Week in Review

We had an unusual week.  First - the kids had a pet sitting job for the week.  They had fun with it, but they did do the work!  The family has 2 dogs, 3 cats, a guinea pig, and 3 turtles.  (The turtles were self sufficient for the week.)

Annalise decided she likes cats.

Cuteness!

In addition to pet sitting, we had 8am swimming lessons.  Not that it will benefit anyone who reads my blog - but the Learn to Swim program at Miami Dade parks is a great deal!  And I think both C & A improved a lot.  Caleb was in Level 3 and learned the breaststroke and backstroke.  He is a fast swimmer too!  They worked on diving a lot too - which was amusing to watch - the kids could get the form right on the board, but they fell in the water like a rock.

Annalise was in Level 2.  They focused on freestyle swimming.  Her biggest improvement was in confidence.

And we did school - actually we finished school for the year - at least for the portfolios.  Our work this week will go towards next year's portfolios.

Irene and Natalie had check ups - Irene is holding steady at the 50th percentile and Natalie continues to be on the small side - about 15th.  They were both pronounced to be very healthy.

Rob surprised the kids with an outing to see Minions.

Mako had his insulin increased again.

And Natalie made the jar salads:

I think I need a vacation!  Or I would if a vacation wasn't so much work!
