It is America's Birthday

Our son made this song up while lying in bed on July 4 when he was 5. We listened and recorded it over the baby monitor. He'd never sang it before or since, but he does like to hear the recording. One of our friends suggested we share it for the 4th...so here it is!

Oh, the video is some random thing I found on the intertubes. It's from sUPERED. http://blip.tv/file/931317/ Isn't Creative Commons-remix licensing a beautiful thing? Uh, yeah. And thanks, sUPERED!

(You'll need to have QuickTime installed on your computer - if you get a "missing plugin" message or see a blank box in the middle of the page, that's why.)

Open the boxes!

We ended up with a bunch of Amazon packages all at once. Saturday morning, the boys decided it was time to open them. They informed me of their opinion with great enthusiasm.

Same movie as the last time, but maybe I can get the embedded video to work now?
