Schuler's Coffee for a show!

Friday night a couple of friends from capo were playing a show at Schuler's books in Grand Rapids. It was quite a drive for them because they live on the east side of the state... so I thought that it would be fun to go and support them.  They are two acoustic guitarists who play theme songs from video games. It's a little silly, and nerdy for sure, but it was really good.  And I really enjoyed it!  It probably felt the most nerdy because I recognized most of the songs and knew exactly what part of the game each song they were playing was from.  hahaha.  Their group is called Super Guitar Bros... check em out!  I know they have a few videos on Youtube... very fun.  :)

I was fortunate enough to be able to sit and watch the show and Gaetan took the kids to their kid room and let them play.  Bless my dear husband's heart for knowing and understanding the importance of a few moments of peace.  :)  It seems like the kids had a lot of fun in there too!  Some good friends of ours Quebra and Dizzy where there to watch the show along with Gracie and Levi.  It was funny because Q and D (as we call them for short around these parts) tried to sneak up on Tristan and scare him but he wasn't fooled!  Ninja.  :)  But he was so excited to see them that he didn't stop talking about it later that night.

That boy LOVES trains

Dude set Hippo up with a Dinosaur Train to keep him busy.  There are his dinosaurs that he wanted behind Hippo.

Pretty Miss playing in their lumber house (as dude called it).

It was a cute show and I'm glad that we got a chance to go.  We ended up getting Dude a Dinosaur Train book (for Christmas, even though he knows that we have it) and a dinosaur toy.  I was a bit against it because it was the dinosaur from Jurassic Park that seems all playful and friendly until it fans it neck out and shoots acid in your eyes and eats you!  But, I figured since we have a velociraptor and T Rex, this would be ok too... :)

I have to mention this little boy that was there who totally impressed me, which is saying a lot because the youth these days (yes, I know that makes me sound old).  A lot of them are extremely disrespectful and makes me want to home school more and more, but this boy was extraordinary.  Gaetan said that he and Dude read together for quite sometime, even though he was older than Dude, he was very kind and understanding.  They played together well, and then when we were getting ready to pay for Dude's stuff the boy walked up and said that he found $20.  And that his Mom says that when you find money you should buy things for other people because it's the nice thing to do.  And the fact that he actually did it was another thing! He wanted to buy Dude's dinosaur, which was only a few bucks, but still.  Can you imagine a 6 or 7 year old understanding that giving is more rewarding than just taking?  Impressive.  It gives this Momma hope.  :)
