The Fabulous Five!

So we took Brooke to her first "show" yesterday. We took her to see Sesame Street Live . The show is called "Super Grover! Ready for Action". Basically Grover loses his 'superness' and with the help of The Fabulous Five (Elmo, Rosita, Telly, Zoe, and Rock Rock) sets out to find his superness and return to being Super Grover. It was actually pretty fun. It was neat to see all the kids participating by yelling things out and cheering for their favorite characters. The music was pretty good too, considering. Brooke seemed to really have a good time. She stood up for the second half and would clap and dance. And like all dumb parents, we ended up buying a bunch of overpriced stuff. A T-shrit (of course), a Zoe purse with jewelry, and a program. Looking back the program was probably a stupid buy.

Afterwards we walked around the outside of the Botanical Gardens. We took a few pictures and Brooke got to see the ducks and geese. We had a pretty great day!

Last night Heather shampoo'd the carpets in the living room. They were pretty dirty.

I was listening to Radio Wazee last night and heard a pretty cool band I hadn't heard of. It's kind of a mix of grunge sounding stuff with sort of straight up rock. They're called Slave To The System. Their myspace page has 3 tunes you can listen to. It has members of Brother Kane (they had a big hit in the early 90's with 'Got No Shame') and Queensryche. I think it's neat to see some 80's hard rock/hair metal type guys do something current that doesn't suck! So it is possible.
