Apparently my singing is…not good

I can’t believe that the very first video I’ll be posting is one of me singing. Most of you probably didn’t even know that I could sing. You are in for a treat! Ella is particularly impressed with my abilities.

Ella loves to hear her mommy sing. from Playgroupie on Vimeo.

    LMAO You rock.

    Braden tells me to stop singing all the time now. What a jerk! “No Mommy, STOP.SINGING.MOMMYYYYYYYYYY”

    The other day I told him not to say that because it’s rude.

    Then when I was done, I made him say he liked my singing.

    I swear, I’m a good mother. I swear I’m a good mother. I swear I’m a good mother….

    HaHaHaHaHa! That is great! I have a few videos like that, but am not nearly as brave.
    I get too upset when my singing doesn’t make the girls laugh. But I am a crappy singer, so I shouldn’t be surprised.

    love the smiles at the end. You have adorable kids even if they scream when you sing. :)

    It surprised me to hear your speaking voice. I guess that when I read your blog, the voice I hear is the one in my own head — mine. So, to hear you speak and hear that you sound differently than I do was funny.

    Hehehe love it! I love your accent/voice btw, and you’re not a bad singer – Ella just doesn’t know talent… yet. ;)

    Zack does the same thing when I sing – of course it makes me sing even louder! Max doesn’t seem to mind, looks at me with one of those half-smile “what ARE you doing mum?” type of look, but he doesn’t scream. Yet.

    It’s funny, you’re voice sounds exactly like I would have imagined.
    Also, your kids are so cute!
    And also, it was very comforting to hear another toddler scream as loud as mine screams. We sometimes worry he’s possessed.

    I don’t know what was funnier, Ella’s screaming or your husband’s commentary about you sending her to her “safe place.”

    I thought you especially rocked the “bop bop bopping” part!

    When Ella blames you later for ruining her childhood through singing you can totally blame Tate, I mean you would have never sung if he hadn’t been holding the video camera.

    There is nothing more fun than torturing your own kid. I highly recommend that you do it often.

    Lemme tell you, I just love pissing off my daughter. She’ll get all bossy like that and tell me not to do something and I’ll just do it louder and longer. It’s hysterical to watch her get so damn mad.

    But then again, I’m kind of a bad mom.

    Jonathan wouldn’t let me sing for the longest time…lately he has gotten a little bit better and actually tells me to sing. Not asks…tells. It will get better…I’m sure. :-)
