Gymnastics started back up for us this week; we took the summer off for swim lessons knowing we'd pick back up in the Fall. Izzy had a new teacher (sniff, sniff) but she went out for warm-ups without even a look back. She knew exactly where she was and what she was in for. Read: Iz was pumped to be back in the gym (and so was I).
Forward roll
Floor time
Balance beam (sorry the undies were out...she did receive a deduction from the judges :)
Bars
Friday afternoon my dad & step-mom arrived in town and picked the girls up from school. They said both girls were napping and had to be woken...what a fun way to wake up - to your grandparents! Dad & Anna were able to hang with the girls (read, play, take a walk) for a few hours before Mike and I got home. We had a pizza party and quality family time Friday night. Saturday I met Meggie for a very early morning run (my final taper run was only 8 miles) and then came back to have a yummy breakfast out. It rained ALL day Saturday (hadn't rained in almost 60 days in Indy!) so we did indoor activities: baked cupcakes and had a dance party.
Izzy helped bake and decorate
Then we had a little party for the Iz. She sang happy birthday "to me" and blew out her 3 candles.
Laney Bug watching
Dance party! Laney loves that silly recorder. I told her she'll loathe it in 4th grade. She still rocks out with it anyway.
This is a new fun activity we have at home...one of the girls gets in the little Radio Fly.er and we push them back and forth and back and forth across the kitchen floor. They just giggle and squeal with delight. So fun. Below the girls tried this together! I just love how much they play together now. Laney is walking as her primary form of transportation now, which has given her lots more freedom in her play and yet annoys her sister when Izzy wants to play alone (or not share).
Sunday we hunkered down at home (only leaving to buy groceries and pumpkins)...we haven't had a weekend at home with NO PLANS in a long time. Cozied in and had lots of quality family time. What did we do? Well...
We read lots of books in the tent
We watched movies
We wrestled
We painted pumpkins
We carved pumpkins
I separated the seeds from the muck while they drew & carved (YUMMY!)
And we lit up the final scary product
Happy October!!!
