"Painting the roses red......"


We're painting the roses red
We dare not stop
Or waste a drop
So let the paint be spread
We're painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red


Oh, painting the roses red
And many a tear we shed
Because we know
They'll cease to grow
In fact, they'll soon be dead
And yet we go ahead
Painting the roses red




The Queen she likes 'em red
If she saw white instead
She'd raise a fuss
And each of us
Would quickly lose his head
[Alice:Goodness!]
Since this is the part we dread
We're painting the roses red



Painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red
Don't tell the Queen what you have seen
Or say that's what we said
But we're painting the roses red
Yes, painting the roses red
Not pink
Not green
Not aquamarine
We're painting the roses red!

So...were they painting something for a purpose or was this a way to have your hands free for bit?

I did that this afternoon: volunteered to babysit the neighbor's 2 kids so they could keep Milo occupied for a while.

yes and yes (sort of). these were the panels to the spa. eli did a great job and i had to finish cora's "work"..... they had a lot of fun though.

ok, when you volunteer to take care of kids just so you can keep your kid occupied - screams YOU NEED TO BE IN IDAHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
