Diamonds on the soles of her shoes...

Kids always have a certain type of music that they absolutely love and will stop everything they are doing to dance/sing a long. While I was pregnant Aaron loved heavy metal, mainly Metallica, mainly the song Enter Sandman (messed up, right?), Jill my free spirit on the other hand loved Sublime, mainly the song What I got (better than Enter Sandman at least). When they were newbies they loved listening to country station on the TV rather than listening to the classical music on their swings. Then we were over the country and became fans of nature sounds, that was great, I felt like I had to pee every five seconds, but they were happy. Then we were fans of Beatles (YES YES YES) lullabies. Now that they are toddlers anything from Sesame Street or the Wiggles will make them "break it down" if you will. But now, my lovely daughter, she has a fascination with Ladysmith Black Mambazo. For real! The love affair started with Sesame Street's 25th musical celebration....


I passed this little nugget onto my sister Cathy and she sent me this...


I had no sooner hit play and Jill saw Ladysmith Black Mambazo on my computer and was in my lap dancing along to the song. Maybe this means I have a highly cultured child?
And what's Aaron's favorite? Well he'll dance to Dave Matthews Band (YES YES YES), and he laughs when the Andrews Sisters come on, but other than that he is quite content with Sesame Street and the Wiggles.

Whoops gotta run, apparently a room full of toys isn't enough and they need to have a knock down drag out over the same toy!

A lot to be thankful for this week, so here we go! This week I am thankful for....

• Having a great husband who took care of the kiddos while I was sick!

• Waking up this morning feeling a little closer to my old self. Maybe this has finally worked itself out?

• The construction project next door looking like it is near completion. I think they are nailing on the last shingles (yeah at 7 am, seriously).

• My friends son responded well to chemo. He has had 2 of the 10 sessions and is doing fantastic, please keep him in your prayers!

• Alka Seltzer cold medicine, you rock.

• All the well wishes while I was sick!

• All the hugs from my kiddos, even though now I think those hugs were probably not a great idea (Aaron is starting to cough).

• Mimi and PawPaw taking Morgan to the vet for us, even though it made Jill mad.

• Morgan being a gentle puppy and letting the kids pet her whenever they want.

• Skype! Lani and I had a video call yesterday (yeah we only live 10 minutes away) about work and it was awesome, now if my parents could figure it out that would be even better!

• Sesame Street and Wiggles DVD's. They were lifesavers this week!

• Great blog friends who are excellent sounding boards and are always there to lend a helping hand!
  

Hope you had a great week! Play along with Nicole at What a Trip!

Thanksgiving Thursday

It's been a pretty busy week so far, but a lot of good stuff has happened. So this week I am thankful for...

• Whoever visited my blog from Poland. I know that's totally random, but it is my mother land and I think that's awesome.

• All the new visitors to the blog compliments of Saucy, Momblogs and mamablogs. Leave me a comment with your blog and I'll check you out!
  

• The shopping trip to Carters with Mimi. It was a good time and the kids got a ton of cute stuff.

• The Sesame Street 25 years of music celebration DVD. Buy it, it's awesome, no seriously. Just click here. Honestly it's more exciting for the adults than the children. I sang along with pretty much every song on there, and about cried when Jill started clapping and bouncing.

• Scott and everything he has done this week. I've got my fingers crossed for you and I know it'll be awesome!

• Awesome playdates this week. And a big thank you to Lani for having all of us at her house and even making lunch (and a veggie lunch for me since I couldn't eat meat yesterday)!

• Nellie's Dryer Balls. I highly recommend them, they cut your drying time down a lot. Thank you to my wonderful sister Cathy for sending them my way!

Hope you all have a great day and have a lot to be thankful for!
