Pretty Things

We have had a week of nice weather which means spending our entire day outside. I do believe the same will be on tap for this week but that is fine. It's lovely to have the kids friends over and let them play while the mom's sit around and chat.

Swimming Lessons are going well, Preston has a great teacher that is really focused on helping him with his weak spots (straight leg kicking and ALWAYS closing his mouth when going under). Maren loves her teacher and he has done a great job just helping her perfect what she already knows.

I'm excited for fall/winter and for snow/ice so we can work on ice skating with the kids. We have a pond right in the backyard (basically) so it will make it easy to get them started. They are adding another sheet of ice to our community center also so I expect for kid ice time in addition to more hockey time for the schools.

GR has been in Vegas since Thursday with friends and since I still see money coming out of the checking account I'm assuming he isn't exactly winning! But I'm sure he is having a good time, I expect him to come back with a wicked sunburn since he doesn't use sunscreen and its been 110+.

Potty Training and Maren are going much better this weak, accidents are few and far between. She is also starting to enjoy dress up with jewelry, clothes and props. Preston is really starting to open up and voice his mind and opinion, he went through a phase of "going with the flow" which is a good attitude has long as the flow isn't kicking your butt!

Anway, both of my kids are up way to early for playing all day yesterday and going to bed late so I imagine a fun day here!
