Karaoke Kids

The Fun Fair (originally scheduled for Feb 5th but cancelled after the roof collapsed on the warehouse holding all of the goods because of all of the snow from "Blizzard 2011" {which obviously means that we won't get another blizzard in 2011}) was held this weekend at Elisabeth's school.  It was a blast for the kids and we are now the proud owners of something called Noisy Slime that truly is as noisy and disgusting as it sounds, along with 5 Chinese Torture Devices, 3 plastic hand clappers, 2 Parachute Guys, 1 Noiseless Harmonica and 1 set of Noisemaker Plastic Lips.

All of which is sitting in my purse and the kids haven't asked for once.

(Two more days and they're going in the trash.  But don't tell the girls that.)


"Mom! My Chinese Torture Device doesn't work!"  Well, try one of the other four, sweetie. I'm sure there's at least one in there that will torture you.

In addition to winning some really, um, "great" prizes, the girls were desperate to sing Karaoke. But the question was, what song to choose? A little Black Eyed Peas? Some Selena Gomez? Some other grrovy song that I don't recognize? Nope. Not my Elisabeth.  She likes to choose the classics. 

This year (as well as last year), it was "B-I-N-G-O".  This year Sydney decided she wanted to sing too, because Miss Rabya "tings dat tong!"

They waited on stage a looooong time.  Long enough for Sydney to develop her typical stage fright (and no pun intended on this one! Ha!) and put on her "I'm not so sure about this" face.  

Elisabeth's friend Ellie went up with them.  I'm pretty sure Ellie is trying to console Sydney here.  "Don't worry Sydney! Just say B.I.N.G.O. and you'll be great!"

And then Sydney probably said back "What are you kidding me? That's a bunch of BS.  I mean, do you SEE all of the people out there? Do you?"

And then Elisabeth probably said "DAA-AAD! Sydney doesn't wanna siiiing" in the typical "tattle tale" voice that only kids know how to do.

Eventually it was their turn to jam out on stage.  And jam they did! At least 2 of the 3 did. 

Can you guess which one didn't? 

(I love that Elisabeth and Ellie had to read the words on the screen.)

Oh sweet Sydney, you are such a good sport.  I promise you can have one more Chinese Torture Device to make up for your pain and suffering, okay?
