Swimming

A few pictures from lessons today...

The littles playing rock, paper, scissors while they wait for Jack to finish his lesson.

My sweet swimmer.

Does it get any cuter than this?

This is Eli's class. He's supposed to be right in between these two. And he is. He's just sitting on the bottom of the pool. I noticed today they had an extra lifeguard in the pool today right behind Eli's class. Coincidence?

Ben swimming on his back. Great swimmer, but sinks like a rock when he tries to float. I'm sure he'll get it by the end of the week.

Today's Masterpiece

Masterpiece Monday consisted of many events, most of which were not part of the masterpiece. But the boys started swimming lessons today, and they'll have lessons every day for the next two weeks. These kids are crazy good swimmers. :)

After a quick lunch and earlier-than-normal quiet rest time, we made a newspaper fort, which actually turned out to be a pirate ship. Nevertheless, it's something they can play in for a little while and then destroy, which is always good.

One more picture...

The boys went to Chick-fil-a's Family Night last week with some friends. They left as the Tyner boys and came home as the Wolf Pack. :)

Camp Big Mama, Part 1

Packing day for Camp Big Mama also happened to be Movie Tuesday, so instead of going to the movie theater, we opted for an iTunes rental of The Princess and the Frog. (From inside the star wars tent already sporting their Braves shirts.)

We all met in Atlanta, one of our favorite meeting spots, for a Braves game, 4th of July festivities, hanging out with Aunt Polly, and of course, handing kids over. Here are a few snapshots from the Braves game.

I think if I had fabulous plans for the week, I'd not be missing them so much. But this week will be used for cleaning out closets, matching DVD's with their actual cases, cleaning the garage, and maybe a pedicure and shopping thrown in there somewhere. :)
