What We've Been Up To

We've been busy and having lots of fun since my last blog post.  Here's what we've been doing...

Brice has started swimming lessons and he is having a blast.  He's improving and has become very comfortable in the water.  He is now swimming underwater with his eyes open.  His swimming class had safety week this week and wore their clothes into the pool.  They wanted the kids to know what it felt like to swim fully clothed in case they ever fell in.  They also taught them how to reach for someone if they fell in and to pull them out of the water.  The kids had a blast saving their teacher and pretending to fall in and be saved.  Brice did have a mishap before class.  He didn't understand he would be swimming in his clothes and tried to pull down his sweats on the pool deck, but his swim trunks came with them and he flashed the whole swimming pool.  He was completely unfazed and was headed for the water anyway.  Luckily, I caught him and managed to get him dressed.  It was hilarious.

We've gone to the aquarium and played in the new shark cage.

We visited the pumpkin patch.  Where the boys climbed on pumpkins, played with some animals and rode around in a wagon.

We went trick or treating.  Brice dressed as a pterodactyl and Rogan was Nemo.

We visited the Nature Center and hiked around a little bit.  We also had a picnic along the trail.  The most interesting display at the Nature Center is a working beehive.  The bees enter the hive via a little plexiglass tube which serves as their highway from outdoors to indoors.  Very neat.  Brice was in awe.

We played trains and with Brice's  tools.

Rogan outgrew his highchair and now the boys eat together at their own little table.  It's pretty darn adorable.

Brian's parents came down and we all went to the playground.

We've been real busy and I think you're now caught up with us.
