EUREKA!
My parents are still on their trip, making their way up the California coast. Tonight they're in Eureka. Every time I hear them say that I have to start singing, a la The Backyardigans. Sing it with me....scroll down and click on track 7. Has there ever been a better kids' show? I just love the Backyardigans. I never get tired of hearing them talk and sing.
Eureka! Eureka,
When you find-a what you seek-a
Eureka, Eureka
Everybody shout
Eureka, eureka, eureka, eureka!
Eureka! Eureka,
It's a word from ancient Greek-a
Eureka, eureka
Everybody shout
Eureka!
It's the best dang word
Eureka Eureka
That we have ever heard
Eureka Eureka
When you're just about to freak-a
shout it out,
Eureka!Eureka!
It's a scientist's delight
And we do pronounce it right
when you take-a that first peek-a
shout it out, Eureka!
Eureka! Eureka,
We'll sing this song a week-a
Eureka, eureka
Everybody shout
Eureka!
Eureka! Eureka,
From the top of the highest peak-a
Eureka, eureka
Everybody shout
Eureka!
It's the perfect thing to shout
when you're diggin' treasure out
when you find-a what you seek-a
shout it out eureka
It's the word you'll hear us shriek
when we find the the bones we seek
When you take-a that first peek-a
It is time to shout Eureka!
It is time to shout Eureka!
It is time to shout Eureka!
Wonderpets is a close second. And how much do I adore hearing my husband say, "This is sewious."

On my moments home with J during this whole hospital stay, the Backyardigans and Wonder Pets are what saved my sanity. J and I would come home and cuddle on the couch and watch them together. And when asked what he wanted to get Dada as a get-well present, he insisted on Pablo. (I think he might have known that it'd end up being his.)
Ohhh, funny...something only parents would understand! After a trip to Target, Eric came home and said he overheard a dad singing, "What's it gonna take...teamwork!" And I don't know how many times after I'm up with Caden nursing, I can't get back to bed because I have one of those songs in my head...hee, hee:)
I love both those shows! :)
I live near Eureka, CA, which is a really odd coincidence since I've been a reader for a bit-I think since about the time Fireball was born. Does she need to know where the good yarn shops are??
my baby is going to kgarten in the fall, all day (!), and i'm afraid i'll be one of those pathetic moms who watch nick jr and cry!!! my personal favorite is Cast-aways, we are cast-aways...
ahoy, there ahoy, we are cast-aways..hah! now you have that one in your head too, don'tcha?
