A little funny...
Aspen and Haven are finally having their Birthday party this weekend. We are going to go roller skating and they are going to have a sleep over. I am sure they are going to have a great time but in the mean time, I keep telling Haven and Makenna (they are currently sharing a room) that they need to get their room cleaned up. They have been working on it but it was more then a day job. LOL! Well, Makenna had been up working on her stuff and came down and said "Well, my stuff is almost done, I am working on trying on clothes and sorting them now.....but Haven, you will not open our closet and show it to anyone, it is just atrocious! You can tell my 8 year old is on a much higher reading level because she comes out with these large words all the time. I had to stop myself from laughing because she was so serious.
Sorry, it's been a while again...
I just asked a friend today if she journaled. She answered "yes" and I told her to record that. "That" being that her son gave her a baggie full of pennies for her Birthday today. I love those moments that the kids make tears come to my eyes yet I am horrible at recording them. It's just not natural to me. I will keep trying though!
I thought I would tell you all about something fun and interesting that the girls and I got to participate in yesterday. As you know I just couched GOTR and all my girls were involved also. My co-couch is my good friend Crystal and she has 3 girls, 2 of which were just involved as GOTR girls too. Well, we had been given a flyer that we could show up yesterday at 6:30 to help sing for a GOTR theme song. One of the guys whose wife is on the Kalamazoo area GOTR board is a singer on the side. He decided to write a theme song for GOTR and then he recorded it. Well, yesterday, those of us that wanted to sing, showed up at a church of their choice. We sang several small parts of the song. Some sang the high parts, some the low and some the mid-range. He then took them all, put them together and times it by 3. So instead of it sounding like the 50 people that we were, we sounded like 150. He then played it back for us. It was great! They have a friend in GR who is going to sing it and then they are going to add the choir sounding parts (us) to it. It will be out in November and he hopes to have it on line so we can download it to our MP3's and ipods! How fun is that? It is a local song right now but I really can't believe it won't spread way beyond Kalamazoo as it is an awesome song. It was such a neat experience for the girls to get to be a part of and what a fun memory!
