chandler and i had a great time last night. we were lucky enough to get some free tickets to this amazing reunion concert.
post edit: my children have a way of knowing when i sit down at the computer and need something that most at that very minute. here's the rest of the story.
Amy Loop came over to babysit. Cash was a little disappointed that Thomas didn't come with her. So C and I left thinking that we'd have time to grab dinner before the concert. well the MGM and the Strip in general was a mad house on Saturday night - something you don't realize if you spend most of your time avoiding the Strip - so it took us almost 45 minutes to get through the traffic light, into the parking garage and into the Casino to even think about dinner. when we finally got in everywhere had an hour long wait so we ended up getting take out from one of the mexican places that has a "to go" window out onto the Casino so our big night out consisted of eating taquitos while sitting on the floor in the corner of the convention center. we sure know how to do it right! so then we went into the concert and had awesome seats. right up front, about 7 rows back. great seats. James Taylor and Carole King are amazing. their voices are still as great as they've always been, however Carole King has gotten old looking. and Chandler and I giggled that James Taylor was dressed like he just got home from work. They played all the great songs: carolina in my mind, you've got a friend, fire and rain, sweet baby james, so far away, i feel the earth move, natural woman, and some others i have never heard. I'm not sure Chandler enjoyed the actual concert so much as this type of music isn't his thing but he was a trooper and we had a fun time people watching and laughing at all the middle-aged women re-living their 70's.
we got home and found out the boys had a hard time getting to bed. Cash was actually still awake and Cooper hadn't been asleep for all that long. finally everyone settled down and all was quiet again at the Martin household.
of course i forgot the camera so i only got shots on my phone which are terrible. geesh, we aren't very good at getting out of the house...
