Easter....in September.

The other day girls were begging Eli and I to take them swimming. Its been really nice so after school one day we decided to go. Its been really fun. I really wish I had an underwater camera to show the gist of it. Elle will only wear her goggles around her neck and then pull the eye pieces up to eyes and go under. We've tried everything to get her to ear them right. Blynn's goggles are the kind that cover the nose too. So the other day Elle was wearing Blynns goggles and wanted Eli to go under so she could wave...etc... Eli comes up busting a gut. He said it was a hoot to watch her goggles fill up with water. You know, like on the cartoons where it starts at the bottom and fills up to the top? Its pretty comical. We all had a good laugh!

Elle is still bored like crazy during the day while Blynn is at school. She will make up her list of fun things to do. Want to know what she had to do on todays list? Color Easter eggs. Yep. She saw a picture of her dying easter eggs last year and wanted to do it. So Eli took her to the store and bought some eggs and when Blynn got home away they colored!! Now they are hiding them.... too funny!

Blynn still likes school. She has got several "caught me" cards. Its when the teacher see's them doing something nice or helpful. Then she brings them home and we "praise" her for during so well! :) She loves it. She has done really well on her spelling words every week. I've noticed a big difference in her reading. She struggles sometimes, and is ready to give up. Thats where my patience plays a huge part. As long as I talk it through, and be all calm-like, she won't give up. :) sigh. Some days I really struggle. :)

*on a side note, we had another check up yesterday and everything looks good! Less than 7 weeks left!
