"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

The Maynes' Go Marching (with apostrophe errors removed :) )

I assigned Noah the task of writing the Ants Go Marching song to go with our family (now that we have 10 people).  He had been making up different versions and as we were all walking across a parking lot to Cafe Rio in Park City on the way home from the Maughan's cabin, it seemed like the perfect song for our family.  That night, Noah performed his version for me.  Here it is:

The Mayneses go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah, 
The Maynees' go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah,
The Mayneses go marching one by one,
Then Jackie stops to change his bumb, 
And we all go marching down and around the town...
boom, boom, boom

The Mayneses go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah, 
The Mayneses go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah,
The Mayneses go marching two by two,
Then Erika stops to tie her shoe,
And we all go marching down and  around the town...
\boom, boom, boom

The Mayneses go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah,
The Mayneses go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah.
The Mayneses go marching three by three,
And Noah stops to go pee,
And we all go marching down and around the town...
boom, boom, boom

The Mayneses go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah,
The Mayneses go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah.
The Mayneses go marching four by four,
And Charity stops to take a tour,
And we all go marching down and around the town...
boom, boom, boom

The Mayneses go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrah
The Mayneses go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrah
The Mayneses go marching five by five,
And Kelly stops to draw a hive,
And we all go marching down and around the town...
boom, boom, boom

The Mayneses go marching six by six, hurrah, hurrah
The Mayneses go marching six by six, hurrah, hurrah
The Mayneses go marching six by six,c

The Mayneses go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah
The Mayneses go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah
The Mayneses go marching seven by seven,
And Mom stops at 7-11,
And we all go marching down and around the town...
boom, boom, boom

The Mayneses go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah
The Mayneses go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah
The Mayneses go marching eight by eight
And Molly stopped because she ate
And we all go marching down and around the town...
boom, boom, boom

The Mayneses go marching nine by nine, hurrah, hurrah
The Mayneses go marching nine by nine, hurrah, hurrah
The Mayneses go marching nine by nine
And Bradley stops to cast a line
And we all go marching down and around the town...

The Mayneses go marching ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah
The Mayneses go marching ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah
The Mayneses go marching ten by ten

And we all go marching down and around the town...

That's cute! But this song was stuck in my head for like 2 days after the cabin. I totally blamed Noah because every time I saw him he was singing it!!
