Delaney Funny

Today Delaney told me she does not like boys.  I said well do you know that daddy is a boy.  She said oh OK I Like only two boys.  I said "Who?" She said daddy and DJ Lance Rock ( from Yo Gabba Gabba).  This made me laugh.  Kids they are SO FUNNY!!

Yes you can ( A message to my daughters)

Dear Paige, Abby and DeeDee,
      There will come a time in your young lives where someone will tell you that you can not do something.  I am here to tell you, yes you can.
    
 Grandma and Grandpa were told when I was young that I had a foot problem and that I would never be a runner :  I think I completed a half marathon last May, I think that makes me a runner!
          
I was told in second grade that I could not sing and I should "mouth the words".  I think I have sang many songs that have calmed my children to sleep.  To my children I can sing

I was also told that I was not creative when I tried to make my art project just like my teachers and failed.  I have since made many scrapbooks, cards, jewelery and decorated our house and had people offer to pay me for my creativity ( that I did not have).

I was told I was so shy that I could never give a speech.  I have won two different speech contests one in Jr. high school and one is high school, I am even still surprised I could do this :)

I was also told that I would not have children.  I have three beautiful daughters that I am able to write this note to.

If you want to do it, give it a try.  Do not let anyone tell you that you can't do it.  You are the one that gets to decide what you want and do not want to do. 

You are beautiful, you are special and you will always have me cheering you on in whatever you decide to do because I believe you can and I believe you will

Love, MOM

Funnies

I need to write down some of the things the girls have done lately:

Abby opened the window the other day and played her recorder for the people who were working on the neighbors lawn because she thought they would like it

I was playing soccer with Abby tonight and I did not stop the ball the right way ( like daddy taught her) so she came over and showed me how to do it

Abby also thinks the password to our computer is her name, she knows it starts with an A and told me that the only reason they put the letter A B or Y on a keyboard are for her to spell her name :)


Paige brought a coupon to school for her teacher.  She won lunch with her teacher and he was getting Subway for them and she wanted to make sure he got the best deal.


Paige also told me that they recorded her band playing jingle bells together as a group.  She said it sounded like people moaning jingle bells on the toliet ( her words) she then said it was a good thing that they did not sound like that in "real life".

Delaney told me the other day after I got home from a run and was really tired.  "Mommy I told you not to run so fast you really need to slow down and take care of yourself"

Delaney likes to get up earlier than all of us right now and goes around singing a song " get up get up it is get up time, the sun is up ( even if it is not) and it is time to get up!!

More to come later....we have been sick here at our house lately, hoping tomorrow is a better day :)
