The Chatterbox Hyena Thread

At least the bubbles will blend in...

Our pool is being refurbed right now. It was only supposed to be a week, now its into 2 weeks... and when I went in there yesterday, it is STILL all torn up. I wonder when it will be done.

I cant believe Mikalah will be an Eel already. I think this is the class that will challenge her. I have seen those kids, and they are little swimmers!

Our Y closes down every year at the end of August, for about a week. This is when they refurb the pool and paint the facility and all. So they already did that at our place.

make sure you crack a window...

Hey, you're not missing out on lessons or anything, are you? That would suck!

Oh, and is Eel the 3rd preschool class? DS4 is still a Pike. Loves to be in the water, but not so keen on actually doing anything to power himself through it. NUT!

So far we missed our first week... But hey, we arent paying for them, so I dnt really mind.

Eel is the third, she blazed through the other two, but I am pretty sure she will be an eel for a while. She is my water daredevil.. and is very independent. She DOES NOT want to be held in the water. I think thats why she really wants t swim.

DS4 loved being in the water, too, so that's why I thought he was gonna tear it up once he got to this stage. Ummm... not so much.

Well... Yes, but that isnt why I had chocolate in my ear. Apparently I had some cake on my finger, and scratched my ear... Filling it with chocolate. I am SUCH a geek!
