Lyrics

We are now the proud owners of a three-CD set of kids' songs. 130+ snappy, snazzy tunes to keep your preschoolers singing at the tops of their lungs all around town. Thanks, Christine. Here are some of the songs included in the collection:

• "Ankle" Doodle Dandy
• Clementine- have you ever listened to the words of this macabre, incestuous song? In the first verse, Clementine kicks the bucket- drowns, to be precise "she is lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry, Clementine". Then Clementine's lyricist lover pays her tribute with these words: "How I missed her! How I missed her, How I missed my Clementine, But I kissed her little sister, I forgot my Clementine." Niiice.
• Hole in the Bucket- this one prompts Makena to sing/yell at Reese "DEAR HENRY, DEAR HENRY" anytime Reese approaches me and asks me to fix anything.
• Waltzing Matilda- this Australian classic is sung by a Scottish man with a very thick accent. Confusing to me, but this is the hands down favorite.

A few random pictures. These are their prized princess nightgowns (thanks, Tara!)
Here they are ready to leave for gymnastics. Their cheapskate mom finally bought them leotards so now they can hang with the coolest kids in the class.
This one made me laugh- I went into Reese's room to wake her up from her nap one day only to discover she had relocated the menagerie of animals, books and pillows from her bed and recreated it directly under her bed. She was out like a light.
