Giving life the finger

While on our vacation we encountered some of the worst traffic and drivers ever. This fact, combined with our Garmin deciding to go all "rogue" on us and taking us through the lovely city of Canton, MI, no matter where we were supposed to be heading, made us a little loopy.

At this point, we started to tell the children to give everyone [bad drivers, people acting stupid, or any signs of construction or traffic, which was everyone, really] the finger. This consisted of the children pointing very strongly in random directions with their index finger. It was hilarious on our vacation, however,

I hope Drew didn't tell his kid-camp mates to do the same on all of their field trips.  His teachers might not understand the hilarity.

Anyway, being gone this long, and not reading any of your blogs is like giving all of you readers the finger. It's really not intentional, life is just getting in the way. Can I give life the finger?

Thanks, Jacob!

Drew and Jacob's Vacation Playlist

In honor of our vacation coming up, I decided to dedicate a playlist to our children's favorite songs, since I will be forced to listen to these a million times on the 3 1/2 hour car ride (Gah! 3 1/2 hours! The kids complain on 1 hour car rides! Thank goodness for portable DVD players). I try to mix kids and regular music in for them when we listen and this list reflects that. Basically, Jacob likes to dance and Drew likes silly songs.

2. I Like to Move It, will.i.am (Jacob)
3. A-Punk, Vampire Weekend (Jacob)

5. Gitchee Gitchee Goo, Phineas and the Ferbtones (Drew)
6. The Hamster Dance, The Hit Crew (Drew)
7. Viva la Vida,  Coldplay (Jacob)
8. Boat Of Car , They Might Be Giants (Drew and Jacob)

Updating....

Hi y'all. I will be updating my blogroll this week. Believe it or not, this is a daunting task. If you haven't written anything in over 2 months, I will be removing you from my blogroll. If you are reading me and I do not include you (this is possible, it's been about 8 months since I updated) let me know and I will include you! Thank ye very much!

Jacob Needs a Nap

I know that many of probably already saw this on FB, but I couldn't resist. Listen to the music with the video (the song was on the satellite radio, we did not plan this), and watch for a cameo of Drew at the end.
