Spring Concert

Athena's school held a Spring concert with just the K, 1st and 2nd Grade performing. It was an evening of concentrated cuteness. The Kindergardeners sang "John Jacob Jingle Heimersmith," "Hush Little Baby","Jesus Loves Me" and a "Spanish Words" song. All with hand gestures to match. The dress was "Fancy Spring," so, you know, a new dress was in order. Luckily Kohls was selling its Easter dresses for over 70% off!

Athena wanted everyone to be equally well dressed and tried to put one
of Chris' ties on the Dude but he wasn't having it.

I had hopes that my little hammy star would sit through a few photos before we left.

Cute...but maybe not for Yiayia's wall?

We even attempted the ever elusive photo with Mommy but this was the best of the series.
And we couldn't be late for the concert, so we had to go.

As the concert began, the audience sat in rapt attention.

Except for Jack who was more interested in Chris' phone. Chris met us at the event and had to leave directly from there for this softball game (hence the tee shirt).


At the end of their last song, I stood up for one final photo, and check out what my shy girl did when she caught sight of me.

After the lovely, and brief, performance, we took some photos with our besties outside.

Athena's best friend is suffering from some health difficulties, so some prayers would be welcome for this little one.

We love her alot and Athena is desperately sad at school without her. Hopefully she'll be back before the end of the year (in two weeks!!).

I'm not exactly sure what the Dude is doing here.
It's like some still from 70's police drama, is anyone else getting a Starsky and Hutch vibe?

And to cap off a lovely evening we went out for dinner with our Mimi - a send off for her craoss country trip to New York where she will be for the Whole. Entire. Summer.
