Rockin'

We have these built-in bookshelves in our living room that don't have any shelves. (You know, the cobbler's children have no shoes, or something like that.) Anyway, that makes them basically large cut-outs on either side of the fireplace. My naturally performing children have discovered these make great stages, and they take turns doing sets for the rest of us-- belting out Journey and Adele and Christmas carols and the "Little Einsteins" theme song. At one point tonight, Elisabeth stopped singing long enough to yell, "Hey, you guys in the audience: Either get up and dance or GET OUT!" I'm pretty sure I've actually heard rinky-dink frontmen at our local establishments issue the very same battle cry.
