Birthday Party prep...


Tonight Jazzy helped me make her birthday party grab bags. I thought about not letting her know about it.... but I'm glad I didn't. She had alot of fun helping me put stuff in the bags. If all the kids show up... which they probably won't... there will be 7 boys and 7 girls, ranging in age from 1-7, so it was a challenge making the bags for each gender and age... plus it's mostly a Hello Kitty party.... ha.....

Friday class....






Today we had a class with a July 4th theme... since we have no class next week. They made sun visors and little music shakers out of paper plates. Then we went to Cold Stone Creamery to get our free ice cream which was given to every child for completing another 2 weeks of swim lessons..... 4 weeks down and 8 to go.

Free Swim....







Every other Thursday night, we have a "free swim" instead of swimming lessons, so I just stand on the side of the pool and film everything instead of going into the vomit/pee/snot water. The other day, a kid vomited in the water. They put a rope across half of the pool and closed the side where the kid vomited. I asked the teacher... "Don't you think that water is connect with this water over here?" "Oh no, it doesn't circulate". OOOOKKKKK. Yuk.
So, we have some photos of Jazz in the shallow beach end acting like a frog ..."ribbit", "ribbit", "ribbit"... for about a half hour, then she went down the slide again. I don't have a photo of that because right when I went to take the photo, an idiot guy stepped right in front of me and took his pants off.
Also, I didn't realize that when I changed the batteries in my phone... that I had to reset the date... so they all say 2003.

Socializing with a friend.
Jazzy starting to jump off a little ledge. She is not so brave when I am not in the water with her. When I am there, she will literally dive into the water, and puts her whole head/face in the water.... but, if I am not there, she turns around and slides butt first into the water:)
Jazzy at the top of the slide... but it is getting dark, so you cannot see it very well.
Doing the splits
Jasmine is mad because she had to get out of the water for a "lifeguard change".
