Last swim lesson...

Tonight was the girls last swim class of the session.  This is the best one in Isabella's opinion because they get to go in the BOAT!  She has been begging to go in it since we started going back to the Y to swim this winter.  The last lesson of the session is always "boat safety" class.  They go over how to use a life jacket, talk about boat safety and then they get to get in the boat!  Fun Fun!  We went to class a little early today so that Cesar could swim with the girls a little, so I got some shots of that and the boat safety class!
*Cesar dressed the girls so they are wearing the wrong colors...which was very confusing for the instructor.  Leah is in pink, Bella is in blue!

This cracks me up because this is Isabella's angry face...she was trying to push Leah off of Cesar

Family Fun Day

Yesterday, after church and a short nap, we headed up to Liberty Mountain so the girls could do some snow tubing.  They loved the whole experience.  The actual hill that they let the little the 2-5 year olds tube on was pretty boring, but they loved everything about the day, so it didn't matter.  We had to take a shuttle to get the place for tubing and I think that was probably their favorite part of the day!

Report cards

This was the week of "report cards" for the girls. Wednesday night they got a report card from their swim instructor basically showing that they can move up to the next level. Then I had my first parent teacher conference on Thursday...totally different experience being on this side of it!! They got all positive comments (with a note that they sometimes need reminders to sit still during circle time...but that is not a surprise...they love to move!)...and most important to me she kept emphasizing how polite they are and how they always say please and thank you...phew....this is the number one thing I try to instill in them and it is good to know they do it when I am not around :)  So, since this is my electronic baby book, here are pics of the report cards...



She said that all the checks mean that the child is "age appropriate" and the check plus means they are a little beyond what would be expected of a kid their age.
