It’s been awhile since I posted a weekly list. I have a couple of things to say (that are completely unrelated to one another) and I figured I could throw them all together in a hodge-podge post. Ready?
1. We are still soaking up summer. As much as I am ready for fall and cooler weather, I will really miss spending Saturday afternoons like this. Even when the girls aren’t swimming, we’re eating popsicles and reading Junie B. Jones poolside.
2. Dance is back in full swing. Today is the girls’ third lesson this season and they are having so much fun. They moved up this year and are thrilled to be out of the “baby” class. They even learned a few hip hop moves last week and were eager to give us a preview (pictured left to right: Natalie, Kynnedi, Ella & Campbell).
3. If you read from Google Reader you may not have noticed that I gave my little blog a visual update a few weeks ago. It is essentially laid out the same, but I updated the color scheme and tweaked the layout a bit. I am officially taking blog customers now, but I work around my littles’ schedule, so the return time is approximately 2 weeks. Be sure to click on the “meet the family” tab at the top… it’s my favorite addition.
4. THIS is what my dog acts like when we take her swimming. When we turn on my parents’ street, she starts getting ancy. When she can see the driveway she starts to whine. When we turn in she goes ballistic. Ella thinks this is the funniest thing ever… I’m not sure why we waited so long to get it on video.
5. We’ve been known to do a little song and dance while cleaning house or cooking dinner. Ella took this one to a whole new level. I could barely cook her hamburger steak for peeking in on her. The longer I watched, the sillier she got.
6. A few weeks ago we went to a birthday party at the McWane Science Center and they had a pool of sharks and stingrays that you could touch! I surprised myself by giving them a rub, but that wasn’t the most impressive moment. My ridiculously nervous little scaredy cat touched the shark TWICE and was beyond proud of herself.
7. This little mermaid had the best birthday party last Saturday afternoon. There are so many pictures, inspiration and tutorials that I want to share. I’m declaring next week Birthdaypalooza, so be sure to check back for all the juicy details.
8. Guess where I’m headed on Saturday?
