Weird Al Concert

I just realized I never posted about this after the the concert. Aidan LOVED it. I wish I had taken the camera with because lots of people had theirs and I would have loved to have captured his expression throughout the show. His little face was just LIT up! I mean he just hd the BIGGEST grin on his face! Once again there were no bad seats. Aidan was really cute at one point in the show. Al was singing his parody of "smells like teen spirit" (that song by Nirvana, at least I think that's the name of the song, lol) anyway he's singing and he's got on the blond wig like the lead singer from that group had his hair (Curt Cobain? sp? can you tell I suck with names?) and Aidan says to me "I don't think that guy down there is weird Al ". LOL. I tried to explain to him that AL was just wearing a costume, with a wig, but he was convinced that that wasn't Al during that song. He recognized him for every other song though, including the one where he's got on the fat suit for his paradoy of "Bad" by M. Jackson. It was awesome. I hope Al tours again because I think he'd love to go again.

Lots going on

So much going on around here (or at least it seems that way to my frazzled self!)
My last real post I was sick with a sinus infection, for the most part it is gone, but I've got a sneaking suspicion that it trying to come back.
With the coming fall weather my little guy's nose bleeds are a little more frequent again.
Our van died. it is no more. it's not resting. it's not pining for the fjords! this van is deceased! (that's a little Monty Python humor for my darling hubby) The repairs that it was going to need this time were just to much for us. So I had it towed away this morning. That leaves us with one vehicle. We've put a lot of thought it to and I've given my two weeks notice at work (although they've offered to let me be a casual employee- which I have to give some more thought to and talk it over with Ian). Between the cost of fuel, the amount I end up spending there (because lets face it I'm WEAK and I just love scrappy stuff) and the amount I actually bring home, we're going to be better off with me not working. Plus we'll be saving money on our insurance since we've gotten rid of the van.
This will leave more time for straightening things out here at home, making this house into an actual HOME -since we don't know when we'll be able to move. It's time to make the most of what we have.
I'm looking forward to being able to get to know my little boy better and hopefully work on some of his aggressive-ness. I want to start home schooling him now, haven't had time before (not that this means he's behind, because he would have missed the cut off for kindergarten this year anyway).
I'm hoping I'll be able to cook more, and bake more, and scrap more. I need to learn a bit more about what's going to make us all happier. I have a feeling a happier momma will make a happier daddy and Aidan too.
As much as I've loved this job, it's been super stressful too. Which I honestly didn't expect. I've been working more days then I wanted to though and haven't had the time that I thought going to part time was going to get me. SO big changes are on the horizon.
We're taking the little man to his first concert tonight. Weird Al is coming through again and we managed to get tickets. He's been bouncing about for days he's so excited! Sadly though this venue doesn't allow cameras. So I'll take a picture of the boys in their Weird Al shirts and do a page with that and the tickets.
More to come soon!

Footage from last night's concert

Here's just a short video clip from last night's concert. The quality isn't great, but it's of one of my favorite parts of their shows. It's the Yoda chant (I don't think it has it's own name as it's just something that they tack on to the end of the the song Yoda) Hopefully you all can see it.

White and Nerdy

We went to see Weird Al last night at the Star Plaza Theater. It was awsome, this is the second time we've seen him there. He always puts on such a fun show. And the theater is awesome, there are no bad seats, you know what I mean? No poles anywhere to block your view, you can sit through the show , yes I said sit, and see the whole thing. It's awesome.


Here's a few pictures:

pictures from the BNL concert

Keep in mind that a couple of these were of the jumbo screens at the side of the stage. We had good seats but my camera doesn't have the best zoom. All in all it was an awesome time though. and it was really great to have some one on one time with my hubby, even if it was in a crowd of people, lol.

BNL

Barenaked Ladies!!!! We just got back from their concert at the Charter One Pavillion on Northerly Island, in Chicago, and they totally rocked!!! it was awesome!!! I've got tons of pictures and some video footage from my little point and shoot. This is the second time I've seen them (first time for my hubby) and it was just fantastic! I'll add some pictures tomorrow, but for now I'm off to bed!
