Crazy Week

I have spent the last four weeks running kids to swimming lessons. This week was the best by far. We had two sets of lessons at two different locations plus throw in gymnastics a movie and a grocery run. Today and Wednesday were the worst. Both days left me with just a half hour or less to complete lunch and clothes changes. Kaitlyn is done with lessons and Ash will be tomorrow! They have both done very well. Kaitlyn did awesome at the college. They taught her a ton and she was swimming around pretty good. The local pool didn't have as good of a program. I think they thought she was too young to do a lot. She did spend a ton of time in the shallow end diving for rings though. I will definitely register her with the college next year. Ashley is FINALLY swimming around and LOVING it. The trick...dollar store goggles! Who knew! The last three days she has worn them and is doing soooo much better. She swam the width of the pool twice today with just a noodle and she went off the diving board. She is also confident enough that she is swimming without the noodle too! I was so proud of her. I will admit I was worried. She just didn't seem to have the confidence to just try, now goggles. I only wish that she would have been doing this well two weeks ago. She would have gotten so much more out of the class. I am very happy how her lessons turned out. Here are a few pictures.

The water is actually the same pretty blue as the local pool.

Today we hit a movie with our awesome pass from the school. The girls loved it. This was their first movie in a theater. We have been to the drive in, but have always just used the big screen at the barn for everything else. Anyway, we had fun and Marianne watched Kami. When we were done we went for a snack. We hit the pretzel place in town (I can't remember the name). They had tons of different kinds of pretzels and fresh squeezed lemonade. Next time I will be getting the garlic parmesan. We enjoyed the pizza and the cinnamon sugar today. I love this place I think it is my new fav. The inside is decorated so cute. I will see if I can get a pict next time we are there. If you haven't been you should definitely go. I loved it! And the pretzels were good too. :)
For about the past three weeks we have had these gorgeous wildflowers lining our lane. Everytime I drove by I thought "I need to get a picture of those". Well today I finally did. I think I waited too long. They are kind of droopy now, but still beautiful. I am wondering if we can possibly line the whole driveway with them. Are they just wild daisies? Anyone know?
This has been our crazy week. I am hoping next week I can catch up on housework and laundry. I also have a ton of painting and stuff I want to get to. Also, Thursday afternoon we are going to Harry Potter! I can't wait for that, and no kids!!
