Having fun

This week was a very full week for our family.  Bill was on the 5pm phone duty at work, so that always adds another element to our weekly planning .. Tuesday - Religious Ed., Wednesday - Swim Lessons and Thursday - Girl Scouts.

Tuesday was also Bill's birthday so we raced home from church to pizza and cupcakes.  Wednesday on our way to swim I stopped for Ellie's first Shamrock Shake of the season!  She loves those green shakes!  And since Bill normally takes her to swim and I hadn't seen her swim in 3 weeks, I was amazed at the progress she has made.  WOW!  Swims half the length of the pool kicking, only coming up to breath once!  She's able to swim a straight line ... and oh, so due for another 'accomplishment' sticker soon ....

That brings us to Thursday.  Well yesterday afternoon it began to snow here so with all the after-school activities being cancelled we did the same with Girl Scouts.  And last night we wore our pj's inside out in hopes of a snow day today!  But ... it didn't work.  We got a couple inches and a bit of ice, but the schools remain open!

We explained that she'll have two whole days off on the weekend to get outside and enjoy the snow.  So now she decided if she could wear her boots today that would make things better.  Well of course you can - thanks for asking!   And another Friday begins ....
