I Dropped my Dolly in the Dirt

Just a little video before I leave town.
I only know one song on the piano. I played it the other day for the first time. Stella started weeping. I stopped playing and she was fine. Then I sang the song again later. Weeping.

So Jeff did a fancified version of I Dropped my Dolly in the Dirt. She didn't like it, but didn't weep this time.

Nursery Rhymes -- Are You Sleeping?

Frère Jacques, frère Jacques,
Dormez-vous? Dormez-vous?
Sonnez les matines! Sonnez les matines!
Ding, dang, dong. Ding, dang, dong.

Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Brother John, brother John?
Morning bells are ringing! Morning bells are ringing!
Ding, ding, dong. Ding, ding, dong.

Nursery Rhymes - Ba Ba Black Sheep

Early this morning, I was taking the girls to Target. It was 8 degrees outside. We just don't have clothes for this weather for the girls. I thought I should go warm up the car before I loaded them up. I went out and started the car. When I came back, Margot was still waiting for me right beside the door.

I went to open it and it was LOCKED! I ran around back to see if our hidden key was still there. It was GONE! Reappearing at the front door, I saw Margot, still patiently waiting for me. I asked her if she could open the door for me (we have a door that locks automatically from the outside, but stays open from the inside. You would think that I would know of such a feature on our door, but we switch it often. So, I forgot to check before closing it. Also, I started the car with my spare set of keys that has no house key -- I need to change that soon!).

Margot tried to open the door for several minutes. It's a hard door to open! Poor thing. I planned which window I should break.

Before I broke the chosen window, I returned. I told Margot to try REEEEEALLY HARD to open it. She was almost crying for the effort. She got it! I scrambled in (wearing no coat -- 8 degress) and hugged her and praised her without end.

On a lighter note, my darling husband is back home with me tonight after a long and COLD week apart. Here's my hero on the guitar. We'll be recording a lot of these in the coming weeks. (Don't you like how I say 'we'?) Put in any requests for nursery rhymes here in the comment section. Old MacDonald is next on our list.
