Not ready for romance...

We got a new CD this week. It is a CD of church music and other music for kids, and its an A Capella CD of course. One of the songs on it is called Peanut Butter and Jelly. It is basically a cute little romance sung from the point of view of the peanut butter. The first part of the song goes something like this...
I'm Peanut Butter and you are Jelly
And we're so happy on our little piece of bread
I remember the first time that I saw you
Sitting 'cross the cupboard with your other jelly friends

And you're so sweet, and I am crunchy
You're low fat-well I'm working on that
'Cause I'm Peanut Butter and you are Jelly
And we're so happy on our little piece of bread

#3 has been singing along with a lot of the songs on that CD, and today while we were out running some errands he was singing it along with the CD fairly loudly. After a couple of minutes I noticed that he was giggling and singing the words slightly different. Instead it was

I'm Peanut Butter and I am Jelly
And I'm so happy on my little piece of bread
I remember the first time that I saw me
Sitting 'cross the cupboard with my other jelly friends

And I'm so sweet, and I am chunky
I'm low fat-well I'm working on that
'Cause I'm Peanut Butter and I am Jelly
And I'm so happy on my little piece of bread.

Every once in a while he would accidentally sing the real words and then correct himself. I guess he just hasn't found that special someone yet.

I really want to learn how to play this song on guitar, but don't know the tabs. Does anyone have the tabs written down? Would really appreciate it.

What could be better than a free pet?

Two of them! A while back I wrote about our snail Claireford going the way of all the earth (i.e. he/she croaked). I also mentioned that after Claireford's untimely demise there was a mysterious tiny little slug-like creature in the tank. Thinking it may have been a baby snail with an undeveloped shell, I kept it for several weeks, but eventually I gave up on it being a snail and set it free. I know that snails and slugs are pretty much the same thing, but I just can't stomach the thought of feeding slugs for some reason. Snails, I can handle. Near the start of the school year I was walking home from the school with #3 and #4 and I chanced upon a snail crossing the sidewalk. I stopped the boys and had them come and look at it. My intention was to look at it, and then let it go on its slow but merry way. Then I saw a second snail just off of the sidewalk, and I couldn't resist. #1 was pretty sad when Claireford died ( Claireford is named after Cliff and Claire Hu...

Let them be little

I made this video/slideshow about three years ago when I was first learning how to use video editing software. Its not award winning, but it makes me feel good, and it has all five of the boys in it. I hope you enjoy it!
