This post might seem a little random. It's just a few of the things I've enjoyed and found helpful lately.
I loved THIS POST and THIS POST from Simple Mom. Such super ideas!
I also really enjoyed THIS POST from Chocolate On My Cranium.
You Can't Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd! This is such a great song by Roger Miller. We all love it. Thanks Jane and Jocie! I tried adding a youtube video of this song, but it kept popping up little ads and I don't want ads, so here are the words. I highly recommend listening to the song if you can find it.
Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
But you can be happy if you've a mind to
Ya can't take a shower in a parakeet cage
Ya can't take a shower in a parakeet cage
Ya can't take a shower in a parakeet cage
But you can be happy if you've a mind to
All ya gotta do is put your mind to it
Knuckle down, buckle down, do it, do it, do it
Well, ya can't go a-swimmin' in a baseball pool
Ya can't go swimmin' in a baseball pool
Ya can't go swimmin' in a baseball pool
But you can be happy if you've a mind to
Ya can't change film with a kid on your back
Ya can't change film with a kid on your back
Ya can't change film with a kid on your back
But you can be happy if you've a mind to
Ya can't drive around with a tiger in your car
Ya can't drive around with a tiger in your car
Ya can't drive around with a tiger in your car
But you can be happy if you've a mind to
All ya gotta do is put your mind to it
Knuckle down, buckle down do it, do it, do it
Well, ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
But you can be happy if you've a mind to
Ya can't go fishin' in a watermelon patch
Ya can't go fishin' in a watermelon patch
Ya can't go fishin' in a watermelon patch
But you can be happy if you've a mind to
Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
SPOKEN: "Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd"
I recently read "Yearning for the Living God" by F. Enzio Busche. It is wonderful! I get to go to Book Club tonight to discuss it. It is a compilation of experiences from Elder Bushe's life, beginning when he was born in Germany just 3 years before Hitler came into power. He grew up in Nazi Germany and was even drafted into the German Army just before the end of WWII. He has had quite a life and experienced amazing miracles and blessings. I really enjoyed reading this book!

I'm so glad that you enjoy Roger Miller. You'll have to find his entire greatest hits. We just copied our favorites. Did you know he wrote the music for "Big River"?I was just barely out of high school when he died. He was only 56years old. I cried and cried. So glad to know that your children will carry on our family's love for him!
I remember hearing that song a LONG time ago on the way home from church. I thought it was a little funny at the time because the only part I really heard was that you con't roller skate in a buffalo herd. A few years later after never hearing it again- I had decided that I dreamed it.
We LOVE Roger Miller!! He did the songs for the animated Robin Hood. Our favorite is Do Whacka Do.
I have had that very song in my head of and on recently. I evan sang it for my kids and they thought I was making it up. It was on a record we used to to listen too when I was little. Now I do need to fing it to play for my kids.
