Last Day of MDO for the twins…

It’s been a wonderful year for the girls at their new school.  Despite all the sickness and my issues with germs…the girls have really grown to love their school.  I enjoyed their teachers…and i’m sad that this year is over.  I’m ready for the summer…in some ways.. In other ways(entertaining 3 children for 3 months) i’m not very sure if i’m looking forward to that or not.  HA HA!  Just Kidding!  I know i will enjoy the summer with my girls…and we’ll find lots of fun things to do in and around town. 

Here are a few pics from today!

The boys really liked the hats…the girls…we’ll i think they would have liked princess tiara’s more so, than dr. Seuss hats!

Swim Lessons Day 2!

The girls are kicking booty and taking names…or maybe just swimming like they are fish in the sea!  Sam with her kick board and noodle..

Sam demonstrating how to put your head underwater…LOL!

IMG_3175

Sarah blowing bubbles with kick board and noodle.

IMG_3186

Both girls just kicking away.  P & I think the puddle jumpers really help them strengthen their LEGS…and thankfully since swimming is 90% legs…we aren’t doing bad.  Just need to work on ice cream scooping on their arms a bit!

IMG_3195

Sarah just trotting along..these girls are doing FANTASTIC!

IMG_3209

YES…that IS my 3.5 year old diving under to get the blue tennis ball..all the way to the THIRD step…CRAZY!

IMG_3211

And Sarah did it too..with a little more help!

IMG_3220

A little worn out after 30 minutes of hard work!

I think having a pool has helped them all tremendously!

IMG_3288

Love my camera…i’m sure i’ve said that before! 

IMG_3299

WHOO HOO…look at her go! 

IMG_3300

That was all for day two…i can’t even imagine what day 3 holds for us.  Then we have another week in June for more lessons…i can’t wait!  I think Ms. A is going to work on the BACK STROKE with Hannah tomorrow!  WOW…she’s going to know more than me pretty soon!

Water Day at Mothers Day Out!

A class pic before i left.  Notice S & S on the ground whining…that mommy was leaving..Ahh…memories!

IMG_3154

Here’s one pre whining…notice the little boy on the right…either they are telling a secret or he’s about to bite his friends ear.  HA!

IMG_3153

The girls LOVED these slides…the one on the left was a bigger hit…they must have went down it 10 or 15 times each!  It was so hot i wanted to crawl up on it myself…

IMG_3110

Sweet, Happy, Wet babies!

IMG_3071

Sliding…

IMG_3054

IMG_3037

I might have an Olympic swimmer on my hands…

We started swim lessons tonight.  I just can’t tell you how or why Ms. A does such a good job.  She is one AMAZING teacher…and my 3.5 year olds were totally attentive to her and did everything she said…P & I were both shocked.  They said NO a few times..but once one would do it…so would the other.  I’m one proud mama tonight…and looking forward to our second private lesson tomorrow.

Hannah blows us away every time.  I think she may decide to swim for the Coles crocs one day…i would love for her to swim…if not, there is always track and field.  She is SOO much more athletic than Paul or I…it’s so exciting!  I’ll spare you some of the less exciting pics…but by the end of our 30 minute private lesson..she was just swimming.  :>)  That’s my girl!

She started out slow with a noodle and a kick board…

 

IMG_2841

Then just a kick board…

IMG_2872

My little girls watching very attentively…taking notes i HOPE!  LOL!

IMG_2933

My almost 6 year old is one brave little girl…

IMG_2949

Have i said HOW MUCH i LOVE LOVE LOVE my new camera. 

IMG_2950

Diving down 3ft..at least to get a tennis ball..i could NOT believe she did it…a few times..and every time she went out further! 

IMG_2936

Swimming across the pool..day #1!  What will come in the next few days…i can’t even imagine! 

IMG_2979

I’ll post again tomorrow…b/c i’m sure tomorrow will be even better than today!  :>)
