Fractured Lyrics

Here is Sebi, giving his GQ pose, complete with white poodle. One of his most recent favorite videos has been Ultimate Silly Songs with Larry, of Veggie Tale fame. In fact, all the kids liked it so much, that after it went back to the library, I bought the album on iTunes. It manages to put all the kids in a happy place at breakfast, and really, if it can do that, do I care if they're singing about manatees and cucumbers?

One of the songs is called "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" which has been spun-off into a feature-length film, as our capitalistic society is wont to do these days. In the song, the pirates sing about all of the things they've never done (like been to Greenland, or swabbed the deck, or what have you) and always end with " . . . and I've never been to Boston in the fall".

Our kids sing it plenty. But just today we learned that Sebastian has his own version, which is " . . . and I've never been to Costco in Nepal."

I like the "belly-button" song myself. Too funny.

"Costco in Nepal"? Now Sebi is one great lyric writer!

Hey Mary Ann, I just came across something that reminded me to check in on this blog again...I just wanted to say hi, and your kids look ADORABLE in their Easter outfits. Where in the world did you find those great suits! Also, I just wanted to say you are a saint to take time off to take care of Saydi's kids. She was so thankful for you and I was so inspired. I need to do more nice things like that for people. Anyway, great to catch up on this great blog!

I love Sebi's new lyrics. One of our favorite veggie tales songs is "I Love My Lips". Maddie looks so grown up in her Easter dress...very "Audrey Hepbern-esqe" in her lovely hat. Happy Easter!

We replaced that annoying plastic grass with green cloth napkins this year. It looked great, there was no mess and no plastic.
