The Infamous "Fanana Song"

James and I take turns singing to the boys at bedtime. Sometimes it's hymns, sometimes it's nursery rhymes, and sometimes we just make them up as we go. The boys usually like James' made-up songs better. Mostly because they have to do with poop or farts, or some other bodily function that the boys find hilarious. Recently, they've been singing what they call the "Fanana Song." I'm not sure what it's really called, but you'll know the tune when you hear it!

(A couple of explanations are needed: Fungus is what we lovingly call Ben's Blanket. He has had it for quite sometime. It's a knit blanket that is completely falling a part and I'm sure, no matter how much I wash it, that it's really growing something! It's kind of gross. I started calling it fungus as a joke, and then the other night Ben was in bed and asked, "Where is fungus?" The name has stuck ever since. We've tried several tactics to get him to trash fungus, but he refuses. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears! Ralph, as many of you know, is Bradley's stuffed dog. Okay, the rest you should know.)

Three Little Fish



There is a great P.E. class for home schooled kids hosted by the 5 Cities Swim Club in Arroyo Grande. We go at least once a week and the kids have a ball. Check out the videos of them showing off their talents! Aah, I am so proud!

Happy 4 Week Birthday Sofi!



My little niece is 4 weeks already today! Savanna and I were able to go down and visit her again this past Thursday and Friday. She is so cute, and very feisty as her Mama calls it. She has gained several pounds and has the chubbiest cheeks and thighs! I was able to cuddle with her a lot, and there is nothing sweeter than the feel of a newborn laying on your chest with her relaxed breathing and cute noises and grunts.

As cute as she is though, I have to say that my bout of baby fever is officially over. Watching my sister with her for two days brought to my remembrance how much work a newborn is! It's funny because my sister use to watch my three kids occasionally, and afterwards she would tell me that I was her birth control. At one point she even told me, "I can't believe you do this every day! You're crazy!" Those exact words went through my head as I watched her feed the baby, rock the baby, change the baby, hold the baby, feed the baby again, change the baby again and again and again! Man! I may be content with just three...but we shall see! At any rate, work or no work, Sofi is adorable, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with her (and you too Heath!).
