FIRST SWIMMING LESSON OF THE YEAR

This afternoon was Mimi's first lesson of the year. Although she is much more "experienced" than the other girls, Caitlyn, Halliwell and Erin, it was more about being in the same class with her friends. Caitlyn is however in a different class along with Erin's little brother Liam. I must say that Mimi did pretty darn good for not being in the water since last summer. We could hear the teacher say "Don't you ever stop moving???" Therefore he dubbed Mimi "The Everyready Rabbit" which I think is the understatement of the year.

REECES MONKEES

This afternoon after our cleanning spree and before swimming lessons, we went down to our local library for a kiddie concert. Both Mimi and Blake always have loads of fun whenever they are together. Mom was also able to buy a couple of books dirt cheap too. $2.00 for two books - Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling and Honeymoon by James Patterson. Easy reading is all I am able to do these days.

MIMI'S NEW BED

It arrived yesterday afternoon and it took Mimi and I all of the afternoon and this morning to purge out all of the "Princess" stuff. We purchased this particular bunkbed for several reasons. One is that this is Mimi's first real bed (not counting the crib) and second we will be ready for Mei Mei when she comes. The top bed is a twin, the bottom is a full and the drawers can serve as two purposes. One purpose is that it can be used for storage such as sheets and comforters or the second purpose it can be used for is a trundle bed in which we would have to purchase another matteress. I choose to use it as storage. Although Mimi is super excited about the bed, she is not happy with the idea that she is not allowed to sleep on the top bunk for a long, long, LONG, time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMANTHA!

This is a special present for Mimi's "Disneyland Samantha" . She worked on it all morning long.
