Choir Star

This morning I was driving the kids to school because Ashley has to be there at 8am for honor choir practice.  She is very proud, as this was something she had to practice for, try out, and be selected.  To be honest, we were a little surprised as we apparently have not recognized her singing talent.  Or maybe we were on to something...

Ash "I really like choir."
Jen:  "That's great.  I am really proud of you.  Are you excited about your upcoming concert?"
Ash: "Yes, but.  Well...I am the worst singer in the whole group.  I mean some of the kids are really good.  Like so good they sound like the old ladies at church singing!"

Awesome.

Drive-Thru Drama

Yesterday after two soccer games, one VERY large tantrum, and a trip to the pumpkin patch, we stopped at Wendy's drive-thru in Ross for FOUR kids meals. As I rolled thru, the kid at the window says, "Wow lady, that's ALOT of kids meals." I answered, "Yep, its ALOT of kids." Obviously he didn't have any or I wouldn't have received FOUR different prizes.

TJ received a book, which was not nearly as cool as the mini pop-a-shot that Laney got.  However, she was not trading with anyone unless she could have Adam's trivia book that came with some laser thing (that was the most annoying toy EVER).  And Ashley was perfectly content to not allow the trade that would end all trades by contending that she really did, in fact, love the plastic robot she received that Adam coveted.  That was a long ride home.
