Giggle & Hoot live in Brisbane

If you have little kids then you'll be well aware of Jimmy Giggle and his owl pals Hoot and Hootabelle.... we're a bit obsessed with them here. Actually apparently mums all over Australia are a bit crazy obsessed with Jimmy Giggle himself. You could probably say I'm one of them, but not in a crazy stalker I want to have his babies kind of way. More because I can appreciate the attraction of a man who keeps kids entertained and (at least looks like he) enjoys it. Doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eye (but the hairy chest is a total deal breaker, it was never going to happen even if he didn't have a wife and baby on the way and me and T weren't engaged with a toddler; sorry Jimmy!). As soon as I saw the Giggle and Hoot tour announced I was all over it. We bought tickets like two minutes after the pre-sale was open. Yea, like I said, we're a little obsessed with Giggle and Hoot.

Bub had no idea what was going on and I think she actually thought we were going to the hospital because thats the only time we ever go into the city early in the morning. Then when Aunty Sam and her cousin showed up and we went into a big theatre she got a bit suss. And wasn't interested in being part of this group photo at all.

But she soon realised what was happening when she saw these guys show up...

Well to be honest she probably didn't know exactly what was going on and was probably wondering how the hell they got out of the tv and in front of her. But either way she soon got super excited.

I was going to use this photo for next weeks 52 Weeks of Memories happy prompt, but it came out a bit too fuzzy. Shes so, so happy in this photo I'm glad I caught it on camera. She was actually way more excited at the concert than she was when she actually met Jimmy in person a few months ago, no offence Jimmy she'd just woken up that day.

I'm both proud and slightly ashamed to admit that I was singing all the songs at the top of my lungs the whole time, but its ok it was really loud in there so nobody could hear me. Probably lucky for them. Even though I totally rock at singing kids songs.

It wasn't just Giggle and Hoot either, the Banana's in Pyjamas made an appearance too. Bub and her cousin got crazy excited when they saw them. You'd think kids would be scared of people dressed up in huge banana suits, but apparently not.

Zap, Jango and Mimi from Hoopla Doopla were there too. Although it was super hard to get a non blurry photo of them performing because they're always moving around so much. Its seriously cool what they can do. Makes me want to be an acrobat, but then I remember I'm unko.

Jimmy, Hoot and Hootabelle came back out on stage later on and Jimmy was rocking his pyjamas as well. Just between you and me I think he was taking fashion advice from the Bananas.

The show was awesome, like a musical for kids. Just when we thought it was over they all came back on stage for another huge dance.

{Zap is totally checking me out in this photo, ha}

If you're looking for a fun activity to do with the kids and they love Giggle and Hoot then you should definitely go see the show. The tour goes until April across the country.

Have you seen Giggle and Hoot live?
