That is my big ol’ Snoopy Happy Dance! 

‘Cause guess what? 

I GOT FACETIME!!! 

This time I got to shake Donnie Wahlberg’s hand!  That’s right – I met the D-man!  Good ol’ Tony Spinelli in the flesh!

How?

We arrived in London early for the New Kids On The Block (NKOTB) concert ’cause we wanted to catch a bite before the show.  As we were heading down the street we spot a ton of girls hanging over barricades and screaming!  “They’re here!  Get outta the car!” Tracy shouted.  Tracy stopped the traffic and I ran across the road to the barricades.  Not one for crowds I take up a spot at the end, right on the barricade. Just as I get myself in postion DW comes off his tour bus and comes straight to me – “Hey Donnie, how’s it going?  It’s momontherun*” I shouted over the screaming girls while I shook his hand.

I SHOOK DONNIE’s HAND!

Then he proceeded to greet all of the other screaming fans too – my moment was brief, but alas:

I SHOOK DONNIE’s HAND!

Here’s a few pics I took of him outside of the John Labatt Centre:

(Nice butt!)

The night was  a blur of excitement after that – I felt like I was totally 14 again!  We hung out after the show and caught a glimpse of Jordan and Danny leaving the JLC, but then we left ’cause we were freaking cold! 

With two concerts down and 2 new Kids met, I think it’ll take me 3 more concerts to meet the rest of them.  I’m totally ok with this, ’cause guess what?  They just announced their FULL SERVICE Tour and I’ll be there at the Molson Ampitheatre in Toronto on June 21st!

*momontherun is my handle on the NKOTB community site too.

As Joe said:

These crowds are sick.
These shows are sick.
This tour is sick.
Viva The Block!

I’m off to the NKOTB concert tonight at the John Labatt Centre in London ON – I certainly hope I get some more FACETIME – wish me luck!

PS – NKOTB, We’re in Secn 107 Row P seats 20, 21 and 22 – My mind is right… Let’s get this!

That’s what I overheard this morning as I was upstairs getting dressed for work.

Lovely, I thought.  My next thought was, how did she get poop on her foot?

I rushed downstairs to find Brooke running around with no diaper, poop stuck to her ass and the poop was pretty much everywhere else too.  Lovely.

Sierra had tried to help out mommy by changing Brooke’s diaper, only Brooke being the almost two year old was not so cooperative with Sierra’s idea, and thus we ended up late for daycare, and work.

Who can get mad at that?

As you may know, I’m very active in the Mom It Forward #gno Tuesday Night Twitter Parties (I’ve posted about it here before). Every Tuesday Night a large group of twitterers (Twits?) meet on twitter and discuss a predetermined topic while hashing our tweets with the hashtag #gno. These twitter parties are the brain child of the very talented Jyl and Carissa from Mom It Forward and are VERY fun! We’ve discussed things like promoting your blog, pitching PR reps, green living, random acts of kindness etc. I thoroughly enjoy the twitter parties even though they are rather hard to keep up with (I recommend Tweet Grid, Twitter Search or if you’re into downloading applications to your computer then Tweet Deck). The parties are great for meeting new friends, learning things and growing your blog community.

This week, Mom It Forward is teaming up with 5 Minutes for Mom for their annual Ultimate Blog Party! Tonight we’ll be discussing everything related to blogging and will also be discovering new blogs. Please consider joining us if you’re free tonight after the kiddos head to bed!

If you’re here from the Mom It Forward #gno twitter party, then welcome! I’m Janice aka @momontherun, the author of and founder of The Big List of Giveaways.

My Mom On The Run blog is about me, Janice, a wife, mother, employee, runner, softball player, internet addict and a completely obsessed New Kids On The Block fan.  I write about anything that pops into my head – one day it’ll be about my kids, pooping, farting and potty training, to providing great advice about growing your blog.

I’ve also just recently launched The Big List of Giveaways  – The ultimate listing service for bloggy contests and giveaways. I promote blog contests from all over the blogosphere. My listings are free to bloggers and are a great way to find all the best contests!

We had an awesome weekend – the weather was amazing and the kids played so well together!  Instead of writing a boring ol’ post about it, I thought I’d share all of the pictures I took form the weekend.  They pretty much sum up everything we did:

Sierra and Brooke played well together, and Sierra even read Brooke some books:

My parents came over and took the kids for a walk (this picture is from last weekend ’cause I forgot to take a picture):

Brooke fed herself chocolate pudding for dessert:

My mom helped put the kids to bed because hubby had to go into work Saturday night:

Sunday morning I got to sleep in and Sierra even made me breakfast in bed!

Sunday afternoon hubby got to nap while I took the kids on a nature hike:

All in all we had a fantastic weekend - how was yours?
