Saturday Sound Off

MeeMom: Another Saturday. Another Sound Off.

B Sharp: I did SOMETHING that WAS COOL. I was in BASs AND TREBle's room AND I shot the little basketBALL from FAR away and made iT iN the HOOP!

Allegro: l love my family and my parents, even when my dad stole my scooter and Mezzo stole my scooter. We were going on a walk to the school and they stole the scooter away from me and rode it down the street. Signed, Allegro.

Middle C: So today we had to get out of the house. We weren't given a lot of options so we were happy to walk to a school near our house and we raced on a track. We were all running the 50 yard dash and Doo Dad was timing us. On the last race before we left I came in second because I was slower than Bass. My best time was 7.9 seconds I was pretty fast, but my slowest time was 8.00 seconds. After, we went to our neighbor's house, The Rock Stars, because they let us watch College Football at their house because MeeMom says she won't get satellite TV and DooDad couldn't find the games on the internet. It was a lot of fun of fun for me because I ate tons of food.

MeeMom: Let me just say a word about these little foot races we had at the school. I discovered a fifty yard dash marker and thought it would be fun for the kiddos to time themselves because, if I remember correctly, I ran the 50 in 7.2 in 6th grade! I was just checking to see if my kiddos are as fast as I was. Notice the operative word is was. Because before we walked home, we had one final race that involved everyone. Yes, I thought it would be fun to see how I would fare running against all the kiddos. I should have listened to my gut because I never finished the stinkin' race. I pulled some glute muscle that rendered me a limper for the rest of today. Tomorrow's pain doesn't look too promising, either.

Staccato: I don't really want to write anything because our neighbor, Maraca, told me today that she's reading our blog. So I want to be on my best behavior.

Bass: I wish that we had Comcast, but I also like that we don’t have it. I want it so we can watch sports such as football and basketball. But I am glad we don’t have it because it is so much money to get it and pay for it every month. I like sports very much.

Treble: I so agree with Bass. I want Comcast or whatever people have these days, but we can't afford it. Today I went to the Rock Stars' house to watch college football.  They are nice to let us come. What excitement! Thanks for reading the blog!

Mezzo: There is a lot to say on this "free day" Saturday. First, what an exciting day to talk about sports. College football, that it. I always like the exciting, edge-of-the-seat last play, a field goal block, an interception or a touchdown. When we went to the school this afternoon played some basketball, rode bikes, and ran a timed 50 yard dash. My best time was 7.1 seconds. My legs start to hurt after awhile. I tried to help DooDad connect our internet box to our TV so we could watch College Football in the confines of our own family room, but it didn't work. So we went to our neighbors, The Rock Stars, and ate and watched football games. Treble and Bass are bad sportsman and have bad sportsmanship. They were cheering for the team I wanted to lose and booing for the team I wanted to win.

MeeMom: About the food at the Rock Stars' house. I am so embarrassed because it wasn't supposed to be us, Family of Eleven, going across the street to watch football and eat them out of house and home. I tried my best to make some eats to take over, but I must have been overtaken by an alien cook because nothing I made turned out. Nothing. So I went over with a bowl of sad, sticky popcorn and ranch dressing and left my excuse for breadsticks at home, cooling off in the garbage.  My kiddos owe them a HUGE thank you for the intake tonight! I'm thinking I owe them a dinner. . .

Fermata: I forgot I that I hadn't summarized what I had read this week, so I ended my Saturday doing Language Arts homework.

Coda: All the football made me grumpy and tired. I kept trying to wail my way back home, but everyone thought I was just plain cute. It finally took falling asleep on MeeMom's shoulder that got me home and to bed.

DooDad: Yo MeeMom, I ran the 50 in 6.8 in 5th grade!! And yes, we definitely owe the Rock Stars dinner!
