Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow,
For babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep,
I'm rocking my babies 'cause babies don't keep.

Our Little Singer/Songwriter

Our son has this adorable knack for making his own music when he is supposed to be sleeping and they are always so impressive. A few months ago, i was washing the dishes after lunch and he was supposed to be taking a nap, well, through the monitor i heard, 'Oh wa-ya, oh wa-ya', over and over again, so i went upstairs to peek at him and he was sitting up in bed with his sippy cup of water in his hands singing to it!!!!!!! How cute is that!!! He was only 1 1/2!! And just when you were thinking that was too precious for words, he does it again...
I was reading him his baby playtime book tonight while i was laying him down for bed and after i finished, he took it and started flipping through the thick, board book pages, looking for his favorite toys in the book. He stopped first at the picture of the car and started singing, 'Car, Car, Carley, Car,' then flipped some more and found the ball and started singing' 'ball, ball, ball'. while he was looking for the last toy he wanted to sing about, he repeated 'Car, car, Carley, ball, ball, ball', until he found the drum and added 'boom, boom, boom', all in beat!!! He continued to flip back and forth through the pages singing about the same toys in whatever order he found them while i layed down next to him, watching and listening in amazement at what my remarkable little boy is capable of.
I know i have said this a million times, but i have very bright children. there, a million and one, and counting. i guess i can no longer complain about him begging to watch Little Einsteins (Eidines) all day long. He loves it, what can i say, and obviously it's teaching him something. He even has a Discovery Toys car that looks like Rocket that he now sleeps with and hauls wherever we go. he walks around singing the song to the movie and says, ' go Rocket, go', 'zoom zoom', and 'blast-off', all day long, and if any other child dare touch it, he lets them have it. He lets me have it just for washing the yogart off the darn thing.
I do have to take a little credit for his creativity on behalf of my family and myself, we do sing Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree and Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam a lot, a lot a lot. not to mention all of the countless times we sing The Wheels on the Bus and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and so many others. this kid just likes to sing, just like his big sisters. I Stand All Amazed. The girls love singing with their baby brother, trying to teach him the words to their favorite songs when they were his age. They get such a kick out of his baby way of saying things, and i love when they come screaming to me to tell me about the new words they just taught him.


They also love making up songs of their own, why, just the other day, Keeley put on a whole 10 minute concert for me about the fish tank at Grandma and Grandpa's house, too cute!! And Carley just loves to sing about her toys, her day at preschool and her artwork!!

Children truly are a gift and i love moments like these.

I would like to post some new pics, but we cannot find the cords we need to download the camera, i know, i hate moving. anyway, as soon as we are able, we will update. I know you all are just dying to see more, but you'll just have to be patient.

wheres the haagan-daas!!!!!

i have to say, it's really bad for business to be around all of these pregnant women. i have three under five, my arms are more than full, and yet, i find myself getting a little weepy as i see their bodies change and listen to them talk about even the yuck. now, don't get all worked up and start telling me what a fool i am, i am still sane enough that when i come home, i also come back to reality right quick. it just makes me sad that my baby baby is going to be two shortly and my oldest baby starts kindergarten in the fall!! these young years are so precious and should be used wisely. when i figure out how, i'll pass it along, and you all do the same, but for now, we must all do our best to live in the moment and cherish each and every one. you can never truly comprehend just how fast time flys until you are a mommy or daddy. i'm going to go bing on some ice-cream and watch look who's talking!!!!

Failure- it is an option

It is just like the federal government to state that some companies are just to big to fail. BS. No company is too big to fail. Failure allows smaller players to become bigger, better, and more efficient than their predecessors. In all great economic upheavals, many companies failed and new ones stepped in and took on the roll of the failed companies. Never in American history have we upheld a private institution when the institution is bad for business. This non-failure policy is what we would call Communism. That is the truth. Let the big companies fail. Yes, times will be tough for a time, but this is what makes American great. Failure leads to better ran companies and new inventions when smaller companies step in. This is what has been occurring for the last century, with mergers, buyouts, and acquisitions. What failed with the laxity of laws being enforced by the policing powers that were in place to make sure companies remained honest. Let the likes of BofA, GE, Citi, etc. fail. We need it. The only other option is nationalization, which, is Communism. Tell me what you would prefer. Freedom, or death! We as citizens need to police the federal government and keep them in check. The founding fathers set-up a system where checks and balances were in place. Why? To keep the central government from becoming too big. Guess what? We failed. We allowed out government to become big brother. We allowed our self-reliance to be left up to the central government. Our founding father's worst nightmares came to fruition, all because of us. The only cure is failure; than we can re-boot the system. Once re-booted we as a nation need to police our central government and be pro-active in the political system. We also need to keep the government in check. America is the greatest nation that has ever been created on this planet, and we need to keep it this way. Currently we are heading down a path of self-destruction. Change, as Obama, put it, needs to be for bettering the system not creating more of it. The Change Obama put forth is change for failure. Which, is good. Once we fail, than the People will be ready for salvation. Are you ready?
