On our way back from Eastern Washington, we stopped and visited friends in Seattle.
I really like downtown Seattle, it's a neat place. I enjoyed it this time through the eyes of a dog owner. It's a very dog-friendly city. We had lunch at our favorite Crepe place and took Emma with us inside.
I have to confess that a big part of my Seattle-love is the great photo opportunities. Downtown Seattle is a feast for the eyes.

Demi-Sky had his very first lacrosse game this weekend.
Have I mentioned that Demi is now taller than I?
We weren't the only family totally new to the game of lacrosse. Several boys were new to the game, and at times it was sheer comedy. We parents had a good time laughing at the antics. The stick-hitting was a total surprise to me. We asked in surprise "is that legal?!"
it's a tough game.
here's the tip-off, or whatever you call it in lacrosse. Have to admit, we laughed through this, too. We were used to seeing it done in hockey, but the kids stand over the puck, we were surprised to see the guys on the ground here... this is Demi in blue.

- Sky is currently making us a new bed. He is using this design from Ana White plans -Farmhouse queen bed
- I am trying to get my homeschooling more organized. 13 years and school organization is my swan-song; or, more to the point, my albatross-song. There is an interesting discussion on organization and motivation over at the hive boards. This site, The Power of Moms was linked to. It seems to be a organization-central site, with an e-book, a program and message boards. I know for me, I would crash and burn with it, but I thought I'd mention it, it might be just the sort of program to help someone else, just not me... They were running a special discount last week, keep your eyes peeled and you might see another sale.
- Mystie, who blogs over at Simply Convivial is running a series on home/ life organization here- Applying GTD at Home. She is also working on an E book about converting home organization over to completely digital formats.
- And finally, I {heart} pinterest. I love that I don't have to bookmark things anymore, I just keep everything on my boards now. :)
