just keep swimming


where on earth can you get 2 weeks of swimming lessons for $30? if your answer was, 'utah' you were correct.
lucy officially passed the crab class although she hasn't mastered:
" combining arm and leg action" (that sounds pretty important yah?) and
"open eyes under water, pick up submerged object"

so what? who cares? her teacher said she was the best listener in class. who's the happy mommy now?

and the funniest moment of swim lessons? lucy losing her grip on the wall and pulling the girl next to her under by her hair. we shouldn't have, but ty and i just watched and laughed.

right now i am currently listening to abby refuse, for the second day in a row, to take her afternoon nap. she talks, and jabs, and yells, and screeches and gets her leg stuck in the crib and yells "stug!".

this is why i am blogging right now, to hold myself back from eating our entire snack cupboard. my complete faith in motherhood is held in the tiny cradle of every afternoon nap, my peace, my solace, my sanity. when they don't nap, let's just say it's not a pretty picture.

to make sure she sleeps we rode our bikes around the block in stinkin' heat weather to wear her out. of course lucy is asleep; thank goodness for that. i'm going craaaazy.

Oh it is the WORST when they won't nap. That is my happy time and I don't know what I'd do without it. I'm sorry. Go to sleep, Abby! Your mama will be much happier if you do!

Jared is doing the same thing! He will not take his naps! Yesterday was afternoon and today was morning! WHAT THE HECK!
I will wish you luck, and hope it bounces off on us too!
Maybe it's time to cut 1 out? I don't know!

Awesome deal on swim lessons! That's funny about Lucy pulling the other girl down, I can only imagine. I agree with naps, and when Hunter doesn't take a good one...it seems to make the day long and wanting chocolate:).

YA FOR HER...THATS EXCITING. GOOD THING THE TEACHER PASSED HER OR LUCY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT IT:) SHE IS SO STINKIN SMART.

So glad Lucy enjoyed swim lessons and I'm glad her little friend survived too! :) Hope nap time gets better for you soon. I hate it when nap time isn't peaceful. The baby is getting on a schedule now, so there are times when I have no children for just a little bit and it's so nice!
