Superchick!

Last night I took our two oldest daughters to a Superchick Concert!!! I went with my friend who has two daugthers the same ages as my girls. It was CraZy FuN! We got there and it was a no chairs, no sit...just jump-around-have-fun concert. Only problem was we were in the back with two little girls that couldn't see a thing. Finally we found a couple seats open on the bleachers and went over and sat down. What we didn't know was that we had just entered the NO Fun Zone. We didn't realize that the bleachers were for the people that didn't want to clap, scream, jump up and down, wave their arms in the air...or even stand up for a song or two for that matter. I mean I understand bleachers are for sitting. Der. I'm just saying--We are good concert-goers, so when the performers say, "we want everyone on their feet for this one with your arms up"...my friend Monica and I do as they say. We also make sure our daughters do as they say. So yes, there we were jumping up and down, yelling, and waving our arms to the music. EVERYONE, I mean, EVERYONE around us was just sitting there. Not even toe tapping. No bobbing of their heads to the music. Yeah...we didn't care! We kept jumping...these two mamas were shaking the entire set of bleachers...but yeah again, we didn't care. (Ok, I kind of cared, because I didn't want them to not enjoy their concert experience...no matter how different of a concert attender they were.)

Finally after a few songs in...the little girls asked(yelled at the tops of their lungs) if we could go down to the floor. We explained that they wouldn't be able to see, but they didn't care. They wanted to express themselves with a little less restriction. We asked our jr. high daughters if they wanted to go there too. They did! We were laughing at how our jr. high girls were being so reserved at the beginning. We would lift their arms for them and stand behind them making them jump with us. They were having fun though. (If it would have been making her mad...I would have stopped--just to make that clear) It didn't take them long to warm up and they started jammin' just like everyone else. We got down to the floor where there were no chairs...just standing. It was roasting hot, but everyone was loving it! We got right in and enjoyed every minute we were there.

The girls got a CD and being the good homeschool moms that we are...we let them stand in line to get them signed. And of course we had to stop and get some ice cream and snacks on the way home...we didn't get home until after midnight. We had some incredibly giddy girls. I love that we got to have last night's concert experience together.

The presence of the Lord was powerful! And praising Him together was amazing! We already have plans to go again the next time they come. The girls slept in and we started school late...but we've had a great day so far.

P.S.--They can't listen to their CD until their work is done...there I go being all mean again! ;)
