This is what I do with my free time

Or, maybe I should say, this is what I do when I should be doing a load of laundry or cleaning the kitchen.

Clara loves to dance, and I like to edit video, so naturally I needed to make a music video. And she's been getting in an empire state of mind ahead of our trip to New York this weekend (okay, Upstate, but still..), and so we've been listening to this song a lot. I shot this video of one of our dance parties yesterday morning with my cell phone.

It's already been worth the couple hours I spent on it - watching it this afternoon got her out of a crying fit. I'll take it!

  4. That is too cute! Great song choice too. Our Meggie loves to dance. She cracks us up with her moves. Little ones busting a move is always priceless!

  6. Just a friendly reminder that lots of AAFCP peeps are eagerly awaiting the Catholic IF documentary ;) I figured since you mentioned here that you like you edit video... !

    And she is adorable :) Remember if you're ever stopping by Poughkeepsie to give me a head's up!

  7. Oh my goodness, I LOVE This for so many reasons! It is too cute and I love that daddy is in on it! I have to say, our houses would have SO much fun together if we lived closer because we have these dance sessions on a VERY regular basis, too! lol! And rap music is one of our faves!:) I wish I could edit video like you (you are SO dang talented in SO many ways) because I have MANY cute ones of them dancing:). Thanks for sharing!

  8. It also occurs to me that your video is better with a cell phone than most people's is with an actual camcorder. Is there no end to your talents?

  11. Looove this song and you should submit this as a video idea, it made me laugh so much and it's pretty darn cute. It's also cool that your husband doesn't mind being part of this video and dancing around with the kids!

  12. Love the song, love your cuties dancing, and love your editing skills! I usually only hear adult music on date nights, so that was a treat! :) The closest I have come lately is "Life is a Highway" b/c it was on Cars so I downloaded it for Charlie. He rocks out in the car, and then AJ rocks out too and the carseat is shaking (he is still rear facing) and it is hilarious. I agree, kids are so adorable dancing!
