As you readers will find out; that I will change my music playlist quite often. Being an occasional DJ for parties for over 15 years made me that way. I love all kinds of music as you will see in my choices. It's not that I absolutely love a certain song but it maybe a song I have not heard in a while and it's got a good beat. Playing and listening to music has always been a part of my life. It always seems that whatever is going on in your life that there is a song being played on the radio that relates to that issue. Songs can turn your frown upside down or remind you of someone who has passed on. Music has help mold me into the person I am. Teaching my kids about different kinds of music is important to me also. I am blown away when Colin can pick out a Queen song on the radio without me telling him, Caden can sing "Sexy and I Know It" word for word, and Kendra wants to listen to Ray Stevens' songs. Brenda and I are always turning up the radio in the van for the kids to hear (they are tired of listening to the parents talk??). I think teaching the kids to have an open mind to music is important.
Hope you enjoy the playlists that I pick!!!

Card Shark
Friday evening, we went to our neighbors,the Belcher's, for some socializing time. The kids got to play the Wii and do what kids do best, whatever they wanted to do. The rest of us, who are too old to keep up with the kids, played cards. Now since Brenda and I only know how to play rummy; that's what we played. The surprise was that Kendra,being still new to the game, wanted to play with us also. So we dealt her in and she played like she has been doing it all month long(we taught her how to play new year's eve). She has played a few times before and has even played the game by herself taking on three hands. You could tell she was excited, getting to play with the adults, and cautious not wanting to lay down a card to be rummyed. She did very well keeping track of her own points and she even went out first a couple of round. Not bad for an amateur card shark. This was also the first time she was in a game where we kept score. I think she still ended up in last place but I don't think that will stop her from playing the next time. I think with a few more games under her belt; she will be ready to beat Grandpa Kocher or maybe even Great-Grandma Klingler. They better get ready!
BK Romp
Tonight, my little man, Caden, wanted to skate, but didn't get to. Kidzone set up a skating party for the kids and the owners of the rink forgot to show up. Caden was upset because he waited all day to go to HIS party. The other two and I were looking forward to skating also. After rushing at home to get there on time and waiting around for 20 minutes for the owners to not show up; we were all pretty bummed out. Brenda said let's take the party elsewhere. BK had the playroom and the ice cream; so it was an easy decision. We talk to a couple of other disappointed families and told them of our plan. Soon enough we had a group going . BK or Bust!! We got there and ordered ice cream and kids started utilizing the playroom. I think some kids didn't want to stop to eat ice cream. It is quite a site to watch pre-k kids struggle to climb up to the top of the slide and come down the slide like it the best thing ever and then do it again. All the kids played together well and no parents had to pull any kids aside to TALK to them. Kudos to Kidzone for working with and teaching my son and his classmates. Even though the evening did not start out like we may have planned; it still ended like we wanted it to. There's nothing like going to the BK playroom!!!
