Friday's Foto Finish Fiesta

I decided to participate in Candid Carrie's Friday Foto Finish Fiesta
for something fun and different today.
I saw that Debi over at Who Says 8 is Enough? was playing
and it looked too cute, so here we go!



Okay, so it is supposed to be one favorite foto,
but you can't get the full story with just one foto - you need the series!

These pictures were taken when Jack and Quent were 5 months old. They are being very entertained by their Daddy, my darling husband, Tom.
Now, Tom used to work for a YMCA Camp (in fact he was working there when we met, but that's a whole 'nother story) ,so Tom knows a lot of silly camp songs. He is singing and doing the hand gestures for a song called - I don't even know the name - but you may just recognize the words below if you were ever at camp or in scouts.

The boys LOVED this song when Daddy would sing it. It was so cute to see him singing and being so silly just to get his kids to laugh! Just one example of how he is a great Dad!
It was a big hit on our house for a long time!

Here's how it goes:

Mary had a little lamb,
Whose fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
She threw it out the window!
The window, the window!
The second-story window!
High low, low high
Throw it out the window!


Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Threw him out the window!
The window, the window
The second-story window!
High low, low high
Throw him out the window!

(you can add any nursery rhyme you want to it, the kids love it!)

Any friend of Deb is a friend of mine (so far anyway) ...

I love the pictures and the song and the actions and that you caught the actions with your camera and don't you think dads playing with their kids are the sexiest men ever?

Uh huh, I thought so! Anyway, thanks for playing and I am adding you to the post right now!
