American Anthem for Life

I've been wandering around the Catholic Blog-o-sphere today searching for some new projects for Lent.  This year I don't have the funds to throw at ready made projects (like these stations of the cross grotto kits) but I want more than just coloring sheets or the same old thing we try to do every year.  With my little kids, certain activities just won't work.  The salt dough crown of thorns come to mind.  It just would not work as intended.  I'll try to find some books and hope I actually read them with the kids and hopefully I'll find a few projects.  Something for the older boys in particular. I don't want to just throw another book at them. Hands-on is great for them as well.  Hm, maybe in the next few days I'll come up with something.  But, back to the point here.

As I was wandering through blogland, I came upon this song and I wanted to share.  Hope you like it, too.

The Cleaning of the LEGO Area

Yes, we have a "LEGO area" in the house. It is our sad attempt to keep from stepping on these plastic toys and finding them in the mouths of small children.  The area is contained in the hall in the basement between the older boys' bedroom and the school room.  Today the older children were sent downstairs to clean this area because, well, we no longer had a rug in the hallway. We had a LEGO floor.  While they were cleaning, they were singing these two songs.  The combo just cracked me up.  Their father would be proud.
