Staying Warm and Swimming

I don't know about the rest of you, but this weather here lately has been brutal.  Snow and ice and cold temperatures have made for inconsistent school routines.  The girls' first day back after Christmas was last Tuesday, which ended up being a two hour late start (which means school starts at 11:00 - how crazy is that?!).  The following day was also a late start and the day after that (Thursday) there was no school.  Friday thankfully was our first full day back with no delays.  We finally felt like we were maybe back on track and headed in the right direction.  That is until an ice storm came Sunday night and cancelled school on Monday this week. Thankfully the rest of this week has been normal, except there is an early release (professional development) tomorrow and no school Monday (MLK day).

I am beginning to wonder if the girls will have any consistent school routine again!

These past couple of weeks the girls have certainly had cabin fever.  The weather has been way too cold to get outside and play in the beautiful snow.  The ice hasn't helped either!  Thankfully the girls started swimming lessons recently.  So that has gotten us out of the house and burning a little (or a lot) of energy!

Quinn's teacher is a pusher - she works them super hard.  So hard in fact, that Quinn was in near tears the first lesson because her legs hurt so much!  After that lesson, Quinn was remarking at how tired she was and how the others in her group were complaining too.  But with hard work, comes great rewards!  So we are certain she will make great progress this season!

Sullivan continues to be a fish in the water and has absolutely no fears whatsoever!  She is thoroughly enjoying her lessons and can't get enough of them!

Here's hoping for some warmer weather and the chance to get outside and burn some energy too!
