Music Time

Jackson, Emma, Kambryn, Sadie, Jantsen, Creighton, and Rylee(half of her) during "5 Little Monkeys". Just a few of the friends that join us during singing time.

I finally remembered to take my camera this week to music time. Can I just say that I love this time. My kids love it too. We first start out with introducing everyone with the song "Where is (Jantsen) Where is (Jantsen)?" and then they answer "Here I am, Here I am" (to the tune 'Where is thumbkin') and we go around the whole room to each kid. My kids like to raise their hand and respond. This month we are singing songs about animals and the zoo. So each kid gets an animal puppet to sing with, play with instruments and march in a parade, and learn to tap with a beat with drumsticks. At end the hour we say goodbye to each kid with a song. It is such a fun hour that my kids are really starting to love and look forward to. It is also fun for me because there are so many fun moms here that I get to hang out with. But I also like to pass this off as an educational thing for my kids to do, not that Dora wouldn't do the trick either. I am glad they like it! Music time is another fun perk that comes with living where we do. Love it!

Kobe can't even peddle his triscicle we got for birthday. hopefully with time he'll get the hang of it. that is just in time winter :) It looks like there are so many fun things to do.

That looks like so much fun for both you & the kids! Bryce & I should have lived in Village Green in Omaha, you guys always have so much fun! Hey, I meant to tell you how excited I was to see that you have been reading the Twilight series! I knew you'd love it, everyone does!! Have you finished the 4th book yet?

Yep, lots of tears. Thanks for sharing. I miss it so much! (I'm a big wannie I know, but honestly, had no idea how badly I would miss it.)
