Both of these were shot on the iPhone as best I could,&nbsp;but man it was painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these both have limited value now, 20 years from now they will be priceless. This post is really a deposit into that&nbsp;archive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the kids elementary school, each teacher decides if they want to do something special at the end of the year. Andrew&#8217;s teacher had the kids perform in a play, Sydney&#8217;s teacher had them put on a concert for the parents and Max&#8217;s teacher didn&#8217;t do any performances. Most classes don&#8217;t do anything so&nbsp;I guess we were lucky to get two out of three. I&#8217;m making this point so that years from now I&#8217;m not asked &#8220;Where is my video Dad?&nbsp;You always make videos of Sydney and Andrew but not me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blame your
