Last Swim Lesson

Paul's parents gave the girls swim lessons for their birthday.  They started in mid-April and it was a 5-week session (twice a week).  The preschool classes go from P1 to P5 and they both started in P1, but we immediately realized they should probably be in P2.  They assessed them and agreed about Kayley being in P2, but said Olivia should stay in P1 because she wasn't very comfortable on her back.  She had a really hard time at first with her sister getting to move up without her, especially since one of their best friends was in the same P2 class, but she got over it after a few lessons.  At the end of the 5 weeks they assess everyone and recommend what level to go to next.  They recommended P2 again for Kayley and still P1 for Olivia.  But we weren't about to pay for another session of P1 because for the most part it was way too easy for her, so we talked to the staff and they let us to go ahead and put her in P2 for the next session.  So they both just finished that session and this time it was Olivia who advanced to P3 and Kayley was still recommended P2.  Kayley was super close, they said, but her legs sink when she rolls from her stomach to her back (or vice versa).

Anyway, I just thought it was funny that Olivia wasn't even supposed to be in P2 but then she advanced to P3 at the end of it.  We aren't going to continue lessons right now anyway, but if we did we would just but them both in P3 and I know Kayley would do just fine, just like Olivia did great in P2 when P1 was still "recommended".

Meanwhile, they will get lots of practice this summer at Crescent Bar and Coeur d'Alene.

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead.  It's basically all one big room.     I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002.  It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture.  The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah.  And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen.  Need curtains! Looking in from the living room.  Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...

Weigh-in Wednesday - Up and Down

So 2 weeks ago I skipped my weigh-in because of slacking off and then last week I skipped the weekly post altogether.  But I've since turned things around and am back on track. I've logged 2 good work outs so far this week.  On Monday I did C25K week 3 day 1 plus extra walking to equal 30 total minutes of cardio and then I did chest, shoulders and triceps.  Yesterday I did day 2 of C25K week 3 and legs.  Paul will be getting home later than usual for the rest of this week so I'm hoping the weather will cooperate so that I can just walk/run outside, as I won't have time to go to squeeze in the gym before dinner with him getting home later, or I could go after dinner but I don't really like to. So, after losing 7 pounds in April, I have since gained 8 (that's right-EIGHT) and lost 5.  OK, I probably didn't really gain 8.  That's what the scale said last Thursday but the very next day I was down 2.6 or 2.8 or something, so wh...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break.  I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year.  I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am.  We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin?  A lot has happened since I last blogged.  The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses.  We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer.  We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th.  We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out.  Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever.  So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...
