As i've said before shane has been recording songs at home. The kids have watched with a keen interest and have spent many of our quieter summer days forming a band.
In singing class* at school they learned the apology song by The Decemberists. Since then every single time we are in the car we have to listen to it and we ALL sing it at the top of our lungs. We are the popular choice for carpools.
So, with Toby on bass and electric guitar, parker on vocals and eliza on acoustic guitar they have been rehearsing. Parker mostly sings the ABC song, but it has been a highlight of the summer so far for me. While i am away next week shane has promised me that they will record it and i will definitely post it for all of you upon my return.
* I made a CD for the teacher with that song on it and he liked it so much he taught it to the kids.
** My camera is still wonky. I was able to get a couple photos off it, but i'm going to go get a new memory card tomorrow and hopefully that will work.

well how awesome is your school? Singing decemberists songs. I love it.
And wow, all the kids, but toby especially, look so much older. How do they change so fast? (or is it because they’re rocking out?)
Parker looks so darn cute in front of that microphone…like a professional!
I just could not love these fiery-haired children any more. I want them for my own.
