Photo of the Week: My Sister Be Crazy

Is it weird photo week or something? Check out this one of my son at his school concert - not dancing. ;p

Hot stuff, Ange!

Reminds me of a pic I took, also by accident, of my daughter's "hurricane hair" ...   It would be very hard to recreate shots like these!  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150987200334049&l=acaddfec91

My grandparents always sang Rose Garden with myself, my sister and my two cousins. We'd play it on their juke box and learn the line dance Slappin' Leather (or so they called it) every single time we visited there. At their 50th anniversary we went to a local pub for karaoke and sang it back to them...It is still one of my all time favorite songs and the only one I'll sing at karaoke! They still hit up any karaoke events they can and are always a hit with many songs, but Pepere ALWAYS sings Rose Colored Glasses to Memere wearing huge red-lensed plastic glasses and gives her a boquet of cheesy silk flowers. I aspire to be like them when I'm in my 80's!! http://youtu.be/sJ8mlC3mWW4, http://youtu.be/WO4wcNVbYOQ

Love the photo too btw!

Reminds me of the "hurricane hair" photo I took of my daughter in 2008 ... also accidental and probably non-reproducible ... a "perfect storm" ... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150987200334049&l=acaddfec91

My grandparents both loved to sing Rose Garden, they had it on a juke box in their living room where all of us would gather and sing it together, and they taught us a line dance called slappin leather (or so they called it). On their 50th anniversary, my two cousins and I (my sister was too young at the time) sang it to them at karaoke at a local pub. Still one of my all time favorite songs! Also a few years back, me and my hubby went to visit them in AZ, and they frequent a few karaoke nights out there...we went to one where my Pepere (grandpa) sings Rose coloured glasses (big funky red-lense glasses and all) to my Memere...every time. They're a hit wherever they go, even into their 80's! I aspire to be like them!

This is our family strangeness...but Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer pops out at the strangest times throughout the year and we all pitch in, singing at the top of our lungs usually, whether family dinners or public outings.

And, just to keep it geeky... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3rFNbSKpEE

Gramma used to sing this little ditty to me, and now I sing it to my kids... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAefKpDquhI

LOVE IT

New camera eh? What'dja get? :)

My grand-pere has long since passed but he always flirted with the little old ladies at church gatherings by singing "Ne vous asseyez pas sous le pommier" (Don't sit under the apple tree in French).   My grand-mere would smile at him and just shake her head at his silliness.

My dad still sings to us... even at 33, when I go to spend the night with my parents, if my dad is the one to wake us up in the morning he comes in singing any song he has in his head. All off tune. 

And when it's been a long day and we are thinking of dinner he sings this little tune: "When your hungry and your tired and your dead on your feet, you don't wanna cook, but you just got to eat.... go to (insert name of a fast food place here)"
