I heard this song the other day, it is called "Writing on the Wall" by Mark Harris and it just struck a familiar note with me. The husband comes home and can tell the wife has had a bad day, and then the little boy comes down the hall and the Momma says for him to show his Daddy what he has done. As many times in my girls lives I have had this experience - of being so aggravated about the "purple crayon" incident or something similar and their Daddy only seeing the humor in it (of course looking back I see the humor in it and realize I should not have been so upset.)
I remember the incidents with tissue paper being unrolled, full boxes of Cheerios being dumped into a bowl, coloring new shoes with crayons...they are funny stories now, but at the time - NOT! I suppose we should realize how soon these little ones grow up and we need to just treasure every minute we have with them, because before long they will grown and out on their own calling to tell us what "Harold did with his purple crayon" and we will see the humor in it then.
Hope you enjoy the video.

Today we went to see Alvin & the Chipmunks, and I must admit I did not think it could possibly be as good as I remembered from my childhood - but it was WONDERFUL!!! The computer animation of these sweet little cuddly chipmunks makes you want to go out and find one. Theodore was my favorite, he had such cute little green eyes (color coordinated to his outfit), also Theodore was voiced by Jessie McCartney who is quite a hit around my "tween" girls.
Still, in spite of all of the wonderful computer animation, there is still something to be said about "old school". Check out this classic video and the "Hula Hoop" song.
Also, if you ever had problems understanding "Chipmunk" lingo, here are the lyrics.
Chipmunks:)
Christmas, Christmas time is near,
Time for toys and time for cheer.
We've been good, but we can't last,
Hurry Christmas, Hurry fast.
Want a plane that loops the loop,
(Alvin:) Me, I want a Hula-Hoop.
(Chipmunks:)
We can hardly stand the wait,
Please Christmas don't be late.

I have watched Charlie Brown Christmas for years now and my most favorite part is when Linus explains the TRUE meaning of Christmas...
