Just a quick post ~ to BRAG about my very talented son :) His guitar teacher puts together a "student rock concert" every year ~ the kids pick a song to play on stage with a backing track. This is Matthew's second concert & he ROCKED it. So. Much. Fun. *disclaimer - this is not everyone's taste in music. I personally love it. If this is the case, please focus on his playing, rather than the actual song. The woman who was standing next to me while I was taping it was totally into it. I thought she was going to hurt herself with all the head banging she was doing LOL
He's only been playing a year and a half. I'm so proud of him :)
Gahhhh these are the only posts I seem to get to these days! Sorry - but I do like recapping my week. Especially GOOD weeks :) 1: DST this weekend! Woohooooo ready to spring forward!! I've been ready since we went OFF DST lol. It's supposed to be 46 degrees on Monday!! That's right - it will be shorts weather here in Wisconsin & I can't wait! Pretty soon I'll be back to taking photos of my flowers:
2: I'm going to the high school tonight to see the musical "Lil Abner". I don't know much about it but I do love musicals, & I love seeing kids I know performing. And the best part? My musical-hating son is going with me! I'm pretty sure he just feels sorry for me, but it wouldn't be the first pity date I've ever had. 3: Tomorrow night my son is performing at a bar with his guitar-mates. Every year his guitar teacher puts together a student rock concert, where the kids pick out a song to learn, he provides the backing track (minus guitar), & they get up on stage & perform. Super fun. His teacher is also in a band, which happens to be playing after the concert, & he cleared it with management to allow the kids to stay until 10 to hear them. It will be a blast! In case you're interested in last year's performance - he performed a Slash song - ignore the clicks, I was taking stills during recording & didn't realize it would be so loud LOL. I'm such an amateur! The Godfather Theme 4: I won a blog giveaway! Dawn at Because I Said So (you should really read her blog, she's a hoot!) was giving away some new products from Suave & I won! I never win! And ... my goodies arrived today already! Can't wait to try them. I'm sure I'll enjoy them extra much JUST because I won them :) 5: The only downside to the week - my younger one is sick :( Actually my hubby & older son have been sick all week too, but neither missed any school/ work. Michael did - he spent the day at grandma's yesterday, & he made it just past lunchtime today. So ... he's in his pj's & curled up with his apple juice & Elwood, watching Disney. It could be worse :)
