My Favorite Thigs

One of the great things about being a Grandfather is all of the opportunities that you have for those perfect life moments. Where you could live forever. A special place that hope to keep alive in your heart always. There are so many very simple joys that are perfect. Today while trying to cheer up a sick Catcher, as well as Louisiana,we did one of their favorite things which is to sing along (youtube) to the Sound of Music songs. It is Catcher's favorite (yes even above Star Wars). It was one of those perfect moments, although brief due to his being so tired but wonderfully cuddly. As we sang "A few of my favorite things" we started to discuss our favorite things, perfect moments in my life, so I decided to list just a few of them to the music and we had a great time singing my words to the tune. I want to publish my extensive list of Perfect Moments in a latter post but for now, here are words toh that great tune.
cute runny noses Hope playing babies
LuLu’s soft smiles And just acting so crazy
little girl poses boys hiking in Spring
these are a few of my favorite things

fun Catchy sayings conversing with Ellie
Grace reading books Or tickling soft bellies
dressing in style And song singing silly’s
these are a few of my favorite things

when the dog pees
when the crabbiess sting
when I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad

Luke playing round balls And girls in hip dresses
board gaming Nate Or cleaning up messes
Jake taking photos And acting like kings
these are a few of my favorite things

needing their Grammy Or calling me Pa
questions from Jake about things that we saw
Telling fun stories that don't mean a thing
these are a few of my favorite things

when the dog pees
when the crabbies sting
when I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad

jokes made for laughing And holding kids tightly
making up rhymes And moonbeams nightly
Christmas light viewing guitar playing strings
these are a few of my favorite things

girls with their dollies boys playing guys
bundles of snuggles And little bright eyes
napping with Papa or pushing the swing
these are a few of my favorite things


when the dog pees
when the crabbies sting
when I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad
