combo class

We are starting to get this school/life/activities/work schedule figured out. The girls are back in dancing school and are back in their combo gymnastics and swimming class. I love this class at the rec center! They do gymnastics for 30 minutes and then the class walks down the hall to the pool, change to swim suits, and do swim lessons for 30 minutes. 

This is the perfect class for Wednesday afternoons because it's early release day from school. That means we have even more time to kill each afternoon (an extra 1 1/2 hours) before B gets off work and we can reclaim the house. After swim lessons the pool is open and I typically let them swim until it's time to go home and make dinner. That should make for some very worn out girls each evening! This week was an exception because I had to stop by the library and pick up my book that is on hold (yes, I am obsessed!!). 

This is the entire class! The classes over the summer are so big and the gym is so crowded. There's only other little girl in their class and two little ones in the other class. Five tiny kiddos with two teachers and an entire gym to themselves.

The five kiddos move on down to the pool and they get two more instructors for swimming. The pool is empty except for the old-folks water aerobics class. We've hit the jackpot this session. Have I mentioned before that I don't care for crowds....

We headed out for dinner tonight. I make up our weekly dinner menu and do the grocery shopping while B makes dinners most evenings (he enjoys to cook/hates to grocery shop - this works for us). Every time I have "Grilled Brauts" on the calendar we end up going out. Every. Time. I think I'll cross that off the menu list. Anybody want some brauts? I have a Costco case for you.
