Both of my children took swimming lessons this week. I decided if we were going to get it done this summer, we'd have to do it every day for a week. The kids really enjoyed it and made great progress! Claire can swim across the deep end of the pool doing a pseudo-crawl, without freaking out (too much!!!) and Landon is jumping in and swimming back to the side of the pool all by himself. They were both quite proud of their accomplishments and so were Mommy and Daddy. Today I've been at church helping prep for upcoming Vacation Bible School next week, and Daddy and the kids (and two teenagers from church) are emptying out and tearing down our shed in the backyard. It's a long story as to why we must do this, but at least now it will be done! Looks totally different, but we'll have a little more room now! A couple childhood funnies to leave with:
* We were having a little indoor craft time this week, when Claire says "I'm going to make our family on a log." She proceeds to glue puff balls together and then glue them on a pipe cleaner. She asked me how I liked it..."It's very original, honey." Claire's response: "That's art for ya, Mommy!"
* Landon was talking to the swimming teacher one day: "We have to learn to swim now or we'll get big and then sink to the bottom." The teacher agreed. So Landon continued "And if you don't wear your swim trunks you'll sink to the bottom, too!" (I did NOT say that to him to get him to wear his trunks, even though that was a battle several times!)
