out of sync

a few weeks ago, i informed the kids that it was their aunt leslie's birthday. they understood that they wouldn't be seeing her to help her celebrate, since she lives on another planet in california. the next best thing? serenading her in a VIDEO, of course.

in the time it took me to get out the camera, they were ready to roll. they had positioned themselves in their play kitchen, had located the toy ice cream and toy cupcakes, and liam had donned his apron (incidentally, a christmas gift from the birthday girl herself). they had taken care of every detail without any parental input -- down to the blowing out of the non-existent candles at the end of the song.

the only thing they forgot was any sense of unison.
