More Spontaneous Songs

As you know my boys have a tendency to break out into song while they are playing.  Check out their latest number.

Happy Fall(ing)

It is enevitable.  When you have had 2 sick kids and a job in this economy where productivity/ cost cutting is emphasized it is easy to get run down.  So I am sick and I hate it.  Too bad that I have a million deliverables and a twinado to watch and other numerous errands.  Can't I get a waiver for colds/flus for hardship reasons? I think if it is only October, it is going to be a rough winter.

A moms gotta do...

Is it wrong that I am going to leave spilled pasta shells on the floor overnight because they are easier to sweep up in the morning?

P wouldn't eat his turkey dog tonight. A dead animal free day for him! 

Go Veggie!

Last night, I made the children their typical working parent meal (fish sticks, veggies- previously frozen, banana, and they got tator tots because Tim wanted them with his Veggie burger).  PJ was eating his food and asked if the fish was dead. When I said yes, he spit out his fish stick and sweetly said, "Please, Mommy, stop feeding me dead animals."  He told me he did not want to eat dead animals anymore, lunch was the last time. He requested that no dead animals be packed for his lunch tomorrow too. (By the way- AJ ate P's fish sticks)
I did pack leftover fish sticks for AJ and made a special cheese sandwich (we have a no nuts policy at school).   I guess PJ is going to be eating a lot of eggs since he is not too in love with beans and rice or tofu. I am going to have to do some kid friendly recipe research ASAP. 
I think I better learn to shut my mouth better or else I think P will turn vegan when he asks me where his eggs come from.  Or maybe I should just pony up for free range eggs?

Music Video Critics

When I pick up the boys, I switch off the NPR and turn on the music channels. The boys usually latch on to certain songs that are currently in pop music rotation. They have been obsessed with anything from Lady Gaga, Katy Perry's Hot and Cold, and Green Day's 21 Guns. They are trying to learn all the words and I think it is hilarious when they start busting out the song on their own. (Although I wonder what must their teachers must think when they start busting out some of the songs in their repertoire like Flight of the Conchords' Business Time.)
Because they are obsessed with these songs, I sometimes like to play the videos for them on You-Tube. They make me play Lady Gaga’s over and over. When we played the Green Day video they were disappointed. They asked where Lady Gaga was and I told them she wasn’t in this one. They told me that the video would be much better if she was in it.
