Practice Run for the Future ~ Part 1 (Swim/Dance)

Today certainly gave me a taste of what is to come.  Today's agenda:

9-10am - Hailey's Swimming Lessons
10-11am - Play time in the pool, getting ready for dance class and driving 30mins after realizing we left Hailey's dance shoes at home...:/
11-12 - Hailey's Dance Class
12-2:30 - Lunch, buying Lindsey's friend Annabelle a birthday present, change clothes, power nap
2:30-5:15 - Annabelle's Birthday Party
5:15-present - drive home, make dinner, give baths...AND I'M STILL STANDING! Well, sitting, but I'm still in the upright position, so I'm giving myself props.  And might I add that we arrived to our 1st pit stop a whoppin' 15 mins early!!  That never happens!

So in the mist of all the chaos, I was able to get a few...okay, a ton of cute pics of the girls.

Testing the waters...


Beginning to become more comfortable...


Lindsey wasn't very sure about all of this water...at first.

She finally decided to put her feet in....


Hailey's teacher helping her into the water...

Proud mommy moment...her teacher said, she was a natural!




Lindsey has a love for buckles...so glad they gave her a floaty backpack to play with to entertain while mommy was biting her fingernails!
The last activity that the class participated in I did not capture because I...as well as Hailey was in a state of shock.  Hailey was first in line and had no idea what was about to happen.  With their floats on they had to jump into the pool while holding their teachers hands(teacher were in the pool). Sure enough, Hailey went for it...not expecting to go under...but she came up without coughing! I was so proud of her!  Needless to say, that was the only jump for her...a little scary and unexpected.




After class, the girls wanted to play for a while and Lindsey turned fearless...guess who's getting swimming lessons next?!



                      And then, it was time to dance.  They are learning their recital piece...
and Hailey's front center!!

We've got alot of practicing to do...you know, in our spare time!

1st Day of Fall 2012

What can I say, other than the 1st day of fall is absolutely beautiful! (even though my girls want to watch Christmas movies today).  Hailey isn't feeling very well, but managed to play outside and enjoy the weather for a little while...and of course get a few pics of the kiddos with our glamorous glittering pumpkins...so girly! Some other accomplishments this week...Hailey read the bedtime story 2 nights ago...might have been a "Dick & Jane" book, but mommy was so proud! Lindsey has taken on "spitting" which we are trying to break!  She also gets a big kick out of putting her mouth on mine or Chris' belly and blowing, followed by, "I pooted!!"  Yep, I think she might be our tomboy...  Hailey had the best attempt at getting Lindsey to try to stop spitting by saying, "Lindsey! Stop spitting or you're going to turn into a BOY!!"  Lindsey responded, "Oh noooo!" with her hands on her cheeks and hasn't att...

"Bootyful"

Are there any words for this?  I think every mother just loves to sneak a pic at moments like these: (Sorry girls...one day you'll understand when you become a mommy!) My little monkey, Lindsey Grace(2yrs): As opposed to Hailey's bootyful pic at 7 months:                                                                        Love them!!
