My favorite character on the Street!

Okay. After reading Tina's blog (Hot Kerfuffle - check it out), I decided that I definitely needed to write a bit more about Sesame Street. As a child of the 80s, I hit Sesame Street in its prime. I LOVED Bert and Ernie, Grover and Big Bird. But my absolute favorite character was Snuffleupagus. I always hoped he would be on every single time I watched. Here are a few clips that I love!!





Who was your favorite character? I would love to know!!

Tuesday Tunes 47: 40th Anniversary

I have a lot to write about the Infusion Conference I went to, but I will save that for another blog. Hopefully when I am feeling better. Right now the couch is calling. I will heed it. I did not sleep very well last night. I am exhausted.

Since it is the Sesame Street 40th anniversary, I thought I would share a couple of videos. I grew up watching Sesame Street. My kids also love to watch it. Thanks to Sesame Street we also have TreeHouse. This wouldn't have happened if not for that first show. (I also did a paper on Sesame Street for one of my classes in University!)

The first one is "Sing". I remember watching this one time when they had a flute player on. I fell in love with that instrument. It was the reason why I wanted to play the flute in junior high, which I did. Anyway, here is a montage of celebrities singing...


The other song I wanted to share was this one that is much newer. I used it for one of my home-made picture slideshows/videos. I just think it is so sweet and makes me cry everytime I hear it.


What are some of your favorite songs from this wonderful show? I would love you to share them with me. I will also try putting up some more classic Sesame Street as the month goes on!!

Friday Fill-ins: Infusion

Well, I am off to the Infusion Conference tonight and all day tomorrow. It is to help me be a better servant in the Children's Ministries at Promiseland and in the summers when I do VBS. You can always improve, right? So, off I will go tonight.

Other than that, I still have not gotten Emma a flu shot. Hopefully they will reopen the clinics for everyone and we will all go get one together. The lines were not very long at all today, so that is great news. Hopefully it will continue that way.

Went with Jenny to the funeral yesterday. It was sad as funerals always are. It really reminds you that life is short and death is inevitable. Kinda puts things into perspective.

It's Friday!! Thank goodness!!


1. Plans and schedules are things that I LOVE. I cannot do without them. I love to be organized!

2. I'm happy when things go according to plan. I get a bit stressed out when things happen, and not in the way I had hoped. (Gee, I wonder where Aidan gets that from. LOL!!)

3. The last thing I drank was a coke. I love coke. I can't help it!

4. One of the most valuable things in my life is my family. I don't know where I would be without them. They are all precious to me and blessings from God. I hope that I convey that to them everyday!

5. I like ham and pineapple on my pizza. I don't get it on my pizza too often, though. No one else in the family really likes Hawaiian.

6. Dear November, please go by quickly so we can start decorating for Christmas. It is my favorite season, after all!! I can't wait for it to be here!!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going to a conference, tomorrow my plans include going to a conference and then picking up my parents from the airport and Sunday, I want to grocery shop, go to small group and then have a wonderful family supper!
