The kids had their usual swim lessons today, but we also went to a pool party that my twins club sponsored.
They had a blast!

Makes My Thursday: Music Lessons!
Posted on March 17, 2011 by Nancy
Maggie’s lesson made my Monday…Burke was just as excited for his first lesson today 🙂 And he wants to go back tomorrow! LOL!
Mrs. Piano was quite impressed – Burke even earned a sticker for learning his first song! 🙂

I came downstairs for a break today (in a quiet house – all 3 kids AND the dog were outside with Nanny C. Yeah Spring!) and saw the following:

Makes My Monday: Music Lessons!
Posted on March 14, 2011 by Nancy
I *SO* wish I’d taken a picture…but of course, I didn’t.
Maggie got all dressed up in her fancy clothes for her very first piano lesson today. She was so excited she could hardly contain herself 🙂
Her new piano teacher lives two houses down, so we walked down (well, Maggie skipped) and got right to it. Mrs. Piano was VERY patient with Maggie…who would sometimes listen, but mostly wanted to “play” what she thought was a super groovy tune.
Mrs. Piano thinks Maggie might be a little bit too young, but she’s going to see how it goes since Maggie’s so excited about the whole thing.
Burke starts his lessons on Thursday. I think he’s just as excited 🙂

Dang Dog – 1 Week Later
Posted on March 11, 2011 by Nancy
Higgins ran into my shin – running at top speed after the cat – one week ago. I still have a bruise on my shin, but the blood is pooling at my ankle…where he didn’t even touch!
And yes, I bruise easily.

Sick – AGAIN!
Posted on March 8, 2011 by Nancy
Logan’s preschool called this morning so I’d come pick him up early…they were sure he was going to be sick (he made it all the way home and through a short nap before he actually was). Poor guy. I noticed he was shaking when I dropped him off – and even mentioned something to Mrs. Teacher…but we all dismissed it as the room being cold. Ooops.
About 3 hours later I get a call from Maggie’s teacher. She was "okay – but just not herself." Didn’t eat much lunch and was just sitting on the bean bag chair by Mrs. Teacher’s desk. So, I went to pick her (and Burke) up so she wouldn’t have the 45 minute bus ride.
And Nanny C. is out sick today as well…
How much you wanna bet that Burke is out tomorrow..?

Dang Dog – Update
Posted on March 6, 2011 by Nancy
Have you ever had a bruise on your leg that was so bad that all the blood that blossomed under your skin at that point eventually ran down your leg (still under the skin) and pooled at your ankle (still under the skin)?
Ya…that’s where I’m at. The thing is, it doesn’t look as bad as it sounds. It does, however, hurt as much as it sounds!

Saturday Snapshot: He’s Gonna Jump!!

Dang Dog
Posted on March 4, 2011 by Nancy
It’s a good thing Higgins is so cute. Today has not been a great day for him!
6am: Higgins starts barking…which wakes Logan up. Anyone who knows me knows that this is a problem because I do not do well before 7am (oh who are we kidding…before 10am).
6:27am: Higgins jumps the gate downstairs and goes after the cat. Tiger makes a few laps around the house (with Higgins behind him) before I can corner Higgins. But not before Higgins runs into my right shin with his head – at top speed. (I’m now wondering if it’s the dog/cat ruckus or my swearing that woke Burke and Maggie…oh, and note that this is all STILL before 7am!)
8am: I pull a bloody cat claw out of Higgins’ head – right above the eye. (He’s fine.)
10am: I’m slowly able to walk without limping, but still unable to even touch my shin.
9:30pm: Walking fine, bruised, and still tender. How is it that the kids and the dog know just where to rest hands/heads/feets/paws??
Add to all that the apparent need for this dog to bark whenever he sees me walk down the stairs, walk up the stairs without him, or – heaven forbid – walk out the door…and you have one frazzled dog owner.
Good thing Trainer Mike comes again tomorrow!!
