happy birthday kansas!

....and doug
and oprah.....
must be a popular day!
(yes, our school mascot was a buffalo)
today is kansas day. for those of you that didn't grow up in small town america kansas, when you are in grade school, on this day you will:

dress up like a pioneer or indian
recite kansas poetry
churn butter
or make kansas things
or go to the museum and learn more about ks
OR
sing songs with refrains such as:
"you are my sunflower, my only sunflower, you make me haaaaappppiiiiyyyyy with skies are grey......
or "home, home on the range, where the deer and the buffalo roam"
OR
"i was bred in kansas and was born in kansas and when i get married i'll be, wed, in ks. i'm a true blue gal who promised she would wait i'm a sunflower from the sunflower state."

Uh.....you got the lyrics wrong on both of those songs.

it must have been a long time since you sang those songs, because you butchered them. if you haven't noticed, range and roam don't rhyme at all. pretty good recap of the day, though. you did forget one thing-the square dancing lessons...fun times...

yes, everyone. i havn't sang any of these since 4th grade. i think you all get the idea. we sang a bunch of songs

i'm not calling you a liar, but i'm pretty sure when we were in college we used to call people and sing those songs to them....so...you have sang them since 2005 would be more accurate.

I sang them today too. people were not impressed. it made me miss you.

I remember in addition to dressing up like pioneers, we would decorate shoe boxes and bring boxed lunches...I think my mom saved one of these such boxes...God forbid. haha. Great blog!
