Music

Music...we love it. It is always playing, we are always downloading, you-tubing, singing, dancing. Not a day goes by that someone doesn't start singing a line from a musical, sing what they are saying, sing a question, or just talk about something musical. Paige and Carter will start singing choir songs -ones that Paige has sung that Carter is singing now, or *cough cough* songs that I sang in high school. Paige is playing the guitar, Mia is taking the piano and the boys are interested in both guitar and drums. Music makes our lives better. You can forget the troubles of the moment and sing and dance it away. Ginger called me tonight and what did we start talking about? Music. There was a song that reminded her of Paige. It is called Headphones by Britt Nicole. One of our favorite artists (there are many though)

She gave it her best She tried to fit in She tried to be cool

But she never could win

Her mom says she’s great

The kids think she’s weird

Honestly she wish she could disappear

Why you try, try to be like the rest of them

When you know there’s so much more within

There’s only one you

Here’s what ya’ gotta do Whoa, Whoa...

Anytime you feel alone, put on your headphones Love, love’s coming through your headphones Anytime you feel alone, put on your headphones Love, love’s coming through your headphones L-o-o-ove is coming through your headphones L-o-o-ove is coming through your headphones

It goes on to say, keep your head held high and dust off your shoulders. Music can give us all the ability to dust off our shoulders and move on :)

Some of my favorite memories with my kids are singing. The other night all four kids and I were in the bathroom singing something obnoxious (a song called to sing it to me-choir song) and each trying to sing louder than the other. It was so funny and would sound insane to someone from the outside, but TOTALLY normal for us. I am blessed with kids who love music as much as I do. ♥
