Eating raisins from England

Snacking on raisins from England after the birthday party.

Earlier this week during Oliver’s swim lessons they asked us to change our class time so that he could move up to the beginner strokes class. I wasn’t able to work my schedule around the change so they kept him in the beginner class and just worked with him on swimming.

He is AWESOME!!!

Here he is diving for rings. 9.5 feet down to the bottom of the pool and he gathered 13 this time. Smile

I know that we’ve all had a part in making him the person that he has become. His swimming instructors mentioned several times that he is the happiest kid they’ve ever worked with. Open-mouthed smile

We all know how clever he is, but he wanted to show you all how well he writes his letters. His penmanship is already better than his Mummy’s. (Somewhere around D Charlotte starts singing the alphabet from the other room. Pump up the volume and listen to her cheer for herself when she finishes... so funny)

Aaaand finally, I understand that there was some trouble viewing the video of Charlie-Belle pole dancing at the water park the other day. Sadly I wasn’t able to capture the best dance moves using the pole, but I got a few. Her brother was far to busy in the middle of all of the action for me to be able to capture him on video.

They aren't crackers, they're art.

This week in school the kids are learning about bees. Oliver made this beehive as part of his lesson. When we got home Charlotte picked it up and said, "ooooh, I love your crackers." To which Oliver replied, "thank you 'Charble' but they aren't crackers, they're art."
