M-80s

Our last concert in the park at John Dam Plaza was watching the M-80's, a fun 80's tribute band.  Mason and Brady came with us. 

Just a little detour story here: One of the books we read with Isabella at bedtime is the Dr. Seuss Foot Book.  One of the lines she reads to us is: "Up Feet, Down Feet, Here Come Clown Feet". Since she could only memorize this book by having us read it to her a gazillion few times, she has memorized the lines in our version (we take the liberty to make up lines/words, take out words/complete paragraphs when it works better for the story).  Here's our version: "Up Feet, Down Feet, Here Come CREEPY Clown Feet."

Ok, and we're back to the point of my story now: When we got to the park, the kids immediately found a creepy clown man charging $1 for balloon animals.  The 3 older kids were quick to get in line.  And then I realized we had jinxed Isabella by adding in the word 'creepy' to the Foot Book.  She was NOT having a balloon animal from this man...she immediately recognized his creepy clown feet (but not that I blame her).

And now, I realize how careful I need to be with the words I choose to use around the girls!  

We had hot dogs and listened to some great 80's cover music.  Fun evening was had by all.
