    My Daughter Has Come of Age

    so we are going to see The Wiggles next month for her birthday. Happy Happy Joy Joy. I cannot possibly be more exited.

        They're like the richest entertainers in Australia, you know. Pretty darn amazing if you ask me...

        I think we're going to try to avoid that show. I hope.

        Ever notice that they wear practically the same colors as a Star Trek away team?

          I did notice the Away Team thing - I keep waiting for the red shirt one die.

          Funny thing is at the office we had a guy from Australia in for a few weeks this spring. His name was Anthony and my daughter was very impressed that I knew one of the Wiggles. He says in Australia there is 'yummy mummy' syndrome. All the good looking mothers make sure they get seats up front.

              That was my response, and from the sound of the comments I think we're the lucky ones!

                    They put on a good show no slowing down. My BIL and I took our 3and 4 year old grand daughters at the time to see them last year and we had a good time. These two gray haired 65 grandpas even dance in aisle with the girls. Go let you hair down and have fun, you little girl be thrilled that daddy got goofy. Even Saw Barney when they were younger, thank God they are older. Now it's Hanna Montana and the Jonas Brothers and that will be expensive.

                      My brother and his family came over one weekend when his kids were 4 and 3. I don't have any kids and after watching those videos what seemed like a million times, I'm not sure I ever will

                        The twins liked Barney and after about 4 months of two of the tapes we had I was ready to hurt Barney. Right now Thomas is liking the little Einsteins and he does watch the Wiggles but since the weather is nice he isn't watching too much of those right now. But when the older kids go to school it keeps him entertained.

                        And since the twins are 12, we are going through the Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers things now. I am so tired of walking into the living room and catching our daughter pretending to sing and dance like they are on the tv. Actually its funnyt scare her,

                          We just gave all the Barney, Thomas the Train and the other Videos to the Pastors Grandson along with the trycycle, and other "little kids stuff" and the 4 year old grand daughter call them.

                            Yeah, I guess. We do like kids and we're looking forward to having them...as visitors we can send home when they get tired of behaving themselves.

                              Tom,

                              I already do get goofy - somewhere there might be a picture of me in a princess crown, complete with cape and a wand. I'm sure when we go to the show I will be dancing with her.
