Swimming Lessons Are OVER!

Picture this...5:00 in the afternoon. 90 plus degrees outside. Three kids. 2 different swim times. 1 hour. 1 naughty toddler who can't get in the pool. 2 weeks. Every day. No help.
Does this sound fun?

I didn't think so!
Yet, somehow, we made it through it. All three kids made it through swimming lessons. They actually ended last Thursday, but it has taken me this long to recover enough to type about it.

I had to post this picture first because I was completely forbidden to take it -- and then expressly forbidden,upon pain of death, to ever post it on my blog. I can't help it if Breje is so darn cute, even if she was thoroughly irritated at me for putting her in swimming lessons. (apparently she is way to grown up for this!)Trayson looks a bit funky in this one, but this is him showing me how good he is getting at "breathing". Can you tell by this pic which one of my children was most excited about lessons? Kutter didn't stop grinning the entire time! I should've taken a picture of Brielle, but her time was spent in such wanton destruction that I'm afraid the footage would be unsuitable for all audiences! She was getting seriously good at begging other people for food, toys, attention, etc and finding numerous ways to distract me so that she could try and sneak into the pool.
I sure hope they got the hang of this, because I'm not sure I can do it all again next year!
