Homeschool Memoirs #9 - The Berry Family

"This week’s theme is about your family. Don’t worry. I’m not going to make you write a long essay about all the great things your family does. Just something little diddy that I know everyone will have fun with!

Watch the youtube video below and then take this song and add your own words, about your family. The end of the first three lines should rhyme. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!"

Lryics to “A Homeschool Family"

Some people say were goofy
Mysterious and spooky
Our neighbors think were kooky
A homeschool family

We drive a white Conversion
We learn about the Persians
Our six year olds a surgeon
A homeschool family.

We learn about Creation
And classic education
Were sponsoring a Haitian
A homeschool family.

(Meek)
(Unique)
(Geek)

The parents are the tutors.
We build our own computers.
We never go to Hooters
A homeschol family.

Have recess in the foyer
And then we read Tom Sawyer
Our nine year olds a lawyer
A homeschool family.

We never leave our dwelling.
Our children are excelling.
They’re champions at spelling
A homeschool family.

=============================

Now for my version! I was actually not sure about this one but then I realized I had an 1-1/2 hour drive ahead of me this afternoon. I printed out a copy of the above lyrics & worked on it while I was driving. Yeah, I know, not all that safe & I'm not sure I can read my writing, but it certainly was fun! My kids did think I was kooky & a little crazy. ;-)

The Berry Family

We have three little boys.
Our house is full of toys.
Our lives are full of joys.
We're the Berry Family.

We live a rural life.
I love being a wife.
No one plays the fife.
We're the Berry Family

We love to play with friends.
The fun never ends.
We always play pretend.
We're the Berry Family.

We've lived this life for six years.
We overcame some fears.
Our boys are always near.
We're the Berry Family.

We learn around our table.
We read about some fables
Our lives are very stable.
We're the Berry Family.

We're always on our way.
Seemingly every day.
Unsocialized - No way!
We're the Berry Family.
