We've got good girls!

With the complaining moments, there are also good ones.
We get programming a day later than in the states. So, last night (Tues) the states got part one of the American Idol Finale. Tonight (Wed) we get to see it. The problem is tonight we have activity days for the girls. For those that don't know what activity days is, it's for the girls ages 8-11 in our church. They get to learn about all sorts of fun things that will prepare them for young women's when they turn 12. They also learn to set goals both long and short term.
Ok, back to the subject...I do NOT want to miss American idol. We get home at 8:30, American idol will have 30 minutes left of the show. The girls were also very excited to see how David Archuleta performs. So, I suggested that we just stay home from Activity Day's so we can watch idol. I was SURE in my mind they'd go for the "cool" idea. All 3 of them yelled NO!!! We want to to go Activity Days!!!!I couldn't persuade them otherwise because I knew in my heart it was the right choice. But Darnit, I wanted to sit at home on my duff and watch idol.
So, I just have to say publicly that even though we have not soo great moments here, I'm proud of the girls they are becoming. I guess that also means that we're doing something right as parents for them to chose a church activity over popcorn and idol. :-)
