Light Monday Humor

I was dropping by a few of the blogs I frequent and came across this on Lowell and Julie's blog.



From Reader's Digest



Some famous Christmas carols, as heard by kids:



"On the first day of Christmas, my tulip gave to me..."
"He's making a list, chicken and rice..."
"Noel, Noel, Barney's the king of Israel..."
"In the meadow we can build a snowman, and pretend that he is sparse and brown..."
"Oh, what fun it is to ride with one horse, soap and hey..."

Then I realized that I don't really know the words to one of the carols



'In the meadow we can build a snowman,'...Then what?



Please leave a comment if you can help me out.



Put up the Christmas lights yesterday.  What was suppose to be a quick job took us all day.  We were outside 7 hours and made frequent trips to the hardware store. 



Lesson Learned:  Do not by cheap lights from Walmart, when only half of the string will light up you will spend hours trying to fix it, get fed up, and end up buying different lights at the Hardware store.



Oh well, we had a lot of fun and got lots of fresh air. Here is a picture of Murray PRETENDING he is falling off the ladder while putting up the lights.

    In the meadow we can build a snowman, then pretend that he is PARSON BROWN, he'll say, "are ya married?" we'll say, "no man, but you can do the job when you're in town"...
    I still think they're weird lyrics though:)
