Outing with the MKs and enjoying the music

Last night, Bug and I attended a concert with friends. We saw the local Pops Orchestra before they left for the Olympics. It was spur of the moment thanks to a call from from the MKs.
So, Bug got to see his first concert at age 2 years and 49 weeks old (WOW!!!). We had lawn seats, which meant packing chairs (slacker momma had to borrow some), a blanket for the grass- which would have worked had it not rained an hour before the concert started, toys (again, slacker momma did not bring the right ones) and food (score, I got this one right).

More bubble blowing from Bug.

Hits from the night:
the music- all Broadway tunes
the food: grapes, watermelon, apple juice and water and fruit snacks
the toys: bubbles, coloring books and
crayons, small ball (we might owe MK2 a ball)
Friends: seeing the MKs, their family and another FTIA family (after the concert)

Bug and I got home at 11 pm last night. I was hoping for a late morning, but he was up at 9 am. We skipped church so we could have a day together: we had breakfast that neither of us liked, we napped on the couch, Bug played wiht his toys while I read the paper, we watched the NASCAR race, we had dinner, we went grocery shopping, we read books, Bug had bath time and he is now sound asleep in his own bed.

It was a good weekend. I think Bug and I might buy tickets to next summer's concert series - we had a great time.

Thanks so much MK1 for thinking of us and inviting us to the concert- we loved the music, but most of all, we loved seeing you both again.

love and hugs to you,
Deb
