I mentioned that when I now listen to songs from my high school years, I sometimes realize that I had no idea what the lyrics really implied... <br /><br />I sometimes take pictures of my kids working on homework - but usually when it's a special project, not something 'ordinary' like practicing spelling lists.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10800864673813334725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-32320346161846290752010-08-22T05:18:43.235-07:002010-08-22T05:18:43.235-07:00Great song!

But I like the idea of mixing it up with songs occasionally too. Might have to keep that in mind for something to do toward the second half of the year, to mix things up a little bit.AnneShirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073203211897200297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-24517152341783504572010-08-20T12:01:29.018-07:002010-08-20T12:01:29.018-07:00I love this!

There are times when I hope my kids don't understand what the singers on the radio are saying.<br /><br />Very poignant song (and questions) you're sharing today! <br /><br />I always say that the age my kids are is always my favorite age. :-)Tabathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367572663591077922noreply@blogger.com
