Looks like good times were had by all on the mini vacation. I'm sure that getting to dance on Yo Gabba Gabba was a dream come true for Mags.

The boy I nanny for went through a "scared" phase like that. He would say he was scared of all the toys in his room at night, so his parents would "lock" them in the closet so they couldn't scare him any more.

Just hope she does not tell her kindergarten teacher she hates her. My daughter was so distraught about Kindergarten she began taking her frustrations out on the teacher rather than me. Now at 10 she is fabulously happy at school.

My boyfriend and I were able to take my daughter to the UT show, a very special school night.

Kori, I had so much fun at y'all's show at UT last week! I teach there and my husband is on staff, so we were the "older" couple standing in the back. I was also the hugely pregnant lady standing in the back--this is the 2nd time we've come to see you all in Austin since I've been pregnant, and I had so much fun introducing our daughter (due this weekend) to Mates of State in utero! ;)

Just wanted to say thank you for a great show and a fun last hurrah for our music-loving pre-parent selves!

kori,

at least she doesn't love school so much she tells her teacher that she wishes she was her mother. that used to happen to me when i was a kindergarten teacher! there is always something... she will get used to it and she will like it. now i teach high school and it is a whole different game. like i said, always something.

We are playing a UT show in Texas. Would love to play ACL again-maybe next year. I would love to get everyone into the show. Kerissa, can you send me your email? I'm not sure I can do anything but I could try.

Apryl, good to hear I'm not alone.

re: A Rollercoaster Ride

Suzy — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:05:09 GMT

I too am wondering if you are playing in Austin during ACL? I didn't see anything on your website. Or are you just coming to town to enjoy the festivities?

Would love to bring the family to a show if you are!

re: A Rollercoaster Ride

Apryl — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:53:17 GMT

We are going through the SAME THING. It's so frustrating. And today I had to pick my daughter up from school because she "wasn't feeling well". Crap, has she already figured out the hurt-tummy-get-out-of-school-card? I used to use that all the time so I could stay home and read. (NERD!) December, huh? Sigh...

kerissa — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 17:13:13 GMT

are you guys just playing that free show at UT, or another austin show that i can actually go to :(:(

i am a teacher, but not at UT. haha.

Tyler King — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 16:51:05 GMT

Saw you guys at Wanderlust and you were absolutely amazing. You probly don't remember, but my mom, brother, and I all waited for you guys after the show and got you to sign our t-shirts, :)

Hey there! I have been a fan for about 8 years! I have two girls now as well age 4 and 2years! I love reading your blog and enjoy laughing with you and all the cute and not so cute things kiddies do! I think you are both great parents to your girls! Love the music!

I love the video, it's really touching and elucidating.

korkor — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 23:03:45 GMT

Rachelle,

Thank you. Writing this blog has been a cathartic experience for me. Retelling these somewhat random details of our life kind of helps me work through decisions and milestones (and helps me try to be a mom with integrity-living the life I believe I should live) that was mushy, sorry. But, seriously , thanks.

re: Bite Me

thirstysike — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:02:10 GMT

I always feel a little weird reading your blog since I don't know you at all and your writings about life are so intimate. A) I thought I would let you know I read them so I'm not weirded out anymore. B)They have been inspirational. I have wrestled with what it means to be a mom and be myself and I thank you for being a part in helping me figure that out. My daughter is 2 (Naveed) and she loves dancing to your music. Re-arrange Us has been on repeat all summer - in an actual cd player. (cool cd booklet idea.) Thanks again. Rachelle (Steinbach MB Canada)

Came out and caught Mates at the Toronto Virgin Fest. Saw you previously at Lollapalooza two years ago and knew I wouldn't have wanted to miss your early Toronto set. You guys were great and deserved a much better timeslot. Anyway, only found out about this blog after the show and think it's really cool to get some behind the scenes info.

Cheers and you guys rock. See you in Toronto next time.

Ditto the cute pic of you and Jason comment.

So we just moved from NYC to Ohio...any tours to the midwest soon? Sad I missed you guys this last round.... oh and I don't think the age contest is so bad. Half the time my daughter sees a kid looking at her and she just scowls and says, "NO!" What a great friend maker. She's 2, I tell myself.

Jordan — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 03:45:54 GMT

cute video! :) & the picture of you and Jason is really adorable

I haven't gone to your blog in months ( I think ) but I love it! Cute pics! As I start my senior year here at PSU, I will stay more up to date on this!

re: The Final Countdown

Tori — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 19:52:38 GMT

How exciting for you all! The girls are both getting so big--no wonder they're so adventurous. And I'm sure Magnolia will love her new school.

Unrelated: I can't wait for the basement recordings! :)
