4/28/09: List of 8's

I was tagged by Dorene for this so I thought it might be a fun post to do.

8 Things I am Looking Forward To

1. DISNEY WORLD! 2 more weeks. Specifically all the character dining and eating at the Castle. I am a total Disney freak!
2. Evan's Fireman Sam Birthday Party. He can't wait, we are having it at the Fire Station and then back at the house.
3. Getting a call from the Company that offered me the job and then put it on hold that the job is available again and they want me to start.
4. Going to Storyland and Santa's Village
5. Going to Day Out With Thomas at Edaville Railroad
6. Lauren's mini Dance Recital for her 1/2 Ballet, 1/2 Tap class.
7. Having my great friend move back to MA from NY.
8. Sitting in Florida at night watching the Electrical Parade.
   

8 Things I Did Yesterday

1. Went to the Stone Zoo and saw many animals. The kids had so much fun.
2. Went to Music Time at night at the library.

4. Watched the Jungle Book.

7. Did the stationary bike for 45 minutes.
8. Laughed while watching 2 1/2 Men and How I Met Your Mother.
   

8 Things I Wish I Could Do

3. Work 3 days a week.
4. Go on vacation to other countries.

4/8/09: Swim Class Peek Week

It was peek week this week at swim so I was able to get up close and see how Evan is doing. I was amazed at how well he is swimming. He is down to one bubble and even swam the short length of the pool with no bubble!!!

Here he is with his class ready to jump in.
Go Evan!
