The other day, I walked into the living room to hear the kids in the middle of "choir practice!!" ( I actually could hear "choir practice" throughout the entire house but wanted to check it out anyway! ) Dada had a Patch the Pirate cd BLARING in the cd player!!
One of the funniest things to me, was that they then started dancing to Patch the Pirate. (If you don't know anything about Patch, the music isn't something you can really "dance" to!!) So it made me laugh to see Brother all out shakin it!!
Brother left choir practice when his friend came over. Why play choir practice, when you can play guns and ride bikes with your friend, right?!?!?! Dada was in there quite a while though. She was singing her heart out! It was such a joy to listen to.I never want to discourage her from singing. When I was a child, I LOVED singing. With my whole heart I would belt out these same Patch the Pirate songs. If you know, anything about me, you know that I DON'T have a good voice. (I have inherited that trait from my Dad. He can't carry a tune for all he's worth.) Anyway, somewhere along the way of growing up people in our church started making fun of me for singing. So, finally, I stopped singing. I never ever want to discourage Dada from singing. She is making a joyful noise, and I know the Lord loves to hear it.
I will have to add this side note. When we are on our way to church, which is 30 min away, listening to her singing the SAME Christmas song over and over again becomes quite the chore and not necessarily a joy!! :) I have to pray for patience on those days!! Though I still don't want to squash that joy of singing and praising God!!
Brother really enjoyed having his friend over for the day. He was been BEGGING me for months to have him over. We were finally able to do it. Brother wanted his friend to help him with his Lego Star Wars game. His friend is a little older then he is and is much wiser when it comes to video games. So Brother couldn't wait to play the game with him.
After the video games were put away, the nerf guns game out. I have to say, the boys were in no mood to get their picture taken that day. They were way more interested in shooting Hunny.
Dada on the other hand can always be counted on for a picture!!

I love to hear my kids sing. But I have to say, when Zachary sings Opera at the top of his lungs-now that is where I draw the line. Other than that it's great. Well most of the time.:-)
I love Dada's Charlie's Angel's pose! Too cute. What's really funny is that I wrote about Patch the Pirate today, too. Those are classic songs aren't they? I can't wait to share them with Sam. My favorite was Here Am I! I'm so glad your kids love them, too!
