Tuesday Tidbits

--We started the girls' swim lessons today! We are doing them three afternoons a week for the next couple of weeks.

{Hadley had her lesson first, and while Shelby was waiting for her lesson to start she created her own lesson plan! Future teacher perhaps?!}

And despite all of the fake tears Hadley cried leading up to our first lesson, she did AWESOME & even said she loved it after she was done! We are using a company called Aqua Mobile that sends a swim instructor to your home pool. The thought of driving three kids to swim lessons & then changing the girls in and out of swimsuits & getting kids in and out of car seats made me want to gouge my eyes out. Having swim lessons in your own pool is seriously a dream come true--I had one kid in the water, one reading in the living room, and one upstairs napping. This is totally the way to do swim lessons in my book! Here are the three hooligans after lessons watching Sesame Street while I made dinner. I think it's safe to say Brady is a fan of Sesame Street!

--Brady may like Sesame Street, but he is NOT a fan of the water! He hates bathtime, but we thought we'd try him in the pool with us this weekend just to see how he would do. Here is how he felt about the situation:

--Hadley still loves the dirt as much as ever. She has a little crew that plays with her while they all wait for their big brothers/sisters to be dismissed from Kindergarten.

--I was upstairs one morning finishing up in the shower & came downstairs to find that this girl had set the table for us for breakfast already.

--We sure do miss Shelby while she's at Kindergarten, but I enjoy spending my days with these two crazies! And by the looks of these pictures, we spend a lot of time in the laundry room, ha! ;)

--Hadley was reading to her beloved bear while I was folding laundry in her room.

--Hadley always has to have her "babies" lined up in her bed just so for bedtime. Nevermind the fact that she barely has any room left to sleep! ;)

--Saturday morning selfie in our bed!

--We had a really fun, low-key Mother's Day weekend! We went for a short hike at Red Rock & went bowling and spent a lot of time in the pool!

 

--It's been a loooong time since the girls have listened to my audio books from my teaching days, but they've rekindled their love for them recently!

--We watched our friend Machaon for a little while on Monday morning. It's so weird to see Brady in the mix playing with them now!!

--And again with the laundry room pictures, but this kid loves the washing machine!!!!

--And one last one of Hadley & me snuggling & reading--this is what we spend most of our time doing while Shelby is at school & Brady is napping.
