Choir Concert

So in addition to the many things that Kailei does besides dance and piano and Chinese and religious education, she also likes to do choir. Her choir concert was tonight and after months of getting up early on Tuesdays she did a wonderful job. Her music teacher is amazing and I continue to be thankful for the love that she inspires of music.

Kailei-ism's

At the bookstore...

Me: "Go ahead and get a book or two."
Kailei (coming back with two hardcover books) "Okay, I found some."
Me: "Um, I prefer they be paperback since they are a little less expensive."
Kailei: "Come on Mom, these are cheaper here than in Canada."

****************

Me: "How are you doing on your AR goal?"
Kailei; "Pretty good. I just have a few more points and I've reached my goal."
Me: "So soon? That's great."
Kailei: "I know. I rock!"

****************

Me: "Whenever I see a show I always want to be on stage singing and dancing."
K: "Oh no! We've all seen you sing and and dance. Stick to being a stage hand."

****************

"A great adventure always comes with a great price."

****************

"It's time to conjure up some cray cray."

****************

"Hey Mom, I got up to page 88 in my book. Jazz hands!"

****************

"I don't speak dog. I just like to bark."

****************

Kailei: "I have a lot of tangles in my hair."
Me: "That means you need to brush it more often."
Kailei: "I did brush it."
Me: "When?"
Kailei: "Monday."

****************

Kailei to her stuffed lobster: "I promise I won't eat you, even though it's tempting."

****************

Kailei to Zeb after he guessed something about her: "Finally someone who gets me, and my freakish ways."

****************

So, Zeb is having to empty out the dream catcher for Kailei. She had a bad robot dream last night...

Conversation with Kailei...
Kailei; "'Ya know that boy that I introduced you to at the choir concert? I have a crush on him. And he likes me to. But don't worry, we aren't dating. We know we need call each other's parents to ask if we wanted to which is why we aren't. He wants to go to the School of Mines. Sounds really cool so I think I want to go there too.
Zeb: "Not sure they have dance there.
Kailei: "He is into chemistry, whatever that is."
Zeb: "Chemistry is the study of-"
Kailei: "Chemistry is love. Like you and mom.."

****************

Kailei to me about her friend..
"Me and Grace have a long history together Mom."

****************

After Kailei's choir concert tonight I told her she did a good job (which is a nice compliment in my book).
"What?!, she commented. A good job? I should get something better than that!"

****************

Kailei-ism: "When the heat comes on, I'll be KOSI 101.1! That joke never gets old."

****************
Me: "Why do I love you so much?"
Kailei: "'Cause I'm an angel."

Teenagers...

So I told my teenager that she needed to come see me face-to-face and say hi. So she sent me this from her phone...

Billy Elliot

Keara graced me with her presence and joined me in seeing the filmed theatrical production of London's Billy Elliot. We were the only ones in the theater and we had a good time. It was one of the fancy theatres where they serve you food which was a difference experience for Keara.  The show kept us out way too late on a school night but I sure love spending time with my teenager.

Kinky Boots

Saw one of my favorite shows today, Kinky Boots. Zeb went with me and we made a wonderful date out of it. I think he really enjoyed seeing it too. Of course it wasn't as good as Broadway but nothing ever is. Still glad I got to enjoy it.
