Spring Sing
It’s almost the end of the school year, so of course the events, ceremonies, parties, and concerts are piling up on the family schedule. If you looked at my kitchen calendar, it’s color-coded listings resemble something like this for the next month or so: But this past Tuesday night was a big one- the elementary school’s annual spring concert!! I know what you’re thinking…. “Snooze-Fest!” And I get it, believe me.
