Swimming with daddy

Swim class

I was only able I squeeze in 2 weeks of swim lessons for everyone in between moving and all the other million things we had to do, but it's 2 weeks of pure success. 

Drama

Yet another accomplishment for K and J was their year-end production "Paradesia". Two weeks before the show their teacher approached me and asked if they had been practicing their lines. I sheepishly admitted that we haven't been practicing at all. After that we practiced several times a day. On the last class practice, their teacher again approached me and said not only did they know their lines, they knew other people's lines as well. Yay K and J !!! I am very proud of them.

The performance was awesome! Hey said their lines "loud and proud" and we had no difficulty hearing them. Not many people know the hard word that was put into it, but worked very very hard. I was grinning from ear to ear while watching. 

Again, the medal they received at the end was such a reward for them. Bravo!

Football has begun

Big M has added to Football to his sports repertoire, and so the chauffeur mom & dad has opened for the year.

After 2 1/2 hours of practice on the first day, he said it was FUN! 

Dancing princesses

So many things have happened in the last month or 2 that I am way behind in chronicling the children's lives. I don't want important things to go unnoticed one of them being the year-end dance recital.

K & J did so well. The fact that they had to sit through so many numbers and wait their turn is an accomplishment in itself. The performances were low stress (from the teachers) that I was very impressed. They were so unaffected by being on stage. 

At the end of the evening the dancers were given medals. When J saw me, she came running and said that was fun. When she saw her teacher she said she wanted to do it again next year! Well done K and J!

I can do it myself.

The other night, Little M refused help in turning his PJ top right side out. He has been doing it for 5 minutes or so before I grabbed my camera. Talk about that a stubborn monkey.

Soccer tournament

Big M played 5 games in Sunday's tournament. It was supposed to upper 80's and sunny. Instead it as in the 50s and rainy. He and Daddy were quite cold but Daddy said Big M played solidly.

There was a kid that was plowing through the others until he met up with Big M. Big M is quite immovable. He has built quite a reputation for being a sort of a line-backer among the other parents.

He has been asking to play football but with a year-long soccer it's quite hard to fit in another sport. Though we did sign him up for a 2-week long football summer camp.
