~We had a great weekend which included seeing Scooby Doo Live (thanks to MichiGal and her contests)! The boys (B included) and I loved it. L was so into it and WB was screaming he was so excited. If you’ve never been to a kids show, you must go to least one. Everyone arrives late, it’s loud and there is lots of people coming and going during the show! It’s fun. During our trip to the bathroom / concession stand, we had to hit up the trinkets and ended up with a $20 stuffed Scooby (which likely has a retail value of $2) and a $10 Mystery Machine flashlight (how could we not?).
~This weekend also included an impromptu trip to the Genius Bar because someone spilled water on her MacBook. As a side note, this never would have happened if I were drinking soda. I would NEVER spill my precious Diet Pepsi! But thankfully we live close to the Apple Store and I made a quick appointment and we all headed over there. L loves the Apple Store so he HAD to come. Happily they were able to fix my computer (for free) and I was in and out in like 10 minutes. I can’t help but wonder what people who don’t have Apple stuff or don’t live near an Apple Store do? Those guys have saved me more times than I can count. They have replaced iPhones, fixed my laptop, everything. For free!
~I’m expecting lots of boxes his week, including Birchbox, Birchbox Home, Love With Food, the Julep Sea Salt Mystery Box, Kiwi Crate and Lip Factory. That’s what I know about anyway. I have some boxes that are new to me coming this month as well, including Bestowed, Julibox, Tyler Florence Fancy Box, MyIrelandBox and Bugsy’s Box to name a few! What boxes are you expecting this week?
~I must be super old, because I didn’t even know the MTV Movie Awards were last night! Seriously I used to mark that stuff on my calendar! And not only did I not know about them, when I looked at pictures, I didn’t even know who half the people were. Snooki looked great though!
~How was your weekend? What’d you do? And what are you looking forward to this week? As you know, this is a huge week over here since B is turning 30 and WB is turning 1!! Eeek!!!
Wow, that is a big week of birthdays! Did you figure out what to do for B? Men are SO hard to buy for because they are so ambivalent about their birthdays!
And can I just say…since I stalk your blog daily and I ALWAYS need to comment. I love how into your kids you are. And how sometimes they make messes, or want a $20 stuffed animal, and you just roll with it. Because you are all about the experiences and all the other BS is just trivial. I hope I can be as cool and in the moment as you are when I have kids. Just wanted to say that I really admire it.
Happy Happy Birthday to the men in your house! We just celebrated our first year of successful parenting with a big monkey party!
I signed up for Birchbox and Birchbox Home Box last week, the deadline on the site for this month was yesterday so hopefully I will get mine this week! My husband is going to kill me ( and then maybe you!) but I also got the My Ireland Box which I’m looking forward to but a little skeptical about. I am Irish by blood (but born and raised in England) and I sooooo miss our little trips to Dublin since it’s not really a hop, skip, and a jump from Michigan like it is Manchester. So hopefully this box will make me smile and not cry!! And I’m thinking it might turn out to be a good Mother’s Day gift for my mum.
I used to love MTV awards shows! But now I can’t remember the last time I saw one. You’re right, Snooki looks better than she did before having a baby.
They Call Me Gypsy Queen
I hope Scooby comes here, we did Phinneaus and Ferb Live! last fall and it was a blast. My boys love Scooby even more so that would be really exciting to go see but you are right, do they ever get you with the trinkets. We spent like $20 on a stupid Ferb hat that the dog promptly ate – lol.
Ooh, Happy Birthday to B and WB, you’ve got an exciting week thats for sure!
Scooby Doo Live sounded so much fun! I can’t wait to take my kids to something like that. My mom used to take me to Disney on Ice every year until I got to be too old, that was always a blast.
I’m holding out on ordering the Sea Salt Julep Mystery Box until I see a few, but I’m guessing I will cave in the next couple of hours, lol!
I knew the MTV movie awards were last night, but I wasn’t really into it this year… I watched my Sunday usual Snapped on Oxygen. Though yesterday I took my mom to Canvas & Coctails and that was so much fun!
When I heard the MTV Awards were last night I thought the same thing. LOL Also, looks like you guys had a blast of a bday weekend!
Woo hoo! Big week and I know you’ll have a blast. 🙂
I just can’t get into Macs, but I do enjoy getting my iPhone replaced for free every few months. I think I’ve done it 8 times in the past 2.5 years. Yikes! I don’t know why they malfunction on me so much. Thank goodness a store opened in my town or I’d be wasting a lot of gas too.
My first Graze box is on the way!! I went to check on the status and was actually able to see what’s in it and I can’t wait to try it. Nooom.
Don’t feel bad! I didn’t know about the MTV awards until I heard it on the news this morning…. I’m also glad to see I’m not the only one that stalks your blog! Lol…. (PS: I got my Birchbox last week, me no likey).
I want to take Mackenzie to Sesame Street one day.
Also, I have my dad….otherwise we’d have to own apple also. We have the iphones and ipods, now we need the computer. 🙂
We haven’t seen the Scooby Doo show, but we always see Disney on Ice every year. I have 3 girls and they love it. We always end up buying the trinkets too. The girls get so excited, I don’t mind. I’d like to take them to see Yo Gabba Gabba live, but the tickets are pretty pricey.
Is it just me, or did the Movie awards seem early this year? I remember when I was younger and actually watched them, they were usually in June or something … Guess I really am getting old! I don’t know half the bands/musicians on that channel anymore!
