Seth at the Peep Show

So, the other day Seth told me, "Mommy, I'm going to watch a peep show." I was like, um, one more time? Turns out a peep show is a video with baby chickens, which are officially called Peeps. Who knew?

Set It Off: Breathe In, Breathe Out [Official Music Video]

Hey, check these guys out, we saw them in June with Breathe Electric and again at Warped, they put on a killer show. And yes, we are very nearly old enough to be their parents.

First Day of Kindergarten

Hello all, here are some pics of Seth's First day of Kindergarten:

Quiet Baby!

We went to dinner the other night, and there was a baby crying intermittently at the table 4 away from us. Seth was working diligently on colouring his place mat and told us, "That baby is too loud, I can't concentrate". I told him, "Maybe you should go over and ask the baby to quiet down", at which point he stood up in the booth, leaned across the table and yelled, "Quiet Baby!" On the plus side, the baby did stopped crying. Not embarrassing at all.

Breathe Carolina @ THE SOCIAL - ORLANDO FL

We had an awesome time at the Scream It Like You Mean It tour last night (no lie, what it's called). The BC boys put on a kick ass show, and the crowd as awesome, now THAT is how you act at a punk show, dammit! Here is the encore performance of "Diamonds", the sound is a bit rough.

Warped Tour Survivors

We had oodles of fun at Warped, it was super hot and there was no shade, but we did survive with plenty of beer, water, and shaved ice, and none of us are extra crispy from the sun. The youth was quite cordial, no one called us old, and The Ready Set merch kid gave me mad props for "being there for the music, not the signings" when I told him I didn't need the pass to jump the line for the signing when I bought my shirt, it was hilarious. Here are a few pics (click on them to big them up), and there are a few videos in previous posts:
