Erin loves musical instruments and we have a pretty well stocked box. Here’s seven we have, and one that I’m going to add soon.

Maracas

We have a kid-sized wooden pair.

Castanets

Erin hasn’t quite figured these out yet, but I’m sure when she does, we’ll have hours of noisy fun!

Tambourine

Drum

This drum looks sooo much more fun than ours!

Bells

These remind me of the bells we used in the nativity play to symbolize the reindeer.

Rattles

These have a variety of bead type fillings.

Piano

And we’d like to add a recorder next!

Of course you don’t need to buy your musical instruments, make them instead.

I don’t usually do memes, mainly because I rarely get tagged (all say ahhhh), but my friend Megin has tagged me and I thought it would be a good departure from my bumper book review.

Instructions: List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what they are. They must be songs you are presently enjoying. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.

1. Grace Kelly – Mika

2. Patience – Take That

3. Tiny Dancer – Elton John

4. New Shoes – Paulo Nutini

5. Alfie – Lily Allen

6. These Arms of Mine – Dirty Dancing Soundtrack

7. How to Save a Life – The Fray

And tag 7 people…. Glennia, Trent, Michelle, Hsien, Ben, Leslie and Asha
