Swimming Lessons

Today was our first day of swimming lessons! Both Shane and Jackson did pretty good. Jackson was a little afraid at first but then he got more into it; Shane was all smiles all of the time. Shane even went down the slide into the pool! I think what was more difficult was getting everyone ready for and after the swimming lesson- that took coordination and patience! Someone from work told me to be sure to bring my video camera and to take lots of photos- I just smiled thinking to myself that we'll be lucky to get through the class, forget about pictures! And I feel very proud that we did get through the class and everything that comes with it. Until next week......

Today was full of firsts- we went to Monkey Joe's for a Birthday Party and Shane really liked saying Monkey Joe? (a lot). This place is full of bouncy houses- of all shapes and sizes- there was a small area for little kids but it is really a big kid place. Well our little Shane didn't want to be a little kid any more and he followed the big kids right into the big bouncy houses! He climbed up tall steps to go sliding down in laughter and screams down BIG slides. Parents aren't allowed in the bouncy houses so in order to get Shane out we had to find someone who worked there to go in and pull him out! Shane was not happy. Jackson was also very brave in the bouncy houses but Jackson was more like- I'll go up the latter two rings and then come down but Jackson was laughing the entire day!

Daddy took both boys to Home Depot to get some things to fix the screen door. The boys have figured out how to open the door to the porch and since the screen has been ripped off then can climb right out there- its crazy! I can't even fix supper and think that they are O.K. in the play room, even more I can't even get them inside to eat supper! I get one in the house and the other takes off around the porch, pick him up and in the meantime the other one has crawled out the door! It is never dull around here. Back to sorting clothes- you boys are getting so big so fast i think we are already into 3T clothes! and I realized today that I need to buy you some play shoes that fit you. Love and Kisses- Mommy.
