I remember when my kids were young,
Max and Sammy had so much fun
Holding hands and hauling trash
Had a old gold excavator and a long long run
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a thing called the mornin' rock
While other kids were sleepin' in their beds
We were wailin' and cryin' and putting fresh band aids on our head
Laaaa la la la laaaaaa la la laaa laaaaaaa
Well mornin' rockin is something shocking
When your kids are almost still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Aw Lawdy Mama those Monday morns
When the kids built legos and loud loud horns
And the fresh brewed coffee was out of sight
Well the years went by and my kids did grow
My boys went and left us for a truck that tows
Memories of nights cryin' in their cribs
I'm still dreamin' of the primary years and what we did
But they'll never kill the thrills we had
Burnin' up pancakes in the mornin' rock
Learnin fast as the days flew fast
I really hope the morning laughs and snuggles last
laaaaa la la laaaa
Oh, the mornin' rock
etc.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

That was great Rennie! And I was just telling Dan a few hours ago I'd forgotten to make the kids green pancakes for St. Patrick's day and was "mad" at myself over it. Looks like we should have shown up at the house of Rennie this morning...
