Songs to sing

Sophia has been asking "Momma sing me a song" Agh... I can NEVER remember words to songs, no matter how many times I have listened to them! So, I've been going thru the 'ol ipod to see what I can find...Songs that the words are meaningful, & not the typical "kids songs"  Here's my list so far- LOVE these! I wish I could attach sound files... & PLEASE if you have any suggestions, I'd love to add them to the list!

1. Smile- Charlie Chaplin (I like the Michael Buble, or Lyle Lovett versions)
2. Garden Song- Peter Paul & Mary
3. Sunshine on my Shoulder- John Denver
4. Over the Rainbow- I like Bob Schneiders version
5. Heavenly Day- Patti Griffin
6. Ordinary Miracle- Sarah McLachlan
7. Spoonful of Sugar- Harry Connick Jr
8. Three Little Birds- Bob Marley
9. What a wonderful World- Louis Armstrong

Cute chicks


Anna is eating food! She LOVES real food, but isn't too fond of baby food. She was shaking with pure excitement while eating a real peach. Could you imagine being so easy to please?  She also really likes mashed potatoes, banannas, toast, muffins, apples & the occational sucker that Sophia lets her try. hee hee.

These are some of our new cute chicks! This would've been a cute photo opp for the girls with the chicks... but I was the one holding the chicks while Sophia would pet them. We tried to let Anna pet them. She would start gentle & then try to grab/squish them, so she is banned from chick petting till next year. :) The chicks were delivered to the post office- crazy! Then the girls & I went to pick them up & brought them to their home under the heat lamps. Sophia & I go out to the barn everyday. She likes to be the boss, so she'll say "Momma you need to scoop out the poop""There is some there.... & there.... & there" "Momma you need to give them new water" "Momma they need more food too" :)

Point of view




Sophia just got a new kids digital camera. These are from her point of view! I am thrilled with this- how fun to see her perspective!

Sisterly Love

 The other day the girls were on the bathroom floor waiting for the tub to fill up, Sophia had a grape sucker. They were gigling, until I opened the door. Then silence. I told Sophia that it seemed like they were up to something... she said I was just sharing my sucker.On cue Anna smiles & licks her lips. Really, this already!? What am I in for? :)

Is it Spring yet?

Last weekend we went to a huge garden center with Grandma Opal. What a fun place for little ones to see color! Anna's chubby fingers were touching all kinds of colors, textures & patterns. For an hour we were in paradise! 

This was our 'Welcome Spring" sidewalk drawing. It was a few days entertainment. Of course Sophia has a snack- that girl LOVES to eat! That is Yellow Kitty, Sophia has a clever naming system for the farm animals: The animals color + the kind of animal = it's name.
