Talk of the Town

I heard this song playing during Piper's brief, but strong, obsession with the Curious George movie. Jack Johnson plays all the music in the movie and it is all really cute sweet kid songs. This particular song plays during a pretty important part of the movie and when I first heard it I immediately liked the way it sounded, then I heard the words and I liked it even more. It is just so innocent and sweet and I would love to be able to raise my kids with a wonder of nature like this.

(ignore the bizarre youtube video, it's the only thing I could find with the music)



Talk of the Town lyrics
I want to be where the talk of the town
Is about last night when the sun went down
And the trees all dance
And the warm wind blows in that same old sound
And the water below gives a gift to the sky
And the clouds give back every time they cry
And make the grass grow green beneath my toes
And if the sun comes out

I'll paint a picture all about
The colors I've been dreaming of
The hours just don't seem enough
To put it all together
Maybe it's as strange as it seems

And the trouble I find is that the trouble finds me
It's a part of my mind it begins with a dream
And a feeling I get when I look and I see
That this world is a puzzle, I'll find all of the pieces
And put it all together, and then I'll rearrange it
I'll follow it forever
Always be as strange as it seems
Nobody ever told me not to try

And the water below gives a gift to the sky
And the clouds give back every time they cry
And make the grass grow green beneath my toes
And if the sun comes out
I'm going to paint a picture all about
The colors I've been dreaming of
The hours just don't seem enough
To put it all together
Always be as strange as it seems

quote

Me: Piper, tomorrow is Wednesday and that means you go to chapel at preschool and your MeMe is going to go with you!
Piper: Uh huh.
Me: Who lives in chapel? (i'm asking her this because she told us randomly over Christmas that Jesus lives in her chapel at school)
Piper: I don't know.
Me: Does Daddy live there?
Piper: No.
Me: Does MeMe live there?
Piper: No.
Me: Does Samford live there?
Piper: No.
Me: Does Jesus live there?
Piper: No, he lives in New York!

In case anyone is wondering, yes I am wondering if this will work and I'll be pregnant....approximately every 5 seconds, all day long.

quotes

Pip has been SO cute today and I had to get some of her quotes written down so I wouldn't forget this adorable stage she's at.

---------

During bath time while she was washing my arms: "Mommy, you are so cute."

During dinner time mid-bite she put her fork down and rested her chin in her hand and stared at the table. Patrick asked her what she was doing and she said "Me? Oh, I'm just thinking."

When her naptime was over I went in to get her and opened her door to see her quietly reading a book in bed. She looked up at me and said "Oh hi Mommy, come on in, I'm just reading."
