It has been such a busy week. On Monday, we started off going to the 7:30 AM morning swim practice. How impressive that we could get all of us dressed, into the car and take the 25 minute drive to swim practice and be there ON TIME first thing on a Monday morning! I was very proud of us. We had swim meets on Tuesday and Thursday nights. I am not sure if our team won either of them yet, but all six of the Grandkids did really well in each of their races. Jade swam her first 100 IM and was SO excited as she won the heat (Which means of the 5 or so swimmers racing that particular event, she was the first to finish). To explain what an IM is for those who do not know.. The 100 IM is a 25 each of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle (in that order). The swimmers swim the length of the pool 4 times non stop. The bad news is that she was disqualified for some reason.. but that is ok, she did it and felt so good about herself! The little boys both have teeth starting to show through and both have been a little needy this week. I have been getting out more and more with just me and the kids. I took my first trip to Walmart yesterday alone with the two boys. Whew. It went pretty easy, but it is tiring. It is like a walking carnival attraction. Everyone wants to see them, ask their names, weights, age, etc. Yesterday Adam came home with a ton of blackberries. Adams Mom was coming our way to drop by a delicious BBQ Pork Roast that they made for us. While she was here she showed me how to make freezer jam. I really enjoyed making it. I love to pretend I am all Homemaker-ish. LOL!
