Dirty Arms!
Lately many of our evenings have been filled with Hubby and his little boy watching American football games together.

Old MacDonald Had A Farm
We like to use our felt finger puppets from Auntie H and Uncle E to sing Old MacDonald Had A Farm to baby girl while putting them on our fingers. We couldn’t think what kind of a sound a raccoon would make though. Any ideas? Silly Boy’s Version Mr. Happy Feet came up with […]
