May 16, 2015: Ahhhh, the Milkmaid

Last night at the bar and grill, after Skim's violin recital, my wife asks "Why would a restaurant bother to have Miller Lite, Coors Light and Bud Light? Why not just carry one and say you've got them all?"

  1. The trinket had her first dance recital last night. Her class of about 10 or so 3/4 year old girls were dressed in "cake" ballet outfits. It was pretty adorable. They had a three minute routine and she spent the first minute bothering with her hair. But once she got it to stop annoying get, she did really well and clearly knew all the steps. She had two particularly funny moments: when they first came on stage she loudly said "well here we are.", and at the end she had to be the last one off stage

    Then, when they all came back out for the finale, she spent the first few moments waving and saying "hi, dada!"

    1. Skim had a recital last night as well, though this one was of the musical variety (she plays violin). She's only played for a month, but has picked it up quickly. It was a recital for all skill and experience levels, and by the end, I was blown away by these kids.

    2. Our two boys had their spring concert last night, too. The little one is only 16 months, so he pretty much just sat there, and swayed a bit a few times. He did get up any one point to mess with the painted sheet that was hung up behind the kids and almost knocked the whole set down, so that was fun.

      Older boy is 4, so he knew all the songs and sang the whole time, and did some of the dancing. They had a kazoo part at the end that he loved, though the downside is that means the way home involved a kid with a kazoo in the back seat of the car.

      1. Huh, it works for me. Anyway, or was thetweetofgod saying "Steph Curry, holy crap"

    1. Have fun!

      I think the jalapeño is just now ready to go to a Twins game. I'd like to find a weekend day game to go to (or maybe Memorial Day?). If anyone else with young'uns is interested, maybe we could coordinate plans. I figure if he gets bored with the game, it might work out to have another kid or two around to distract entertain him.

        1. I was thinking I'd leave the peperoncino (almost 2) at home since day games are during his nap. I suppose he could nap in a stroller, but then I'd be walking laps around the concourse rather than actually watching the game. Of course, maybe your kid is more flexible than mine about that sort of thing.

          Anyway, just let me know here or by email!

          1. Oh, I forgot about his nap. He starts at 1, making most Sunday games unworkable. Maybe there's a 3:30 or so game that would work.

            1. Looks like just one game that starts in the mid-afternoon: July 11. It starts at 3:05. It's also Phil Hughes bobblehead giveaway day!

              1. That game is just a few days after my birthday, and I can't imagine a better gift than a Phil Hughes bobblehead! And that date should be good for us.

        1. Pete would certainly be an excellent distraction for the jalapeño, so I'll keep this in mind as a possibility to attend with just him.

    2. We'll always be able to tell him about how he was teething and having some problems and then had an explosive blowout onto his mother's lap. He'll love that one.

  7. Nice to see that the Twins brought Phil Hughes back up to the big leagues yesterday.

    1. Just saw that. Hope it isn't too serious, but no, it isn't good news at all.

        2. I haven't seen it, but I've seen others on Facebook expressing this sentiment. Provided you mean crazy in a good way.

      1. I may make an exception on my general anti movie theater policy for this movie. My wife wants to go to Pitch Perfect 2, might be an opportunity for me to go to this while get and her friend go to that.
