Jenny... do what I do... pretend to be taking a pic of something else and zoom in on him!

I tried. It came out blurry. There's only so many things I can pretend to take pictures of in a lunchroom.

But his name is Kris, for the record.

Now that is nice!! When I went with Noah's class to the Franklin Institute in Philly a few years ago, I had 4 kids and one was a wanderer. He didn't care where I was, where the rest of his group was or the fact that the place was mobbed...he'd just wander and I'd have to grab the rest of them and follow him or I'd lose him. I never counted to 4 as many times as I did that way. The bus ride home was bliss, I finally knew they were all in one place and no longer my responsibility.

I'm always grateful when I don't have to watch other kids. I don't like having to fuss with someone else's rambunctious darling. I did learn today that my kid is obnoxious around his friends though! They all get together and it's LOL

We had a fun day. It rained off and on, there was even small hail at one point we heard. We spent the morning at the Air & Space Museum (Wyatt's FAVE), then walked back to the American History Museum, which used to be MY favorite. The year or so spent on renovation did not improve it any. I no longer like that one, which is very disappointing since I LOVED it before.

We were initially with 3 other moms and their boys...they decided to head to the Air & Space with us. I don't tour well with others apparently. Wyatt and I like to actually look at and enjoy the exhibits...these kids and moms, not so much. They were rushing us through it all. I finally hit my breaking point in the room where there are things to demonstrate air pressure, water pressure, etc. It was crowded but no big deal to me. Wyatt LOVES that room. Well, we walk in and the one mom that I've known for 4 years now freaked and said "We'll never get them out of here! And it's crowded, let's just go NOW." I turned around and said "No. He likes this room and we're staying." She and the other left, saying they were going to look at the rockets. Less than 5 minutes later they sent the boys back in to tell us they were going to another museum, did we want to go. Wyatt said "No" which made me happy. I was afraid he would say yes just to be with his friends instead of doing what he really wanted to do. So they went on their way and we got to enjoy the rest of our day doing whatever he wanted, when he wanted.

They're 4th row left.. we were at least 15 rows back in Nashville and it was hard to see over all the ladies in heels still a great show though!

I just saw Joe's tweet that gave a hint at what his new solo could possibly be. Tell me he's not going to do Popsicle. I will die.

oK Twitterers... Ashton Kutcher nominated 3 people on Twitter to be up for the Platinum Tweet Award. One of them is @nkotb. You can send your votes to Ashton until next Wednesday. Just send to @aplusk I vote for @nkotb #ptavote. It has to include both @usernames and the #ptavote to count. You can vote as often as you like.

OK, I'm hoping outdoor shows in Houston in July are in the picture for me.
The night before NKOTB play here, Aerosmith is going to be at the same location. What stinks is I hate to buy tickets to either any time soon, thanks to the uncertainty of how I'll feel and how freaking hot it will be out!

I hope it works out, Angey!!! Aerosmith is going to be in Minneapolis on September 8 and I really want to get tix. There is a chance my hubby could be home on R&R, so I am waiting to get tickets until I know the exact dates he will be home.

 

[amyup]

Girls I have a quick question...how do you get 4th row, 5th row tix? Is there somewhere else I should be looking besides ticketmaster?


I'm doing 5* with my friend in July and am thinking what a let down its going to be after the show. Sooo, I'm thinking about driving down to Irvine for the concert the next night and would love to get good seats. Of course, the orchestra section is already sold out and I want to be there!

Oh and I can't believe it but I actually posted on the crazy boards

 

[jenny105]

Check ebay and stubhub. For the record, ticketmaster is awful. You can check to see if livenation.com sells the tickets for your venue because they have a pick and click option where you can actually see what seats are available.

 

[walkerag]

I got mine off of ebay, and was able to negotiate a lower price

Hey girls!! Just checking in. Becca and I went to Gymboree today because I had Gymbucks to spend. Do any of you guys shop there? The clothes are so cute, well made and they have accessories for every single outfit. Check out this purse she got...it is SO cute. It's a pineapple!! (she got the shirt too and a skirt/capris that match. But I just LOVED the purse!!

I'm catching on up Hell's Kitchen that I missed earlier. Anyone else watch Survivor?!?! I was SO happy to see the one guy get the boot tonight!!

 

[amyup]

Cute purse! You are so lucky you get to shop for a little girl! Boys clothes are just not as fun.

Tell me about it! I'm totally a girl mom, yet I have 2 boys.

I have gotten 4th, 11th, and 12th row for NKOTB shows on Ticketmaster. I always waituntil a few days before the show because they release great seats at the end. Also check Ebay, Stub Hub and Ticketmaster Marketplace. For the price of 4* you can get seats that are way better through these outlets. Good luck!

I LOVE Gymboree. Have you noticed that most of the pics of my kids on Facebook are in Gymboree clothes? It is another addiction. Thanks for the Gymbuck reminder, I still have about $100 worth to use. Yay! Gymbo shopping!!!

Their stuff is SO cute. I had $75 in Gymbucks but of course, spent WAY over what I needed to in order to redeem them. But it's all SO cute. Becca wore one of her outfits to school today. You know, she's the only one in her class that seems to wear the stuff from there. I would think everyone would be going there. It's just SO cute! I love that everything you can possibly imagine to coordinate the outfit is right there!

I'm cleaning today. Yesterday I wasn't home to do any of it so I have to make up for it today. I'm off to clean the house until I get Becca and then we have to get her all ready for her dance recital pictures today. I'll have to take one and post it for you girls!

I still get some of DD's clothes there but she won't wear the "baby" looking things, because she's just sooo grown now
She's getting to where she likes the clothes at Justice more now, not any less expensive than Gymboree

 

[N&B'smom]

My DD is just 5 so thankfully she's not into Justice YET, she's still a little small for their stuff anyway. She's tall but thin so she's not ready to move up to the bigger sizes yet and I think Justice starts at size 6.

 

[hmdavid]

Some people think that Gymboree is so expensive, and it can be, but with their sales, coupons and Gymbucks, i can get stuff there for less than what I would pay at Target. AND it is WAY better quality with great re-sale value. I have piles of summer Gymbo and Gap stuff that I need to get on Ebay someday!!!
