LOVE THIS SONG...LOVE THIS VERSION,







AND THIS ONE...From Jason Castro, during his stint on American Idol.
I read somewhere that he taught himself Ukelele just for this song.


and boy, does this bring back memories..



When Travis was little, and this commercial played, he loved the "zoom-zoom" song and then when Patrick came along, same thing. They both LOVED this song! It's catchy!

This is the whole version...

Isn't technology great? and really...have you ever seen a prettier girl? :)






Daughters lyrics

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too [x3]

Idea Explosion at Pat's school today. In all our years there, I have never been to this. Always in January and I don't take the time off after being off for the holidays. Next year...I need to go.

always next year.

I've been bad this week, don't think I have taken a picture. But that's okay. I can use something in their place for my book...that's the beauty of this project. IT. DOESN'T. MATTER! I'll figure something out. Maybe find a favorite picture from last year? or a favorite song, quote, etc. I'll figure it out and in 20 years when we are looking at the book, no one will know. Not even me, because my memory will be gone by then! :)

Travis had a half day today. His school hosted the Academic Decathalon so they dismissed the students at 11:30. He had to go back at 3:30 because they have a basketball game tonight, though. This is the same team I posted about earlier when it was such a good game and they won in overtime. I was not going to go, but Ty just talked me into it. Did not want to get Addy out in the wet and cold weather, but guess we will. It was just an excuse. I should be at every game. It's not THAT far...way south Hulen.

Addison found a bag of life savers this afternoon. She is on her 4th one already. Maybe I need a picture of LifeSavers!

Pretty typical day...had to go up to City Hall and sign papers to sell our easement to the city so they can widen the street and add sidewalks. I have been waiting for this since we moved it. Now maybe Patrick will be able to walk to school in middle school. or not! :)

Went and ran errands after work, then out to Spring Creek for dinner. Came home and made dozens of cupcakes for Idea Explosion at Patrick's school tomorrow. Then finished working, then around 10 p.m. I was cleaning out a gerbil cage so "Chewy" the gerbil can go to Idea Explosion tomorrow as a stand-in for a hamster that cancelled! :) FUN!

1-26-10 Update

Got a call from the day care. She never ate breakfast and then did not eat lunch. They were calling to see what she likes so they could get her to eat something. I was worried about that...she is such a finicky eater! Poor baby! Is it true that "when they are hungry, they will eat?"


update: When I brought her home, she ate half a can of raviolli (one of her favorites) and some cheese and goldfish crackers. She asked for an orange, but did not eat it. Guess they do eat when they are hungry. :)

Today is the day that I have been dreading since 2007. The day that I knew was going to come no matter how hard I fought against it. That day that was just going to rip my heart out.

Today is the day Addison went to day care.

The day that total strangers have to be trusted enough to leave my precious baby with. Well, okay, not a baby...but that sounds more dramatic.

When I took the boys to day care, they screamed and cried and were clingy and I felt so guilty for leaving them. I have been dreading that with Addy.

So what happened? I walked over to tell her I was leaving and try to comfort here a little before I left and before I could even get close to her or say a word she waved me away and said "No, I don't want to leave."

WHAT? YOU don't want to leave? what happened to Mama, Don't leave me? and the screaming? And the crying? and the gut-wrenching sobs?

No, I don't want to leave. And she waved me off. (like, get away from me).

Will she like the other kids? Be nice to them? Play with them? Will she EAT? she is such a picky eater. I told them to call me if she won't eat. Will she hit anyone if she gets mad? Will she miss me? Will she wonder when I'm coming back? Will she ask for her binky? Will she take a nap?

Will this day ever end? I want to go back and get her so bad. I know in some ways it will be good for her...to be with kids her age and be able to play and have some structure. I called it school, and she was excited that she was going to school.

Will she want to go back to mom's tomorrow?
