Really honestly a good summer 2008

Here's the first thing:  

Kudo's

Kudo's to my dear friend Denise who seems to get things done

All the time she works SO hard until after the setting sun

She is so dedicated to her kids, her husband and her friends, 

Her love for live, passion and drive she often extends.

She made a list of things to do before the summer was through

The Quay, the beach, the farm and other things that are fun to do

Her example was followed by me as I did similar things in different time

My summer with my kids was fun and give her the kudos in this rhyme.

Secondly, I am SO glad that swimming lessons are over! BUT It was WELL worth it. The difference in my little ones is HUGE. They truly are preschoolers now and miss their swimming teacher already having asked to go see Alvin at swimming. SO CUTE! I hope that the 2 weeks they had has prepared them for the 22nd of September when they will go to preschool playtime at Lochdale 2 times a week. Sam did AMAZINGLY well and passed a level that I thought FOR SURE he would have to take a couple of times but the notes on the report card are that he's a strong swimmer in the deep end...go figure. Austin is ticked at me because he didn't pass. Level 4 is crucial to the rest of the levels because of the front crawl which get this, "Mom, it's your fault because you didn't tell me that I needed to work on it." :::roll eyes::: Hope passed into the 6th level which is a 45 minute class and starts the learning for life saving stuff. I am trying to encourage her become a lifeguard and instructor and think it would be the coolest job for a 15 year old to have...well again, I am glad its over but thankful that I was able to give my kids the one thing we have tried to do for 5 years running...
