Let's Brainstorm!

Yesterday, Artie took the day off and we loaded the kids up and headed on a quick trip down to Indy. Back in August, we bought Avery tickets for her very first concert as a birthday present. Yesterday was the big day and we finally got to see Imagination Movers, LIVE and in person!! Very exciting for a two-year-old, and I have to say the adults were enjoying themselves too! If you don't know who the Imagination Movers are, you either don't have small kids or you don't watch morning TV on the Disney Channel. You should check them out, they're pretty cool! I must say that I watch them on TV everyday and it was pretty cool seeing them in person-they are actual people, not characters. It was kind of hard to hold back from singing along (okay, a little embarrassing that I knew ALL the words to EVERY song!).

We were lucky enough to have our in-laws (who live in Indy) to offer to look after Spencer while we got to spend time with just Avery. Thank you Chad, Jamie and Garrett (and Sandy)-it was really nice to spend the time alone with Avery!

Mommy and Avery very enthralled in the pre-show festivities!

Daddy's excited, Avery's glued to the giant TV they have playing Disney shows above the stage:)

We had really good seats-luckily on the aisle-so Avery could check out all of the action.

What public outing would be complete without a tantrum from the princess??!! In her defense, the show was at 3pm, mid-nap time!

Very excited to play with the confetti that shot out at the end of the show.

She loved clapping and jumping in her chair.

Mover Rich playing some guitar right in front of us. I especially loved that they gave a shout out to their wives for the tough job they do back home taking care of all of their kids so they can tour! This guy has 5 kids!

The premise of their show is they always have to brainstorm to solve a problem...the problem on this tour is that Mover Smitty loses his voice!

Mover Scott singing to the crowd!

The confetti at the end of the show:)

The Movers...Smitty broke out his Halloween costume that he wears in their Halloween episode.


A few other pics from the week...
Avery and mommy decorated some pumpkins...I didn't feel like carving this year so we decorated with potato head themes!

One is a ninja and the other is a diva:)

Here's my little man sitting up (barely) at the table trying a teething biscuit for the first time:)

Just a quick video of the Movers coming out on stage!

Happy Halloween!!

How fun! Looks like you guys had a great time. Avery's hair is getting so long. It's beautiful.

Spencer is getting so big. I can't believe he is sitting up in a high chair nibbling on biscuits already.
