Miss M's Hula moves

My new hobby has turned into one for all of us. Miss M LOVES to practice hula with me. Here is a quick video of her dancing. I have found that when I try to video her, she doesn't want to cooperate - but when I am taping her sister, she does everything she can to get into the footage.

*** also my disclaimer, my dinning room table is VERY messy in the back ground, it had all of the desk items on it. I am THRILLED to say I FINALLY got it ALL put away today! Now I just need my sister to help me organize it in my new craft area I CAN NOT wait!
It is feeling so good to finally get some organization done!! OK enough blabbing - HERE is the video! Enjoy!!

On the way home from Hula on Monday, she was singing the song Little brown Gal it is the song we are learning the hula moves to. I was amazed how she could sing this whole song! (I guess I shouldn't be amazed, she has always picked up on songs right away!
I hope she will let me tape her singing it soon.


Just one more funny Miss M story. Miss M LOVES to play games in the car. One of her favorites is Name that Tune. She started humming the tune to ABC/Baa Baa Black Sheep/Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I let her hum a few notes before I started guessing,

ME: "is it A B C D?"

Miss M: "Nope!" with a little giggle.

I listen to some more notes.

ME: "OH I know is it Bah Bah Black Sheep?"

Miss M: hee hee, "Nope not that one!"

so I listen a little bit longer - knowing that it MUST be Twinkle Twinkle!

ME: " I know, I know!! It's Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!!!"

Miss M: " OH Mommy you were SO close! It's Twinkle Twinkle Little star in SPANISH!"

Me in my head: " how was I supposed to know it was in Spanish from her humming it!?!?!?"

Clever little girl! ; )

I Stink!

Driving around town running here and there one must come up with fun car games to entertain a 4 year old.

We play Name that tune (which she rocks at!) I Spy, how many syllables, addition games, I'm Thinking Of a fill in the blank guessing games - (we have done animals, Disney Princess, Movie Lines, Bible or Book of Mormon Heroes, Food). We play rhyming games, opposites, and spelling games also "We went on a picnic and brought along - then you have to pick different items with the alphabet letters and repeat everything everyone has said ie. Apple, Butter, Carrot, Dishes etc. it's fun to try and remember what everyone has said, K and I have even done music bands, songs, movies etc. can you tell we LOVE games?!?

OK Back to my story, most recently K and Miss M have come up with a new game based on the new book she LOVES I STINK by Kate and Jim McMullan. (it really is a cute book! my favorite part is the stinking alphabet - which would be a fun version of the Picnic alphabet game...)

It's like an I spy game, when you spy a garbage truck you have to yell out "I STINK". Try it, it's fun! And if you have your windows rolled down and are yelling "I STINK" think of all the fun looks you will get from other drivers!!

Do we know how to have fun or what!!
