Our first concert

The Little Lawrences attended their first concert today - The Wiggles!! It was their birthday party tour. Believe it or not, they've been around for 20 years, which means that there must be mums and dads who grew up with the Wiggles, now watching Wiggles with their own kids. 

A couple of the Wiggles were showing their age (beer bellies and more salt than pepper up top). But they rocked the party and we all had a blast. 

A special shout out has to go to the outrageous priced helium balloons which were TWENTY DOLLARS!!! Unfortunately I had promised one to Jasmine before I found out how much they cost, so I couldn't re neg on the deal, especially since she was just about to wet her pants with excitement at the prospect of bringing one home. The bloody thing is a Dorothy the Dinosaur balloon and is about the size of a 3-year-old which we had to put in the boot (trunk) to bring home because we couldn't see out the windows driving home with it in the car. I felt like we were bringing home a dead (but strangely buoyant) body.

Also a a shout out to Wiggle Murray who impressively (given his gut) climbed up on a human pyramid with his electric guitar during a particularly spectacular number, and then broke out into, no, not Hot Potato, or Wiggly Party, not even Rockabye Your Bear, but, wait for it, Stairway to Heaven!

Here are some photos from our morning.

This was taken shortly after Beau stopped
crying at the start of the show.
I think he was frightened by all
the noise and lights, but by the grand finale
was dancing on the chairs... literally!

Finally, Jasmine is wearing something on her
head that's not a pink crown.
But is still a crown. D'oh!

Dorothy the Dinosaur in tutu. Who said big
girls shouldn't wear short skirts?

All tuckered out on the drive home.
