Katy Perry

The LM loves Katy Perry.

There was a competition where she was going to come to the winning school to visit.

LM's school entered twice and was in the top twenty but hey they didn't win...

I thought of getting tickets for one of her concerts but couldn't get tickets...

Then one morning I was watching Sunrise on TV and they said two more concerts had been released well I got on the computer straight away all I could get were standing on the centre floor.

No good for LM as he is only 7 so I rang Ticketek direct...

Yeah !!!!! I got two tickets very good seats  uh oh who was going to take him...

Urr  not me i don't like her music ,Kerry had a work Christmas party to go to....Mel couldn't as it was her engagement party the next day and she had heaps to do...I rang Kev in a bit of a tizz and he said he'd take him...

What ! I knew Kev doesn't like that music either but gee what a man and special dad he is that he would do that I knew I loved him for a reason..

So off they went....

 

My two beautiful boys....

 

Dad this is pretty loud hey !

 

Whats a concert without a hot dog.....

SO They got home around midnight....LM was so tired he gave me a kiss and went to bed almost fell asleep straight away.

Kev said while he still doesn't like her music she puts on a good show....He said the LM loved the show and sung along but he said he thought he was a bit overwhelmed oh well it was his first concert...first of many....

What are you reading now...

I bought this book for Kevin as part of his Christmas gift....

Who am I kidding I bought it for me as well ha ha...

We both grow up with Countdown LOVED IT..

We both know that Molly is an Australian icon LOVE HIM..

We both went to the two Countdown concerts in recent years and yes LOVED IT...

 I have started reading this and Kev can read it after me ha ha

So do your self a favour (like how many times have we heard Molly say that) and get yourself a copy a cold drink preferably acholic and ENJOY....

Oh No !
