The girls watched a bit of the Olympics’ Opening Ceremonies tonight. Bree wasn’t too into it UNTIL she heard the Olympic Anthem come on. Then, she was very excited and said, “Hey, I know that song!” And then Adrianna piped up, “Yeah, that song is called the ‘Bugler’s Dream.’” Well, I guess they were paying […]

Stranger Things
If you need a new show to watch, Stranger Things on Netflix Streaming is excellent. Scary, intense, awesome. I enjoyed the characters, the story, and the great 80s nostalgia. Greg and I had a hard time limiting ourselves to just 1 or 2 episodes per night so that we could get to bed at a […]
Flight of the Conchords
Date night to see Flight of the Conchords at Red Rocks. It’s Business Time! They were AMAZING, as always. This was our third time seeing them; the second time we’ve seen them at Red Rocks. We laughed so much! We enjoyed their new material and they played many of our favorites, too. (Business Time, Foux […]
Parent Trap
So Adrianna and I watched the new(er) Parent Trap tonight. (The one with Lindsay Lohan.) And I realized something – the almost-stepmother in it has a step-mother whose name is Vicky, which I thought I recognized from the original Parent Trap with Hayley Mills. So, of course I had to look it up, and sure […]
Impromptu Music Lessons
After watching a parody of Bohemian Rhapsody with my girls tonight, I had to show them the original Bohemian Rhapsody video (one of my fave songs!) which led to us viewing several other great Queen songs, which led to Freddie Mercury and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure” which led to Vanilla Ice’s “Ice, Ice Baby” which […]
Mad Caddies
Mad Caddies. Still one of my favorite bands to see perform live. Amazing show tonight. At The Summit in Denver.
Avatar, the Last Airbender
We’ve been watching the Avatar: The Last Airbender series with Adrianna. It’s been a fun evening activity after the little girls go to bed.
Fiddler on the Roof
Saw Fiddler on the Roof at the Boulder Dinner Theater with some lovely friends, Amy and Julie, tonight. It was amazing. Now I can’t get the songs out of my head. Tradition…Tradition!
Nickel Creek
Greg and I had the pleasure of watching Nickel Creek in concert this evening. What an AMAZING show put on by some extremely talented musicians. Chris Thile was a great showman as he played his mandolin (as always), Sean Watkins was solid on the guitar and Sara Watkins really makes that fiddle sing. And she […]
Mad Caddies
Good ska music always makes me happy. Seeing it live: pure awesomeness! We got to see the Mad Caddies, with openers The A-Oks and Mrs. Skanotto.
