down on the farm

took the kids to pa dutch country last weekend for some wholesome summer fun. it was the first ever Cousins Meet up. :o) we had a great time. it was much less hassle than the beach(no wet, sandy swimsuits, no carting gear to and from the beach etc) and the kids absolutely LOVED staying on a real farm. m loved the tractors. k loved the kittens and the chickens..and j just loved RUNNING! the kid was seriously crazy with the running. the farm was a 100 acre playground for sure. we'll definitely be back....

da bes da bo durls

that's right. j learned a new song... and it isnt a nursery rhyme. it's the theme song to Hannah Montana. :o) i had no idea he ever even really heard the song since we dont watch the show-but m often watches the show that is on prior to HM so apparently my little songbird was all ears the few times we've left the tv on during the opening credits.

we were in the store the other day. there was no music on and i swore i heard "da bes da bo durls" coming from the stroller. i kept thinking, "what song is that?"...then the next morning, while the kids were eating breakfast i heard the first few notes of the song and saw j's reaction just as the chorus came up and he joined in ....

funny. the kid is 21 months old. he knows maybe 100 words -tops-but can SING the theme song to a Disney show!

we survived

another family vacation at the beach! despite one sicky baby who ended up with a 104 fever in the er...

the rest of the trip was great. good time was had by all...and even our little diva-who hates the sand and getting splashed ended up LOVING the beach! Just dont get any sand on her!
