have you ever heard the school yard chant “beans beans the magical fruit.” well bushs baked beans wants you to rewrite that chant and tell people that beans are a vegetable.  they have teamed up with parent bloggers network this week to write about your favorite kiddie songs.

my kids love to sing. my daughter mckenzie makes up songs just about anything.  some of her songs are, i took her toys away for not cleaning them up. she sang,

 “mommy don’t take my toys away, i love you ,but  those are my toys. how am i suppost to play. don’t take my toys away”     

know notice ther is a song similar from the cartoon yo gaba gaba, but this was long before that show came out.  there was one on mothers day.

” mommy it’s mothers day and i got you a present. happy mother day mommy, i hope i’m good for you. okay so it doesn’t really make sense but it’s cute she’s only 3.

child hood songs that we sing together get twisted around in words. there is the alphabet, you know abcdefghij etc. well my daughter alexandra takes the lmnop part and wiggles her tongue to skip that part. they know row row your boat, but skip straight to the part of if you see a crocadile don’t forget to scream. and my daughter added another part. row row row your boat gently down the stream, merrily lifes a piece of cake.

some of the funniest i sing with the are old mcdonald, it’s so funny to try and see them snort there noses. i taught them patty cake and ring around the roses’ and i still play them. my kids have combined them together into one jingle.

they roll their arms and say patty cake patty cake. then they throw there arms in the air and say fall down. then they fall down 

now just imagine these two cuties singing those songs.

i’ll admit i have never been much of a clean freak. my husband is though so i’ve tried to better myself. after we had kids, i feel like i could clean from morning to night and make little difference.

it makes me feel like i’m living in a zoo, which reminds me of the fun animal sounds like the great toy, i know animals letters and sounds.  so when parent bloggers network had a blog blast about this exact thing i’m taking part.

i have two toddlers and a infant. so my living room is filled with toys, a kitchen playset, a playpen, and a walker. let me tell you it gets pretty messy. i step on toys all day long and feel like toys just keep adding up.as you can tell in the background. my living room is a mess. toys everywhere, my kids try to act like princess’s though!( should of used this pic on th

this is my living room on a good day. still messy but not as bad

 

my kids room is better than it’s been. my two girls share a room, so itgets a little messy. especially since i have another 4 bins of toys up there. plus i have clothes beyond belief, coming out of every corner. it gets a little rediculous.

my girls room, now i have to admit i did clean a little before i took the pic. no one wants to see little panties on the floor

 

my sons room (10 months) is a work in progress. he grows out of clothes so fast, and i don’t have a lot of places to put all this stuff. it kindof just gets cluttered. it’s pretty bad.

my sons room, clothes and outgrown baby stuff everywhere

 

after i had kids it became very difficult to do anything. i never do anything alone. i chase kids around the grocery store. i can never go clothes shopping. i’m constantly picking clothes up and putting them back. my kids pull them off the racks. there are tantrums in the stores. i do a load of laundry everyday.  

the worst of all is after meals. there is such a big mess. food ground into the carpet. food everywhere. i really have to say i feel like i’m living in a zoo.    i’ll admit sometimes i feel like i’m a animal in the zoo. i don’t have time to take a shower or put makeup on etc. it makes me look awful. but thats what kids are for!

my toddlers run around and scream all day like they are monkeys, whats worse than that is my sons scream i have never heard a boy scream lik etaht. he’s a howler monkey! my daughter jumps off furniture like a kangaroo. ugh! i’m living in a zoo!
