Cute! Lexi was very funny - I lost both my front teeth when I was 5 & we sang that song in our Christmas concert at school. Yup, I was the coolest kid in kindergarden...and my grama even gave me a hoola hoop for Christmas. If I didn't know better I'd swear that Eli & Clay were twins seperated at birth. That was like watchin' my own kid!
LOL! What a refreshing video. To know that my kids are not the only nuts out there that act like they belong in a zoo or something is very re-assuring! I just love your kids! Merry Christmas Dawn! (Oh! I have repeatedly dropped hints for getting your book for mothers day. Do you think I will get it?)
I know you will appreciate this. When it's a normal school day it takes dynamite to get my daughter out of bed on time (6:15 am) but when it's a snow day she's up an HOUR early (5:15 am), wide awake and "can't go back to sleep!"
Oh my good gracious. that was Hilarious. our kids are a crack up. I thought only my kids were off the walls like clay. *G*. enjoy the two weeks home from school mom. ;) Jenn
OK, Dawn, now you've done it. I read your blog pretty regularly and had the volume up for the Christmas music video you posted, and now my kids are never going to leave me alone. My three-year-old daughter and son are big fans of both Lex and Clay, and they were laughing hysterically about him "falling" to the floor. My daughter also repeated (about a dozen times) that Brooklyn is "SOOOO Cute!!!" Just thought I'd share...now your kids' followers have increased by another two. :)
I love the panning across the living room. I can't do that. It would show too much clutter and dirt and stuff! Love the pictures and stockings on the wall. Love the rows of movies. Love the dead tv! Arielle lost her front bottom tooth a couple of weeks ago and now the other one is already in covering up the hole. We have 4 wiggly teeth that I would love out by this next week so she can sing the song too but I don't think it's gonna happen.
You have very talented children! Especially Brooklyn. Singing in her sleep is quite a talent!
oh. my. gosh. your kids are adorable!! lexi is so sweet and clay's laugh is utterly contagious. uh, yeah. and i love joe's ventriliquist rendition of "blue christmas". :o) how fun!!
p.s. seriously, am i really the first one to comment??? yippee!!
Lexi is quite the little singer, isn't she? A real chanteuse. I couldn't sing that song with all of my teeth intact so I'm truly impressed. And Clay may well be the next generation's Jim Carey. He has a real gift for making people laugh, and he knows it and loves doing so. Each of your children shows such brilliance and joy. Each is so comfortable in their own skin, it's obvious they know they are loved for who they are where they are. That's a great testimony to the strength and stability of their homelife. Congratualations and keep up the good work! PS - a quick comment on something someone said about Austin's essay - the question was raised re: whether he really believed what he wrote. If it were not in him he couldn't have written it in his own words, and it would have been obvious he was simply parroting things he's heard. But he didn't do thst. It was all him. He may not always act it out but how many adults do you know that 100% live up to all their aspirations? You have the greatest kids, Dawn and Joe - Kudos to the parents for shining the light in the right places at the right times in the right spirit. Go! team Meehan!!
Lexi just does not get enough face-time on Because I Said So ... and she is just charming and gorgeous!!! I LOVED her song! And of course, Clay is just darling as per usual, Brooklyn too! : )
This is where you tell me how awesome and funny I am. If you want to tell me how much I suck, you have to use my hate mail form here. http://www.becauseisaidso.com/get-in-touch/hate-mail/ Those are the rules. Oh and I moderate my comments so if your comment doesn't show up immediately, be patient, young Jedi.
That part with Brooklyn was hilarious at the end... :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a ham! I can visualize her having a very popular blog someday.

ReplyDeleteOK. I have a 3 1/2 year old boywho acts just like clay. He also thinks he's quite funny:)

ReplyDeleteThat would be the 2 kids that decided the chicken crossed the road because the bat pooped on it!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Clay is totally my son Caydon! WOW...it was like looking at my kid being crazy! Fun, Huh?

I really enjoyed that. They remind me of my siblings.

She sounds so cute with the missing tooth!
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness, I could have been watching my son there -- he does EXACTLY the same thing! Nice to know I'm not the only one with a nutty son! :-)

LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe end was my favorite!
ReplyDeleteObviously very shy and awkward around the camera, eh?
ReplyDeleteThis will be great to show to their dates one day.... LOL!
You know, Dawn... I'm watching this thinking you need another one or two kids running around your place ;) Just to fill it out a bit.
ReplyDeleteAnd was that you moving Brooklyn's lips? I LOVE how Lexi and Clay needed to get on stage to sing. You have such fun kids!
Now THAT's what I call Christmas Spirit! Thanks for the laugh!! And merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteLexi just does not get enough face-time on Because I Said So ... and she is just charming and gorgeous!!! I LOVED her song! And of course, Clay is just darling as per usual, Brooklyn too! : )
ReplyDeleteThat was fun! It is great to see other moms having fun with their kids too. Thank you!!!

i almost spit out my coffee when Lexi said "it's been so long since i could say......"
ReplyDeletei love how it's not just my kids that are bonkers.
Gives new meaing to the words "Christmas Ham."
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say, is when Brooklyn is 16 and has her first date, you have to bring out this video. It's so funny at the end!!
ReplyDeleteso shy. : )
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed those! They remind me of our sillies but Brooklyn takes first place!
