silent night, lovely night

Last week we were having our family night and wanted to sing "Silent Night" for our opening song.  Josh - in Green Turtle Shells - says "Hey, I can play that!" and runs to the piano and accompanies our family as we sing! 

what a lovely night!

payday

I was sitting at my computer listening to my boys fall asleep (3 boys in one room, almost 5, 7 and 9) and they are listening to the 7 year old's Purple Magic CD.  They are singing along to "Magic Keys" and the 9 year old is singing the bass line.  Next they are singing "Treble, Bass, Line and Space" and they decide that the 5 year old will sing the treble spaces, the 7 will sing the treble lines and the 9 will sing the bass lines.  It comes to the harmony part - they make it for about 2 measures, then erupt into laughter "You messed up!  You sang my part!" and more laughter.  Then "let's try that again!  I love doing harmony!"  *Ahhhh* - payday.
