I thought it would be fun to post the activities that the girls are doing. They are having so much fun!!

Monday: Carolyn and Hannah do piano lessons
Tuesday: Katie has Joy School, Carolyn and Hannah have swim team
Wednesday: Katie has ballet, Carolyn and Hannah have swim team
Thursday: Katie has Joy school, Carolyn and Hannah once again have swim team
Friday: Carolyn and Hannah have swim team

Swim team just started last week. Before that all three girls were taking swim lessons. Piano will end when school ends because Candace is moving. We are on the hunt for a new piano teacher...for fall. Swim team goes until July. It is really fun for them. Many of their friends do it and the coaches are really funny. Hannah has a really encouraging fellow who has helped her a lot with her confidence. She has gone from being afraid of the water last summer to swimming a full lap in an olympic sized pool with only one stop!!! SHe has great form and puts her head right in the water. She is good a both freestyle and backstroke. Carolyn was already a fair to good swimmer so she is in a different group. Her coach is funny and very much like a kid. Last week he told them they had a big bowl of boogers of the back of their heads and if they didnt breath smoothly, the boogers would fall in their mouths. She laughed and laughed but you should see how carefully she was breathing. She is certainly a better swimmer than me already. I cant wait to see what the end of summer brings!!!

Piano lessons has been so great for the girls. I cant believe how good they are getting on the piano. Candace has been the best teacher in the world. I dont know how we are ever going to replace her....

Joy school is a rotating pre school that is taught by the moms. We buy a curriculum and rotate around our homes teaching about the joy of different things...like the joy of setting goals and the joy of obedience, the joy of work, the joy of spontaneous delight (silliness). It has so many fund ideas to keep kids engaged and has really been fun for my Katie. The other kids at school are so sweet so she just loves it!! And what little girl doesnt like ballet? Katie would go there every day if she could. I love the teacher and since I dont care much if she grows up to be some kind of professional, I dont care that they dont use any traditional ballet terms...she is happy and having fun and that is what it is all about!
