Our Kids

  EL was giving DB's monster trucks swimming lessons in our family room yesterday. She would do the exact same things as her teacher. It was so cute. Guess she had been paying attention.
  DB goes to Kindy. And he seems to be fitting in quite well and enjoying it. 2 teachers came up to me this week and said what a joy he was to have in the class & how he is so creative. Yesterday, he made a stingray out of Popsicle sticks and tape. Then the other kids wanted to make them too. I am so glad they have piles of craft supplies and let the kids use as much as they want everyday. I have a hard time giving free reign with supplies.
  MA is cruising thru the swim lesson levels. She has gone from learning how to properly turn her head to take a breath to working on the butterfly stroke in less than 10 lessons. She practices in our pool & seems to truly enjoy the challenges they give her. All 3 kids are becoming so much more comfortable with the pool. EL now swims around the entire pool holding on to a noodle.
  And we can now play Duck, Duck, Goose! in Italian. I got school supplies for next year delivered to my front door this week. Ordered online, just had to select the school and grade, check a box, & done! Now I don't normally mind getting this stuff at the store but here I have no idea what most things are so it makes it much more challenging to shop for the right supplies.

 

We found some frangipanis on the way to school
