Bruuuuuuuuuuuce

Last night the boys and I saw Bruce & The E Street Band in concert. They played at The Palace at Auburn Hills. It is north of Detroit and where the Pistons play. The facility was a pleasure to get to and just as easy to get out of with hotels and restaurants just down the road.
The show was amazing, as always.
Bruce introduced the band early in the show. Clarence's son was on saxophone, so wonderful. At the end of the show there was a tribute to Clarence, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Being able to pass on the Bruce concert experience to CJ also added to the night. Watching CJ enjoy the show as much as we did was heartwarming. CJ is a 3rd generation Bruce fan.

Brilliant Blast

CJ enjoys creating Lego reproduction of guns from his favorite shows and video games. Some of these creations take days to complete. His latest was no exception. Upon finishing it he took pictures, just in case it was 'destroyed in battle' or got dropped. He called those pictures
'A Brilliant Blast of Foresite'.
Good thing he had that brilliant blast.
Here it is in many pieces.



And here it is put back together.

Bunny Ears

Each year as Easter approaches I feel the need to eat chocolate bunny ears. This year was no exception. Into CJ's lunch went a foil covered bunny minus the ears. That day I ate the ears. The next day CJ's lunch once again contained an earless chocolate bunny but this time I wrapped the ears in plastic wrap and saved them for after school. The look on CJ's face when I presented them to him was priceless. The following day I discovered a bunny with missing ears in our family Easter basket, only I didn't do it. CJ ate the ears and smirked about it, I love that kid!!!


Easter morning CJ discovered a new bunny and to his delight it had ears.
 
 


As he was eating the bunny ears, CJ said "Victory tastes like dark chocolate".
 

(Sally Forth didn't eat her daughter's bunny ears this year either, hmmmm...)
