How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Sometimes You Have To Be Spontaneous

in Family, Uncategorized on 06/19/13

Every  once in a while life presents you with an opportunity you simply can’t say no to.  Then again, sometimes it doesn’t , and you have to make your own opportunities!! 

Romantic Hubby and I knew Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift were playing less then three hours from our house this past weekend.  We did not have tickets for this show.  So what did we do?  We scoured the Internet at 11PM on a Thursday night and found amazing seats for this fabulous concert.  We bought those tickets!!

Was it crazy to buy tickets on a Thursday, pull our kids our of school on a Friday, not even tell the kids?  Justdo it,  load them up and go? 

Just call me crazy! 

TaylorSwift Concert

 

Woot!

I hope you will join me in my not so Wordless Wednesday!

      You are such a good mama. I need to be more spontaneous. My spontaneous is going to McDonalds. (cough, cough)

      Spontaneity is one of the keys to a full life 🙂

      That is so cool and I think spontaneous can be so awesome!

      Definitely not crazy! Or maybe crazy like a fox! 😉 How cool you scored awesome seats, and I bet your kids were thrilled to be out of school for such a fun time! 🙂 Love all the shots! 🙂

        I love that we had this chance!! I hope one day they will look back with a big smile and a giggle at their Mama dancing along to Taylor Swift 🙂

        To be honest Loukia, I’m still scared 🙂 LOL Trying to figure out my new layout, how to post and where all my readers are! So far though I’m loving it. I know I made the right choice and highly reccomend Krizzy Designs!

      We did that with Lion King on Broadway. Although we still had them go to school the next day. 🙁 Sometimes you have to take risks. Somethings are really great learning experiences. Who gets to go to a show with lights and fun that often?

      BTW We sent a note to my older son’s school the next day saying he might be tired. If he has too many problems call us, and we’ll pick him up. The younger one was in preschool, so that was a little different.

        Love it! I really do think there are so many teachable moments outside of school, sometimes you just have to grab them 😉

        It was so much fun it made me think we should be breaking the kids out of school a little more often 🙂

      Not crazy at all! I totally would have done the same. I took my daughter to see Taylor Swift the year before last. Such an amazing performance! I’m sure the kids LOVED the surprise!! 🙂

      • Stephanie says

        Taylor Swift put on such a great concert! Fun and age appropriate! We all enjoyed ourselves. It was def the right choice 🙂
