Congratulations to MCK Mama for guessing four out of the six songs correctly! Here are the snippets and the songs they were snatched from.
“I first set my eyes” and “through the streets wide and narrow”–Molly Malone
“virgin mama” and “silent night”–Silent Night.“Lift your arms up”–Blue Bowl Down, Ava’s favorite book of the past year, which I sing to her.
“come to thee”–I Need Thee Every Hour
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow”–Surely Goodness and Mercy
“in a one horse open sleigh.”–Jingle Bells
I thought that MCK Mama’s sister Hillary had won the contest and actually gave MCK Mama the prize today to give to her sister. After careful review however, it was actually MCK Mama who takes the prize (so sorry, Hilary)–and I think that makes three contests that MCK Mama has won!
Oh, and what did she win?
Lavendar blue, dilly, dilly,
Dolphins dark gray, dilly, dilly,
In the deep pool, dilly, dilly,
They dive and play.
It’s really going to start spoiling things for me if I start feeling kinda BAD that I keep winning contests. So, I will stuff that emotion down deep and, instead, accept with joy and pride this third prize (actually, if I am correct, Kieran won one contest and I won “only” two…right?).
Impressive that you blogged about our
whaledolphin of a good time this morning before me! I have already done so now, however, in a manner of speaking.We had fun today! Thanks for the invite! And cute Lavender Blue take. I haven’t had that ditty running in my head for a while. I look forward to listening to our new audiocassette.
