4 Years, 13 Weeks.
It's been a great week. A busy week, but a great one. The kids have wrapped up their 2nd week of swim lessons, and there has been great improvement with the twins, so much so that we have decided to sign them up for another 2 week session at the end of the month, at a different facility in Altamonte Springs.
Maddy has made strides in the pool this week, as compared to last, probably because I would leave the pool right after dropping them off, hence not giving herself an excuse to get out of the pool and complain to me, like last week. So with me gone, it's forced her to stay and listen to the instructor, and gain confidence in her swimming ability. Kohl has taken to swimming like a fish, and Brae continues to strengthen her stroke fundamentals and just enjoying time in the water.
Here are the pictures:

This was actually a valid injury, as Brae had inadvertently kicked Kohl's leg while going for the ball,
unlike some of the professional soccer players who fake their injuries... |

They were really affectionate with one another for some reason.
But I wish this happened more often. *sigh* |

Calleigh and Aubs came by to do some water play on Thursday, which gave me a chance to mow the
lawn while they kept each other company. |

Quotes:
- I was doing some interior decorating in the living room:
Maddy: "Why did you move the table to the other side of the chair?"
Me: "Because I'm making room for a new pot I'm going to put right
there."
Maddy: "Oh…so you're going to make our house look pretty again?"
- Madelyn refers to a straw that doesn't work properly as a "grumpy straw."
- I was cleaning out the butler pantry closet and Maddy spied her very first bike helmet and exclaimed excitedly, "Oh! I haven't seen that new helmet in a few many years ago!!"
Have a great weekend!
