A New Obsession


Top Ten Signs that My Kids are Obsessed with High School Musical
(and of course High School Musical 2)

10. A new threat has emerged at our dinner time..."no more talking about High School Musical until you are done eating"
9. Makenna is spotting "Gabella"(that is how she says Gabriella) look-a-likes whenever we go out
8. I overhear Makenna chanting in a whisper "summer, summer, summer"
7. When we first brought home the soundtrack from HSM2 Brayden layed by the CD player staring at the CD and did not move a muscle until he had heard all 11 tracks. (a definite record for him)
6. Every time we get in the car, the plea from the backseat is always "high school muscial music pleeeease"
5. Makenna tells me, while eating breakfast the other day and staring off in some sort of daze, "oh Troy, he's so funny, right mom?"
4. Playdates with Brayden's friends usually turn into wild dance parties
3. At the BYU football game a couple weeks back, Brayden couldn't help but let out a cheer or two for the Wildcats---much to his dad's dismay, of course.
2. If you ask the kids, "What time is it?" you are likely to get the answer "summer time" (and of course it will be in song form)
1. Makenna was overheard telling Brayden "you are the music in me"

Too Cute, I need to check HSM out. We have yet to experience it. I think I'll go to movie store today. It sounds great.

We love High School Musical 2 too!!! I have to admit that I actually enjoy listening to it as well. I just bought the CD on Tuesday, and Katie's favorite song is Fabulous. She continual sings "I need, I need. I need, I need...." over and over again. I am a little worried about that. Ammon always wants to listen to the Batter, Batter swing song, while the rest of my boys want to listen to Troy's big solo "Bet on it". Grant has decided that he is going to be Troy for Halloween, so I found a Wildcat basketball uniform on the internet. Oh the fun!!!

I don't know what it is about HSM2. It is crazy. I thing Kevin should buy a Wildcats basketball outfit and just walk in the door one day. That would be sweet. Brayden would go wild I bet. Get your head in the game Kevin! Misty is coming out there in 2 weeks for a wedding. I told her she should check to see if she could stay with you guys but I think she wants a hotel. Something about freedom away from the kiddies or something. Anyway, totally going to come visit you guys when I come out there to interview at the U. Don't know when yet.

This has got to be one of the funniest posts I have read in a long time. I am so glad your kids love HSM because Lex is all about it. She won't sing a single word of the Primary songs for the program, but she knows these songs by heart. Ya, you know where our priorities are. Oh, want a new one to get your kids hooked on? Mika.
