The birds and the bees...and the bugs??

As I've mentioned before, during the summer, I work as a nanny for a family in my hometown. I've been with this family for over five years now, so really, their house is like my second home. ANYWAY, they have two girls...Natalie is 10 and Claire is 6...and gosh do they make me laugh...

Claire's latest thing is bugs...last week we were driving home from tee ball and out of the blue she goes, "ya know who I feel bad for?? BUGS...because everyone just kills them.." so since then she has been all about bugs. Well yesterday, Natalie and I were cleaning up the kitchen from lunch and Claire came into the house and said, "look I found a momma and a baby bug" and I look and see one bug on top of the other..now of course, being the biology major that I am, I know very well that it is definitely not a mom and baby bug..but I wasn't going to say anything to the precious child. Natalie, however, had no problem saying something. She took one look at the bugs in her sister's hand and said "CLAIRE!! THEY'RE MATING!!"...to which Claire quickly dumped the bugs onto the kitchen floor, looks at me with a panicked look on her face, and says,"What does that mean!?" and before I could answer, Natalie proudly declares, "ya know, they were doing IT"

...oooh kids say/do the darndest things....

But I always know who I'm with, I'm with the band...

I'm just gonna come right out and say...I absolutely LOVE Little Big Town. So much so that I'm contemplating dropping out of college and becoming a groupie! Or maybe I can work for them...I mean what are the qualifications for being the person that hands them their instruments? Maybe they'd let me play the tambourine??

I got to see Little Big Town in concert for the second time and it was AMAZING. We had third row seats (hence the semi-decent picture). They played for about an hour and a half...and I loved every minute of it! I really like seeing my favorite artists in concert because you get to see how passionate they are about the music they sing/create...lots of people could go into a recording studio and make a great CD..but you can tell who are true artists by how they perform on stage. Little Big Town has been around for awhile, although they are just starting to reach the popularity level they deserve. Every member of the group is extremely talented, and I love how they all take turns singing lead vocals. SO, if you haven't listened to/heard of Little Big Town yet, give them a listen...it'll be worth it!

I know for sure that I'll be going to their next concert..wherever in Minnesota it may be...

...oh, and this time...I'm getting front row seats!
