It’s our problem-free philosophy
My kids may love the tee-vee, but they are most definitely not couch potatoes. They run the circuit, jump on the mini-trampoline, climb up the slide (instead of sliding down), and stage wrestling matches.
And they dance. A lot.
There’s a turntable in the living room where we boogie down to my ancient Grease album. Kyle plays his Rush in Rio DVD whenever he cleans, and he and the girls rock out together. And even if there’s no music, that doesn’t stop CJ from climbing onto the coffee table and wiggling her rear until I sing “Shake shake shake…shake shake shake…shake your booty!” while she beams at me over her shoulder.
By far the most consistent dance routine is Tacy’s rendition of Hakuna Matata. Usually executed before bathtime, she sings and dances until she collapses in giggles, taking me along with her.
Hakuna Matata…it means “no worries”
It’s our problem-free…
…philosophy!
Hakuna Matata, Miss Goosie. May you always dance so freely.

Just last night I heard that song and could not get it out of my head. Now I won’t even try :).
It’s a catchy one, eh?!

My, oh my, but you’ve done a magnificent job creating the perfect little girl’s room. Don’t mind my constant presence in your sitemeter as I shamelessly crib from the pictures here.
And the nightgown, where did that come from?

Seriously. HOW cute is that?
You must have another. Oh wait…

Oh my gosh, the nightgown, the moves, the pink and white bedroom, and especially the HAT - you have SO captured it all! To a point. Next you will really have to video tape the dance - this is only a tease!!

She is SOOOO sooo adorable! My girls like to shake their groove thang, too.
p.s. I love her purse theme nightgown. Adorable!

Oh my God, SO cute. I’ve been trying to upload video of Thalia dancing for the last month but since I’m a ‘net spaz…no luck yet.And who knew I could win something for it.

Love it! You know we are ALL about the Lion King here. I was kind of disappointed when my kids figured out the real words instead of singing “it’s our p’oblem-fee … A-LO-SO-PHEEEEE!”
August 31st, 2007 at 7:52 pm
She is taking all my worries away just looking at her!

The hat takes the cake, she knows how to put on a show. Uh oh, guess what song is now stuck in my head?
