Singin' & Dancin'

* there are videos on the blog & well you will want to hear them - so pause the music player =)


With Husband working late for the last couple of months we have had to come up with things to do to keep me from going crazy stay busy and happy. The new favorite thing to do is to open up the couch in their room and make a "stage." This all came about after we got them a new CD Party Like a Preschooler by GO Fish! it is great and helps break up all the other CD's because it isn't as annoying high pitched. It has a fun new twist on some of the old favorites and are fun.

Right now their favorite song on the CD is 5 Little Monkeys. (How appropriate?) The boys know how to do the hand motions for it and well they know all the words - which for the CD is a bit more difficult because the song is pretty crazy! =)

First I would like to give you a peak at Mini C dancing. It looks like he is standing up on his own - he has actually managed to prefect the lean on the cushion in front of him!

I believe that in a given night I listen to 5 Little Monkeys about 13 times. That is being on the low side. Now Silly Pants is able to turn the CD player on and click song #5 (Monkeys) so I expect to be listening to it a lot more...Oh no Yea for me!

<~~~~Here's a pic of Silly Pants rocking on his "guitar" to the song. As noisy as instruments are I am pretty sure we will be acquiring some in the near future.

Here are the boys dancing and singing to the song. This is what we do for about 2 hours 30 minutes every night.

These boys - including Mini C - are struggling with Husband working so much overtime (but we are thankful that he has a job & gets paid well for overtime!) So if I must endure enjoy endless hours of Partying like a Preschooler than that is what I must do to keep their tiny gigantic spirits up until the end of this.

Here is Silly Pants doing a solo of the song. Seriously it is one of the funniest & best things to watch!

So tomorrow is Monday - a night when Husband leaves between 6:30 - 7:00. As you are eating, relaxing, showering, reading, snacking, having a drink, surfing the web, being mindless - think of me. Know that I am exhausted, being jumped on, deprived of useful sustenance, dirty, reading 47 Beavers , wishing I had a drink and having no mind - but still loving my life and wouldn't trade it for anything. Through the chaos is amazing life and well these 3 boys make me feel alive - even when I feel dead!

Our first real time playing in the snow...

Public Service Announcement-

So if you have been paying attention - I am a little behind on my blogging - so I will remind again, I am posting all that I should have in the past few weeks. So make sure you are scrolling down to see all that is new...

Knowing I am a bit behind - this blog actually happened a couple of weeks ago - so yes we have been going out side - it's not that we have been cooped up so far this season...

So if you had read my blog about winter you would know that we really enjoy going out at night. The first night it was a good temp with little to no wind we were out there!

Got the two big boys bundled up and shoved them outside while Husband got ready and I got Mini C ready. Mini C wasn't liking the extra layers that were required but as soon as we got outside he was mesmerized byt he falling snow.

As husband was clearing the deck off Monkey was playing with the snow on the slife and well...you guessed it - eating it! What is it about kids and eating snow? Unfortunately I just don't remember what the wonder is about that. But hey as long as it's not yellow snow all is well!

While Monkey was doing his thing Silly Pants decided that he was going to make a snow angel.

Although when he was done he needed a hand getting up so that he wouldn't break it.

Here husband& I are with Mini C

We didn't last to terribley long outside that night. He was tired and wanted to be able to roll around. So soon after I took him in so he could go to bed.

Here are the two big boys sledding down the hill in our back yard. It was so cute watching the two of them. Silly Pants would help Monkey bring his sled up and then they would either go down alone or Silly would hold the sled so Monkey could get on and they would go down together. I was so fun so fun to watch. It was so hard getting them in when it was time.

Although like any other time - you mention Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows and they pretty much go running!!!

So this was our first real night of fun in the snow!
