Busy Sunday Afternoon

So I think I will start with positive reinforcements... just cause

1. Dishes
2. Took the kids swimming
3. Did laundry
4. Slept in this morning
5. Played with the baby
6. Currently reading to my daughter for bedtime... sigh (big blue eyes are just too much sometimes)
7. Had playdates for both the kids (they happened spur of the moment but whatever I was able to go with the flow for once)

So I have been fighting off a cold all week and therefore did not go swimming on Tuesday as I already blogged. Which means that I am feeling the lack of exercise and desperately wanted to go swimming today. I left Eyes at home with Hubby simply because it was easier on me and he said he would get things ready for tonight. We were supposed to be doing D n D but three people have bailed on us. Oh well at least Bear and Smiles enjoyed themselves at the pool.

I also signed them up for swimming lessons starting next Saturday which will cut into my cloaking time at my parents place but since I don't usually get out there til 3pm it should be alright. The swim lessons are over at noon. Today Bear was absolutely bent on going down the big slide at the pool and so talked to the lifeguard to see what he would have to do. He got a lifejacket on and after swimming the laps that the lifeguard said he had to he was off to the slide. He also loved jumping off the diving board. I was worried at first but I think I am getting better about letting go of control. After all he does walk home by himself from school now. Okay he walks with a friend but still he is walking without a parental overwatch!

Okay here's the bad poetry for the day...

Uninspired am I
Nothing catches my eye
Puzzles are fun
