Swimming Lessons

Yesterday was the first day of the swim lessons for the kids!!!  Unfortunately that means getting up an hour earlier than normal to get them to the babysitter by 8am so she can transport the bunch to their lessons in Kearns.   Ouch....  Jr was so excited in the morning he was running around in his swim suit and screaming "I'm going SWIMMING!!" Katie was none to excited about getting up an hour early (that's my girl) but eventually was in her suit and ready to roll.  By some miracle we did make it out of the house on time (yippee one day down).

Jr was a bit confused as to why we ended up at the baby sitter's house instead of the pool, but calmed down once he saw all his buddies in their swim suits loading into the car. From further reports from Julie and my mom, Jr loved his teacher and loved the class.  He even managed to con the teacher into two more times floating on his back around the pool AFTER the lesson was over.

Thunder Storm

Last night was the first night I have seen my kids in the past 5 days. Jr was so worn out from playing at Uncle Mike's house that he was asleep before I could even lay down with him. The thunder and lightning woke him up around 3am.  He came up to sleep with me as he was scared.  He has the uncanny ability to wake up 2 minutes before the alarm goes off....He woke up asking for chocolate milk and as I was getting him a fresh cup...my alarm went off.  I have been using my phone alarm lately but it sounds like crickets.  Standing in the kitchen half awake I hear a panic cry from Jr.  "Mom, Mom...there is bugs in your bed!!!!"

Needless to say he was WIDE awake after that!!!!
