Here is one of the many things we did to have fun while trapped inside in this strangely FREEZING Texas weather. I love a reason to get cozy, make homemade bread, have a fire, and go nowhere! Also the perfect opportunity to learn Atlas’s favorite song on the guitar and reveal to him that I have a Rockstar Guitar (as Atlas naturally refers to it as), I can’t believe that I haven’t brought it out in so long that my own child didn’t know we owned one! (I play the acoustic everyday, just my electric has been forgotten over time…)
So, I totally don’t expect anyone besides me to watch all precious 9 minutes and 24 seconds of this, and I thought about that while editing, but really, I wanted to make sure that I was making it for me, for our memory, remembering the different aspects of playing music with my little kids, and trying to do something as ridiculous as get them to sit still and cross my fingers that they will unleash all the cuteness for the camera. So of course I had a very difficult time cutting out anything. Be happy its not the original 40 minutes that it started out as.
Pardon the head cutting offs and the un-tuned guitars. Those are results of you know, attempting to make a video with munchkins.
Outtakes at the end.
I'm so obsessed with this. Watched the whole things more than once :) But first off, what are you wearing?! Are you about to go on a bike ride? Are you about to go to middle school? WHAT? jk. Your kids make me smile. I loved so many things about this 1. Atlas mc-ing 2. Urban bawling in the background 3. Urban bawling in your arms while you play 4. Atlas's short song 5. Atlas feeling discouraged he doesn't know the words to Puff, but immediately starts back up as you continue singing 6. Urban's soft little voice...and I'm sure so many more. I just can't remember.
ReplyDeleteOk first of all, they are not bike shorts, they are spandex knee length leggings, duh. Second of all, those are my cozy knee-high socks to make up for the fact that I'm in the modd to be cozy but not in the mood to put on pants. And third of all, noone was supposed to notice how much time and thought I put into the outfits of each one of us. Notice Atlas's sport shots, stripey shirt, and purple striped socks? And Urban's Red stripe shirt with pink polka dot pants? Runway material we are!
Delete:) I'm glad you loved it so much. Just imagine Rosie in a year they can all put on a show together for us :). And she'll be the 18 month old crying in the background then ;).
SOOOO CUTE. He is fantastic! and you are as well!
ReplyDelete"It was a song. That was a short one." he strums and writes music just like me.
ReplyDeleteHaha. He cracks me up everyday with little things like that! Maybe you and him should start a band :p
DeleteOh my. This is absolutely precious. Paisley and I enjoyed the whole thing together. At one point she point to him in awe and said, "That's my best buddy". I think she's star struck. I think I am too!
ReplyDeleteWe are a HUGE music family and always play music together so I love this!!!! =-)
