What do you do with a week with a holiday in the middle? And a huge Microsoft outage that affected all of my customers? Here’s how we handled it all.

In the spirit of doing less work on the weekend, I’ve turned off comments on this post so that we can just enjoy the pictures.

We’ve been going down to the Seattle Center every Saturday for the last 10 weeks so that my 11-year-old daughter, Miss O, could participate in a dance program that performs on the stage for the Pacific Northwest Ballet. Here are our Seattle Center pictures.

And Miss O after her incredibly well-done performance.

When my seven-year-old son, Mr. D and I bike to school, we often find dry ice in the alley behind a grocery store on Monday mornings. We’ve been bringing it home in my bike basket and conducting our own science experiments. So fun!

For the Veteran’s Day holiday that landed in the middle of the week, we went to Great Wolf Lodge where we mined for gold, played video games, and…

Enjoyed the water park

The sign of the week — and Miss O giving a thumbs up on going to a water park instead of worrying.
