends gnome how to make magic in one's day.

Gnome Pops from sweetniks!

Birthday-Ed

Stuffed with a great dinner.  Mini cupcakes for the kids in lieu of a cake that would warrant left-over eating.  Just giving myself a break before Andrew's birthday celebration in a week and a half. Thanks for all the great birthday wishes.

Girls' Night

It was fun to drive downtown for drinks and a movie with new friends.  We saw Before Midnight in the Egyptian Theater in Capitol Hill.  The theater is switching hands so this is the last movie before it closes.  I loved the first two movies in the series so much, but tonight's movie left me on the fence.

Brung

Read-To-Me

 Summer is here so time to sign up for the Summer Reading Program at our local library.  I can't believe I am filling in three logs this year.  

My new favorite quote:

Solstice

What a gorgeous sunset we just saw for solstice.  We went down to the beach for burgers and bike rides.  We saw jellyfish poking along under the pier.  That was a bit alarming for me.  I seriously fear those things ever since watching a documentary on killer jellyfish.  Tomorrow is the famous Fremont Solstice parade where hundreds of naked, painted people ride bikes down a parade route.  I think we will skip this year and wait until the kids can fully enjoy the humor of all the nakedness.
