Phil Collins

Yes, that is an interesting title.  To quote him "I can't dance", but my girls are sure having fun trying!

I love how Hadley bobs her head to the beat of the music and throws one hand in the air as she works the turntable.  I also love how Brynne dances as she sees fit and not necessarily to the beat. 

I'll try to stop them from liking the techno beats so much, but they sure do love dancing.  In case you can't understand Hadley at the end, she is saying "We're dancing".

Throw your hands in the air...

and wave them like you just don't care!

To my beautiful little girls,

Someday, I hope you see this and remember something I'm trying to teach you.  Be yourself.  Have fun.  Only be concerned with what God thinks, not what people think.  Do that, and you'll be fine.

All my love,

Papa

It all revolves around the garden.

When you have your girls dress up as garden gnomes for Halloween......

you're bound to get garden helpers in the spring.

Movies

I don't know if my girls will love or hate movies from the 80s, but I thought I'd throw out a few pics of them "reinacting" scenes from some.  Here are their/my current top ten, in no particular order, plus a bonus.

I guess that means 11 in total, but ten with a bonus sounds better.

10 - Say Anything



In your eyes...

 9 - Top Gun


Requesting permission for a fly-by.

 8 - The Karate Kid


Wax on, wax off.


7 - Rocky


Yo!


6 - Big


Next, we play chopsticks.


5 - Adventures in Babysitting


Julia picked this movie, so I don't have a funny quote.

 4 - Footloose

3 - The Breakfast Club


Yep, I made heart shaped french toast for their birthday.

 2 - Pretty in Pink

Sometimes, you don't need a caption.

1 - The Great Outdoors

Nothing like spending time with family.

Bonus - The Goonies

There is a slide in the Goonies, and since I love this picture, I thought I'd stretch for the connection.

Any good ones I missed?

Sometimes, they listen better than we think

In sales, if you get the wrong answer, you've asked the wrong question.  With children, it doesn't really matter what you say, they will respond as they see fit.

Sometimes, they listen better than we think.

Sometimes, they do exactly as you say, even when it isn't what you meant.

Quick post.  Quick video.  Enjoy!  Listen to the words and see how they listened to me.

We didn't rehearse this.  The girls reacted to my words, and I reacted to their actions.

Yes, they still wear the squeaky shoes.

Bubble wrap fun

Time for another very short video.

It's the simple things in life that make it so enjoyable.
