Somebody ran a stop sign.

(toy cars scraping plastic slide)

(piano music)

- So Isaac is starting to play with the metronome now.

Do you know what's cool about the metronome?

- What?

- We can add on other instruments at the same beat.

So if you were playing at this beat,

then I could get the drums (imitates drumbeat)

and we could add other instruments on to you playing.

- That sounds awesome.

- Okay try it.

We'll do it with the drums with my mouth.

(imitates drumbeat)

(piano music)

Oh you started speeding up.

Good job.

- I bet if you go in there and play the drums

we might be able to do that.

(piano music)

(cymbals crashing)

(piano music)

- Unfortunately we had some grumpiness this morning

at our house.

Our kids are struggling with chores,

and I know that's just a hard thing

and what I know I need to do as a Mom is re-do my system,

like kind of organize things a little bit differently.

Give them a little bit more structure.

I don't know.

I'm trying to figure out how to re-do the chore system

in our home, but I don't want it to bring so much friction

every day.

I know whining and complaining,

is it just part of being a kid?

I don't know.

Anyway, Janae I got out our little play gym

for her this morning and she is loving it.

She keeps smiling and I know as soon as I

put the camera on her she's going to stop,

but it's really cute to see her enjoying it.

This play gym, every single one of our kids has used.

We got it when Isaac was a baby

and they've always enjoyed it.

And now you're ginormous.

- It's crazy to think that I was that little

and they weren't here.

To me that's so weird that they weren't here.

- [Child] Why are you doing that Mom?

- [Kendra] I'm videoing what Janae's view is.

Janae is like a magnet at our house.

Everybody wants to be with Janae.

(little boy mumbling)

Alright today we're going to do a fun activity with music

and art put together.

- I love music and art so it will be amazing.

- So notice your paper is folded in half.

Do you guys see the fold?

- Yeah.

- Yeah you could cut it in half.

- I want you guys to take a marker and draw a line

on that fold.

So what we're going to be doing is drawing

to different kinds of music.

So on one side write rock, R-O-C-K.

- [Dad] Or draw a rock.

(laughing)

- Alright everybody grab a marker or a crayon

or a colored pencil, and here's what we're going to do.

We're going to listen for two minutes to rock music

and I want you guys to draw

and you can use as many colors and things as you want

just stay on the rock side and draw to the music.

♫ I got my first real six string

♫ Bought it at the five and dime

- [Kendra] So draw to the music.

What do you feel.

- [Dad] It's like playing the drums on his paper.

♫ We know we'll never get far

♫ Oh yeah

- Okay everybody hold up your rock picture.

What did you guys think of drawing to rock music.

- [Elise] I just felt crazy.

- [Kendra] You felt crazy.

- I felt like sharp turns and stuff like that.

I was just like (imitates rock music)

and at some parts I just went--

- [Laura] And I felt like...

- [Dad] That's what she felt like.

- Alright, everybody grab a new colored pencil

and on the other side we're going to be doing

the classical music.

("Ode to Joy" by Beethoven)

- Okay how did it feel different to draw to classical?

- I just felt so smooth.

- [Kendra] Smooth.

- I felt...

- [Kendra] You still felt crazy?

- [Dad] She just always feels crazy no matter what.

- That's because you're three.

Alright well here's mine.

Okay everybody grab something to draw with.

Our next one is jazz.

Did you guys all write jazz at the top of your paper?

- [Dad] Okay here we go.

- Ready?

- [Dad] It's a commercial.

Stupid YouTube commercials.

("In the Mood" by Glenn Miller)

(marker tapping)

- What did you guys think of jazz music?

- I think it was fun and happy.

- It's very happy sounding.

- I just felt like bopping and twirling and dancing.

- I was like (humming).

- Ooh a little kicking your feet there.

- [Dad] I like your jazz logo.

- Oh yeah I put the Utah Jazz logo for writing jazz.

- I like it.

So I noticed that I felt very happy feelings

so I tried to use happy colors and boy did my body

want to dance.

- Ready for country?

("Heartland" by George Strait)

(markers tapping)

♫ Opry music on Saturday night

♫ Brings a smile to your face and a tear to your eye

- [Dad] Don't break the markers Caleb.

♫ Sing about the way a good man's

♫ Workin' 'til the daylight

- [Kendra] Tell us about your country one.

- I just felt so happy so this is the way

that I like to do happy.

I just really like country music.

- And this is what I did.

It makes me super excited.

- [Kendra] Super excited?

You like music don't you.

And Caleb you were dancing to the beat again.

You really got into it.

Alright so as we look at the differences between

our rock drawing and our classical drawing

and the jazz and the country,

you kind of feel the difference in the music.

Where are we headed?

- [All Kids] Gymnastics!

- [Kendra] Are you excited?

- Yeah!

- Don't fall out.

Buckle up, buckle up.

So on the drive over here we almost got in an accident.

I'm still feeling a little on edge from it.

What happened was somebody ran a stop sign

and pulled straight into my lane of traffic

and luckily I was able to swerve around them

and luckily there was no oncoming traffic at that point

but anyway it's just really scary.

Be careful when you're driving.

- [Woman] Good girl!

- [Kendra] Alright show me how it's done.

(upbeat music)

Nice work on the balance beam.

Do you want me to hold your hand?

- Yes.

- Okay.

(upbeat music)

So I'm sitting here doing reading lessons with Caleb

and he's wanting to snuggle a bunch

and he keeps telling me he's cold

and so anyway I get out the thermometer

to read his temperature and somebody has been playing

with our thermometer and changed it to the Celsius reading

and I don't know how to change it back.

So I can tell you that his temperature

is 37.6 degrees Celsius but I'm going to have to Google that

to figure out what that means, whether or not

he has a fever, 'cause I don't know.

- [Isaac] I know how.

- You know how to change it?

Isaac claims he knows how to fix this.

Fix it Isaac, fix it.

- Fahrenheit, now try it.

- [Kendra] You did it?

How did you do that buddy?

- [Child] You just hold it.

- You get it onto so it says F/C and then you just hold

and it gets it to Fahrenheit.

- Well apparently it's that simple.

Thank you Isaac, you're awesome.

Okay should we see if you have a fever Cubby?

By the way, Laura's feeling better

so hopefully if Caleb is not feeling good

it will be pretty quick.

99.2.

Let me try that again.

- My head hurts.

- Your head hurts?

Okay sit up tall so I can do it.

99.4.

You've got a little bit of a fever.

Are you not feeling good?

Well he's a little warm.

I don't know if 99 point whatever technically counts

as a fever or not, but it more matters to me

how he's acting.

He says his head hurts and he's cold

and he just wants to snuggle.

And if Caleb wants to take a nap, he's not feeling good.

Let's get you some rest big guy, okay?

Before he rests he wants to show you guys

how he's learning to write.

Cubby I love your handwriting.

All snuggled?

- Mm hm.

- [Kendra] Got your big blanket in there?

Got your cubbies?

I love you buddy.

- I love you too.

- Have a good nap Cubby.

Well Elise has the giggles because we are going over

a spelling list and I just asked her to spell cup.

Can you please spell cup for us?

- C-U-P.

- [Kendra] Why is that funny?

- 'Cause it says C-U-P, and if you said I, C-U-P.

- [Kendra] Oh!

(laughing)

You're a goof.

Hey do you want to tell them why you're doing

a spelling list?

- Um I'm doing a spelling list and Isaac is

because we're going to be in a competition

of spelling things.

- [Kendra] Are you excited about it?

- [Elise] Uh huh.

- [Kendra] So what do you think of the fact

that there's a spelling competition?

- I think that's pretty fun because I love spelling

and I love competitions.

- [Kendra] So do you think you're going to do pretty well?

- I think I might do pretty good.

- Well we had different plans for this afternoon

but with Caleb being sick we're definitely staying home.

Isaac put on a jacket and went outside to play basketball.

He's a die hard.

And Elise and Laura are working on pipe cleaner sculptures.

- I might just make a sculpture of me.

(laughing)

- [Kendra] I'm excited to see that.

Laura are you eating a snack while you're doing your art?

- Mm hm.

- [Kendra] What snack are you eating?

Goldfish, it's her favorite.

- Me.

- [Kendra] It's you, I love it.

- It's a portrait of me.

- [Kendra] With pipe cleaner.

- Uh huh.

- [Kendra] I see it.

Looks like you're wearing a dress.

- Yeah I like dresses.

And I'm going to church so yeah.

That's why I have a bun.

- Ooh I like the hairdo.
