At the end of our day, Aunt Talina, Aunt Star, Annie and I all gathered around my bed to say bedtime prayers with Annie before putting her to bed (although, it didn't stick, it was a good hour before she actually fell asleep). I asked, "Who's going to say prayer?" To which Annie promptly responded by bowing her head, tightly squeezing her eyes shut and rattling off, "Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day [slight pause, looks up] Oh, me!" answering my initial question, then launching right back into her prayer. It loses a lot in the translation, what with the comic timing of the actual event and all, but trust me, this was hilarious.
We had a big day, taking full advantage of the fact Talina was bumped from stand by yet again, and had the day off work because of it. Talina and Uncle Cody walked with us to the library, the store, went to lunch, played at the park and in general had a fun morning. Then later that afternoon we headed up for the "Relay for Life" event up at This is The Place Heritage Park, to support Aunt Lacy and her team's fundraising efforts. Annie fell asleep on the drive up there, and woke up as the world's grumpiest, least reasonable toddler in history. Which is saying something. Only the plethora of dogs walking around, and the giant Beezz mascot, got a smile out of her while we wandered the event. She managed to cheer up right before we left. After getting home, her Aunts and I relived a childhood favorite on YouTube. Annie thought this was the single funniest thing she's ever seen, laughing the entire time, and was singing "Put it in the bag bump bump!" under her breath while in bed for awhile (before she majorly melted down and whined and cried for the next hour.)
Did anyone else sing this while cleaning up their toys as a child? Or was that just us?

oh my gosh. I LOVE that clip!! I can't say that we sang it while picking up our toys (as we avoided that activity whenever possible) but we watched that video over and over again while Mother dearest was cleaning up after us. :) I always wished I could talk like that ranger guy- he talks like he has a grape in his mouth, or something- you know that lisp that I'm talking about?
So awesome. I'm happy to know the entire clip can be found on YouTube as well. Way to go!
I'm so glad you posted this. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of dancing to this over and over with my cousin.
FAVORITE SONG EVER!
