The Band Contract

So, a few days ago, I saw Jane drawing on something. When I examined it, this is what I found. I thought it was pretty great, and with the girls' permission, I'm posting it on the blog.

Here goes, (I'm keeping spelling the same)

"page 1

CONTRACT

We the White Wolves plege to play our music well to have fun. Anne one of the lead singers swears to rock out and show the world how great we are at singing. Abbey Chambers our sworn drummer swears to drum for our band to the finish. Emma Chambers one of the Lead singers swears to rock our until we end. Lucy Chambers our sworn guitar player swears to rock on for all time.

page 2
We the White Wolves promise to sing and rock our hearts out. We will write new songs all the time. We will be the best of all times."

Now for a few additional notes. First, Abbey has never played the drums, but has asked me how much money she needs to save to buy a drum set (hopefully she has more rhythm than her mom!). The girls are constantly writing new songs. Anne writes a lot of lyrics and Abbey "writes" music on the piano (nothing is actually written down, and I'm not sure that she ever duplicates, but she has fun nonetheless). The girls (cousins included) like to put on concerts for us on our kitchen floor which serves as a stage (we have a step-down living room). I have a video of the girls' first conert performing to Kelly Clarkson on my old (and broken) cell phone. If I can figure out how to get it uploaded, I'll post it.

That is so funny! I wonder who was the ringleader for this manifesto? I love the fact that they are "sworn drummer" and "sworn guitar player". Of course the two oldest are the lead singers. That is really too great, they'll get a kick out of it when they're older.
