Pink- the artist, not the color

I love Pink. I've never bought one of her albums, but I love her music. She is completely opposite of me (and I sometimes wish I could be like her instead of the way I am), but it makes me like her music even more. So, naturally, when her music comes on the XM radio in my car, I tend do sing along, quietly though, or just mouth the words.
She has just come out with a song about breaking up with her husband, talking about how she's still a rock star with her rock moves, and she doesn't need him anymore. It has a lot of the "nah-nah" stuff in it and it's a catchy melody.
Nathan was humming this song the other day and started in with the "nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah." James says, "Daddy, that's not how it goes, it goes like this: Nah nah nah nah nah nah, we're gonna start a fight!" Nathan asked him where he heard that, and James says, "In Mommy's van!"
Sigh.
I guess I have to start paying attention to the vocabulary used in songs I like. Goodbye Ani Difranco in the car! Ha.

Minkle Minkle Mickle Mar

James is kinda predictable right now. He is in the stage where he finds it hysterical if you speak gibberish instead of the real words to a song, etc. Every night when I put him down to bed I ask him what song he wants to sing, and he replies with "How about... Minkle Minkle Mickle Mar..." or something to that extent. It's starting to get annoying! Ha ha. It seems like you spend so much time trying go get your kids to say the correct sounds, and then once they know those correct sounds, they love to make them incorrect again. Ha.
Right now Ben and Jack are here at our house so Mom could go to church and direct the choir. Kevin and Mandy are in Ireland, having a blast, I'm sure. I love these kids so much. They are so fun, so sweet, and absolutely love playing with my kids. Cameron has really shown me that she loves to watch Kaitlyn and play with her whenever she's around. Jack loves to teach James things, such as how to tie your shoe. Ben laughs and laughs at the silly things that James says. It's so fun. It seems like just a few days ago that I was laughing at the silly things that Cam and Ben were saying when they were so little... and I remember clear as day getting the phone call that Jack had been born. Now he's 6! Wow.
