The World Will Know

It has happened.  A new obsession has taken hold of the Iverson household, and it has taken hold something fierce.  We have put presidents, apostles, and Star Wars on the back burner in favor of a newer, bolder, more dramatic passion:

NEWSIES!

This one has become the life and breath of not one, not two, but all three Iverson boys.  They live for the chance to watch the full-length movie.  They request to hear the soundtrack every time they see a CD player.  And even if Mom and Dad choose to listen to another album, they sing Newsies anyway, and they sing it louder.  They practice singing different lines together, taking turns being David, Jack, and Crutchie.  They are mastering the New York accent and are working on achieving the delicate balance of toughness mixed with choreography.  They are trying out different versions of the charming Jack Kelly smile.

With no further ado, I bring you the all-new

Oh. My. Goodness. Your youngest saying "You smell foul!" is the funniest thing ever. I have every lyric memorized too so I got such a kick out of this! Your boys are TO DIE FOR!

That is so cute! I need to watch Newsies, I haven't seen it in ages, your boys have got it down.

Denise said...

How cute are they? Seriously, adorable! I've been trying to convert my boys to be Newsies fans but no such luck yet. Maybe showing them your video will help! ;)

Ha ha! This made me laugh! They all did a great job but I really enjoyed watching Sam, what a cutie.

This is so awesome! There are still boxes in the corner but they know all the words to Newsies. I'm glad you have your priorities straight. They just need to practice their bell kicks!

I literally spent my childhood doing this same thing with my sister (I think ours was called "the off-key version" :). My favorite might be Henry imitating Sarah's voice: "Think about seizing the day!"

So adorable!

OH man! I'm DYING! Laughing out loud. I don't know why stuff like this surprises me...of COURSE your boys are singing and choreographing. I think my favorite parts are the simultaneous declarations of "YES!" and "NO!" and Sam's dancing in the first scene where he just runs back and forth. This makes me want to have kids SO BAD!
