No PBs for Hebe, but she placed in the breaststroke and she only just "aged up" so she was swimming agaianst kids two years older then her (and twice her size with boobs and make-up and everything

...these girls are just turned 13 at the very oldest ....if they must wear make-up, why has nobody told them about waterproof stuff? complete bunch of pandas by the end

)

Okay, okay, it's not really "cool", just a developmental thing, but as a first-time mommy... my one year old can now CORRECTLY brush her own hair and teeth! (of course, Mommy or Daddy helps her with her teeth, just to be sure she doesn't miss any... of the eight lol)

Darlet #2 set school records in both the 200 & 300 meter events in indoor track this season.

LabRat · 05-02-2009, 09:35 AM

SuhWeet!!! Those are very very competitive events, so rock on Darlet#2!!

dar512 · 05-19-2009, 11:27 AM

Darlet #1 just got her ACT scores - 33 overall, 33s and one 34 on the sections.

Woot!

I have no idea what those numbers mean, but since you're proud: WooHoo Darlet!!!

dar512 · 05-19-2009, 03:39 PM

Thanks QotR.

36 is max. Over 30 is considered good. She's in pretty good shape for any college she wants to apply for (and hopefully some scholarship money - crosses fingers).

I have a cute story about what my grandson told my wife the other day...

My wife told me she didn't sleep well the other night. She said she kept having dreams about Rattlesnakes and big hairy spiders. Well, my wife was watching him (he's 4) and she dozed off on the sofa. Apparently he went up to grandma and pushed on her. My wife woke up to see what it was he wanted and he spoke up and told grandma "you were sleeping." My wife told him she didn't sleep very well last night. He asked "why?" And grandma told him that she had a bad dream of "snakes and spiders."

Well, the little guy went over to his toy box and rummaged around in it for a bit. He finally said in an excited voice "found it!" He then went over to his grandma and laid a Dreamcatcher on the end table next to her and told her; "here grandma, you won't have any more bad dreams now."

Cute.

Seems like forever ago that my girls were that age.

Lil Pete was a monster fencing last weekend. That is all.

That may be all, but it's awesome.

Awww...about the dream catcher. My kids have them, and when they were little sometimes they'd have bad dreams anyway. They'd want to know why they had bad dreams despite the dream catcher, and I told them it must need to be cleaned out. So we'd go over and open the window, hold it up and both of us blow it out. Then we'd hang it up on the wall again, and the problem was solved.

Anyway...

Tomorrow is the last day of the clinic for the junior high competition cheer squad. Over 4 days, coaches and judges have been evaluating the girls, and when I pick her up at 4:00 tomorrow afternoon she will have an envelope in her hand that tells whether or not she made the team.

She already made the football sidelines squad, but this is something extra. It is a BIG deal, too.

Last year she got picked as an alternate, but this was probably because she missed two of the clinic dates due to a scheduling conflict with summer camp. She's really very good - she can do all the fancy tumbling stuff like handsprings and even a standing back tuck.

Cross your fingers for her! I'll let you know what happens.
