I don’t do this very often, but…. “HOMEWORK”
They did this all on their own, I swear. I don’t normally post videos but, honestly, how could I not share this message with the world? (Please ignore my messy bedroom.)

How cute are those girls!!!
She’s got quite the knack for rhyming – and that’s one of my specialities, so like, I’m an expert.
BTW, your room looks clean, compared to mine – where does all the stuff come from?

As a Canadian, I offer to take up the petition to have our national anthem changed to this song.
But only if your girls sing it.
Awesome.

Okay THAT… THAT was a total “life is beautiful” moment. And you know what one of my favorite parts is? Those little girls? Aren’t on drugs. And they’re not drunk — or even tipsy. And yet, they can sing and dance and totally WORK IT, in broad daylight, with nary a hesitation. Zero hesitation from the youngest, slight hesitation from the eldest.
Too bad we get old, huh? And lose that — whatever that thing is called that your girls were displaying on the video. Innocence? Joy? Confidence? Fun? Just plain mojo, when you get right down to it — if you don’t mind me saying so.
I think, every once in awhile, I’m going to act exactly like your daughters. Because, I think, every once in awhile, I remeber what it was like.
And it’s still fun.

I love this! And uhm, I don’t normally tell people this but I was born and raised in Alabama and heard that song every day of my life for 23 years. Your girls version is so much better! Lynrd Skynrd would be proud!

It is sooo sweet home Canada. I love where I live.
I have to admit I almost never look at people’s videos online, but I looked and this was ridiculously cute! I especially liked the rock star hands at the end. That’s what she was doing, right? Loved that.
