Family Song

So, today, my precious Hannah was reading my blog when she came flying down the stairs and said "Mommy, there's music on your blog." And I said, "yes, I know, I put it there." And she said, "you should put our family song on there". What a great suggestion. One thing you should know about our family is we LOVE to sing. Now, we aren't talented singers, we just all LOVE to sing. When our kids have friends over they laugh because someone is always singing. A few years ago one of my friends told us that they had a family chant. I thought it was so cute. They would do it and all cheer. So, we came up with a family song. Our song is to the tune of "We are the Champions" only it's "We are the Herrolds". We love to sing it, especially when there are friends in the car because it can really embarrass the girls.

This summer, when I was at camp with Hannah, I was talking with another counselor who was musing about how much her family loves to sing. And the conversation went something like this:
"We love singing so much".
"No, we love to sing".
"No, really, our family loves to sing."
"Well, do you have a family theme song?"
STUMPED HER!!! When we left town they were working on their family song!!! Every time you hear We are the Champions (and you will hear it often if you listen to Radio Disney), think of us and sing loud and proud!

Thanks to you all I was just singing our family song, "Sutton's rock", yesterday! I'll never hear "We are the Champions" again without thinking of those crazy Herrolds!!

I was just about to say that I know a family who sings a lot too.... my sister's family! Actually, it is my sister who likes to belt out an opera about just about anything.... "I am cooookinnng dinnnnnnnnnnner! It is going to be deliiiiiiiiiciousssssssssss!" It has rubbed off on her children too. I think it would be a good competition between the Suttons and Herrolds.
