I found a great Christmas present for your kids ~ as well as some great words for our scrapbooks.
The Go Fish Guys is an amazing group with a mission to create "Great music for kids that won't drive parents bonkers". You can hear some clips from their CDs here. We found these guys earlier this week, and, my kids are hooked. Their newest CD ~ Snazzy can be heard in the next town over as my kids jam down the road. The cool thing, is, I find myself singing right along with them ~ and, it is music and words that is perfect for ears of all ages!
Below, I have included the song and words to "You're a Mom" ~ You can imagine how my heart was touched to hear all 4 'jamming' and singing the words at the top of their lungs.
These words would be great along side a picture of a mom with here kids, perhaps surrounded by toys or kids. Journal how the words make you feel as a mom, or about your own mother. What special things make you know you are a mom? In what ways did your mom let you know she loved you? How has being a mother changed your life? How does the Bible help you / show you how to shape these little souls? Journal your passion for your children to take up the Bible and your desire to show its teachings in your own life.
I have the words typed out in Word and will use them on the next page with pix of me and my kids ~ with these lines highlighted! The Bible that you hold Can shape these little souls.
You also can check out 2 great videos from the Go Fish Guys: Christmas with a Capital C is cute, and It's About the Cross is powerful!
May you Moms Enjoy!! :~)
You're a Mom ~ by The Go Fish Guys
If you have a stroller
But you’re still a rock and roller
You’re a mom
If you’re tired of doing dishes
And you know who Elmo’s fish is
You’re a mom
(Chorus)
You’re the boss, the driver
The ultimate survivor
A doctor, a cooker
You’re man thinks you’re a looker
If you work all day
But you never get paid
You’re a mom
If you need a sick day
But instead you’re gonna play
You’re a mom
If your first occupation
Sounds like a sweet vacation
You’re a mom
If your living room floor
Looks like a toy store
You’re a mom
(Chorus)
You’re the boss, the driver
The ultimate survivor
A doctor, a cooker
You’re man thinks you’re a looker
If you work all day
But you never get paid
You’re a mom
If you mean the whole world
To a little boy or girl
You’re a mom
The Bible that you hold
Can shape these little souls
You’re a mom
If you have the most important job in the world
You’re a mom
I LOVE, absolutely LOVE the Go Fish Guys! We have every single one of their CDs and now their DVD. The Mom Song is awesome!
We were on vacation in Mexico and Ireland and brought the CDs with us and shared them the folks!
God bless!
