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!
Woot!
Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and feet 17 rows from the stage planted firmly on the Astro Turf. It was SO the right thing to do!
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 🙂
Stephanie says
I couldn’t agree more!
Deborah Pucci says
That is so cool and I think spontaneous can be so awesome!
Stacy Uncorked says
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! 🙂

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.
Stephanie says
Love it! I really do think there are so many teachable moments outside of school, sometimes you just have to grab them 😉
Thanks for stopping by and linking up today!

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

Stephanie says
