DYK Thread for
October


**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**


DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know


It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members


Below are some fun DYK blinkies--feel free to snag any if you like:

DYK Rach's soccer team won but then again she has some good players....its a u13-u16 rec team so there are some HS players


DYK Jamie's soccer team won also....she is the leading goal scorer on her team w/6-7 goals I think & is enjoying the season so much more than spring. The spring league they played in for u9 had teams that had been together a yr or so already & the travel was so much more (the drive was longer than the games); a bit much to me. Later the coach said the same thing, that it was discouraging for kids at that young age to lose by scores of 5 or 6 to 0 every wk


DYK his u9 team this yr is entered in that same league w/no better results but what can u expect when they've never played together before the current season?


DYK Jamie has been playing soccer since preschool & is one of the better players on her team...the coach asked me if she'll have to choose between soccer & lacrosse at some point & I told him I hope she continues to play both

DYK ydd just has a more competitive psyche.....she goes all out


DYK Rachel hasn't reached that stage yet & is much more passive altho she's naturally athletic


DYK will be interesting to see what Jamie's like at MS, if she's still the same & grows as tall as Rach (whose 5'4 1/2" now & still growing) she will be one heck of a competitor

DYK how is dance, cheer & school going for Alexis? Has Caleb adjusted ok to school too?


DYK yesterday was the first day of Jamie's instrumental music lessons....she's playing violin


DYK DH was a bit disturbed (he's a musician & plays guitar) since Jamie practiced a little on her own but the teacher made her play right handed


DYK she is more comfortable left handed so he wants to email the teacher that he doesn't think its a good idea to force her to learn right handed...he was a forced righty (natural lefty but back in the 60s there wasn't much in the way of desks, scissors etc for lefties)


DYK the girls have inherited his ambidextrous traits as to dominant sides - I'm a righty. Jamie writes as a lefty but plays lacrosse as a righty. Rach is the opposite, she writes righty but plays lacrosse lefty. GO FIGURE lol!!

DYK I hope no leaks for you too...we're just getting the wood damage from that palladian window leak fixed finally


DYK had someone come out to look at the molding, drywall & trim...may have to get part of the hardwood floor near the door frame replaced too


DYK inspector also found a leak near our french door near the kitchen, which explains why we had ants this past summer....also an issue w/the settling of all the fill dirt around the foundation


DYK something always going on w/the house.....

DYK ITA, the more variety of sports, the less likelihood of burnout & injury


DYK she's played basketball but thinks she stinks at it so has stopped...I've been trying to get the girls to try field hockey but they think its strange so haven't given in altho Rach said she might try next fall
