Interested in getting the children private swim lessons. I have looked into local places that offer lessons however have heard from many that the classes are such a size that each child may receive 5 minutes of actual one on one time with the instructor in a half hour class. Anyone know of any local private instructors?

Kids were riding their bikes in the basement so I decided to jump on the stationary bike for a bit. After 10 minutes I burned close to 300 calories. I haven't eaten yet today so I banked extra calories for the day although I think on a standard day I burn more calories then I consume!

Ella had a dentist appointment yesterday and chose strawberry flavored toothpaste. Yesterday afternoon and again this morning she comes up to me and asks me to smell her teeth....then she asks with big bright eyes, "do they smell like strawberry?" To darn adorable! :-)

Here's hoping the $14.00 eye drops help Cooper and his puffy swollen eyes. Poor boy is suffering horribly from the pollen and spring growth. He can't even be outdoors for 5 minutes without rubbing them uncontrollably. :(

Ella just informed me that Michael Strahan is her Daddy. Um...news to me.

Spontaneous water balloon fights with the children, great way to spend a Mothers Day afternoon!

Tune to attempt to decorate Ellas cake. This is so not my thing but she's my daughter so I'll try my best. Fingers crossed.
