Weekend fun

Our weekend was a lot of fun.  Friday night my husband and I had a babysitter and we went to see the new batman movie.  We really liked it, especially the fact that it wasn't as dark as the second one. 

Then Saturday morning we went swimming with the girls.  Sarah is doing so good.  Towards the end we let her take off her life jacket and she can swim.  Not long distances yet but a good distance for a 4 year old.  She learned how to tread water and she got better at floating on her back without the life jacket.  Yana also did great.  She just ran straight into the pool to the point where she couldn't tough and started swimming (she has a swimsuit life jacket on).  The girls jumped in, including Yana.  Although her jumping was more like trying to step onto the water.  It was cute.  They had a lot of fun and the water felt great.

Later we taped our garage...or at least started taping our garage.  We are painting it white.  We didn't have enough paint so when we ran out we ended our painting for the day. 

Sunday was church and it was good to be back where the children could go to nursery and primary.  In Island Park there are just too many people who stop by while on vacation to allow all of them to join the primary and nursery.  I understand and don't have a problem with it but they missed their classes.

Well that was our weekend.  It was productive and Sunday wasn't as hot as the rest of the week.  I hope that you all had a good weekend as well.

Life

Last week was a very busy and event filled week.  Sarah started swim lessons on Monday and went every day except Friday.  She loves it.

 She is also taking them this week but they end Thursday.  She loves to swim and is quite the little fish.

 Here she is swimming practicing her strokes.

 I think I mentioned a couple weeks ago that we bought a pool for out back and my girls would live in it if they could.  We had had a long day and decided to rest and let the girls play in the pool.  So Josh joined them.

 Yana loves having her picture taken and would walk around the edge and stop for her pictures.

 Sarah and Yana are just too cute not to take pictures.

 Oh how tiring it is to walk in a circle of water.  She is so silly.

 Sarah is practicing swimming under water.  She is getting pretty good at it.  She just needs to learn to hold her breath longer.

 Ok so the ball actually says not a flotation device and not to use on water.  Knowing this I waiting until Josh was home to try this.  We put Sarah in the ball and wanted her to roll it like a gerble on the wate but she wouldn't do it.  So we took it out of the pool.

Friday we started building our back fence.  My husband dug the first hole and then I dug the next.  We poured cement and then went swimming (The above pictures.)  Saturday we finished the fence.  I dug 3 more holes and helped screw in the slats.  It looks really nice but I don't have a picture right now and am too lazy to go take one.  I'll take one and share it another day.    I hope you all had a great weekend and have a wonderful week ahead.
