Left the house at 6:45 this morning, stopped to pick Anslee up, who AK was beyond excited got to come watch her swim, then breakfast and a splash of gas...and off we went to our second USA Swimming meet.
AK started the day off perfectly by knocking two seconds off her 25y freestyle and earning her C patch!!
AK and her relay buddy (and biggest competition) Mary Helen
The breaststroke is by far the most entertaining event for our girls. AK and Mary Helen are constantly trying to beat each other, complete with friendly smack talk and intimidating jumps and 'Emily Munn arm flaps'. AK had her beat today until she started looking to see if she was ahead or not.....take a look. {click the link below}
Last week our Zumba class decided to dress 80's style and workout to all 80's songs in honor of Halloween :c) We had SO.MUCH.FUN!!!!
I think my 7th & 8th grade Home-Ec class appears to be paying off :) I've been busy with a few projects.
Made myself a purse out of an old dress
This is as close to an Alabama elephant as I am capable of. LOL! It was a bday gift.
AK requested an owl pillow
And a new school book bag
Well, I couldn't be left out of the new bag movement. :c)
And a few accessories for me
My parents came down for a quick visit over the MLK holiday. While here we played all the games AK got for Christmas, including Headbandz. It's so much fun and funny. Take a look..... (sorry Mom :) )
LOLOLOL! It really is a fun game.
Mom also helped me learn to use my new Cricut. Thank goodness, because that thing was on its way to under my car....
Here are a couple of my first projects
There's a tiny little wrinkle, but overall I'm proud
Jeff wanted his username for the AU football board on the golf cart. Won't I be cute when I'm driving the golf cart????
It was a short visit, but a good one :)
See, I did manage to update again before the month was over :) LOL!
A few weekends ago, Anna Kate went to her bff's birthday party at Fun Zone. It was AK's first time rollerskating, and I have to say, she did very well. She was VERY determined to get it, and of course, there were multiple moments of frustration, but she never gave up. I was proud of her! However, I got in some serious trouble for laughing at her....I just couldn't help it. You'll see, just watch this video...
Tell me she doesn't look just.like Tim Conway on the Carol Burnette show!!!!!!!! Skating to Michael Jackson. Bwahahaha!!!
AK's expression is priceless. She totally doesn't trust whatever Anslee is telling her. LOL!
But then she gave it a go
And gained some confidence
But she wanted a quick break, so my mom pushed her on the skooter for a bit
Aren't they cute in their laser tag gear? :)
Bumper cars!!
It was great fun!
You would think that I would learn my lesson about suggesting a home project because, I always end up being the one to complete the project.
And now....
Rest assured, I've learned my lesson ;-) LOL!
