Egg and Cheese Puffs

So the kids had their final swimming lesson last night. Savannah ended up staying home with me though because she has a slight tummy ache. So far so good today, but I don't want to curse it by saying she's better yet. Connor was in his second round of Dolphin/Preschool-2 class and he still didn't pass. But it's okay, he made some great improvements. Last time he had half of the 20ish check list things that he needed to work on this time it was only 4.

So a couple of weeks ago for work we had a pot luck. I made some of my Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins but for Scott I decided to try a new recipe, so I went to allrecipes.com and found THIS recipe for Egg and Cheese Puffs. I followed the recipe exactly and they were a big hit. The recipe actually made several more than it stated it would so there where plenty of leftovers. I actually popped a small bagful in the freezer for later. Word of advise, use the metal liners for them. A bunch of people in the comments section said that without putting a liner they stuck really bad, so I used regular liners....and they still stuck really bad. A co-worker said to try the metal ones, so I'll do that next time I make these.

Preschool 2 Here We Come

A lazy Sunday today. We spent most of the morning just relaxing around the house, and now it's after 1 p.m. we're finally going to make lunch & then head out and buy Connor's school supplies. We have an open house on Wednesday to see the school & meet his teachers, and we have to bring the school supplies with us. Thankfully we didn't buy the supplies ahead of time because the list on the website is different then the list we received in the mail this week.

So this past Tuesday was Connor's last swimming lesson of the summer, and guess what? He passed! After 3 sessions of being in Preschool 1 he can finally move onto Preschool 2 next summer! Next summer I'll probably just sign him up for Preschool 2 twice because it seems a lot more difficult than Preschool 1, and it's hard to imagine that he'll pass the first time considering it took him 3 times for this part of it........we'll see I guess.

Swimming at Lake Mills

So I really should be working on Connor's thank yous from his birthday party but I keep getting distracted. The computer is calling my name and then it doesn't help that Scott's sitting here yelling at the TV and all the guys trying to hit home runs.......

So this past Saturday Gary invited us all (Scott's parents, his sister/family, Betty and Vera) out to Lake Mills to go swimming at Sandy Beach. So we packed up the coolers and the kids and headed out. We did a bunch of swimming and ate some good lunch (Subway and some other odds and ends), and the kids played on the play set there as well. It was a perfect day to be out in the sun and play, but it had to come to an end only 4 hours after we got there because we had to head to a birthday party.

Swimming Lessons

So far so good this week with the 30 Day Shred. I finished Day 18 last night, and if I continue every night I'll finish with it on June 25th, right before my birthday, which was my goal. So hopefully I can find the energy to pry my butt off this couch so I can get Day 19 done!

So tonight was the beginning of Swimming Lessons for both kids. Connor did such an amazing job. If you remember from last summer he ended up failing Preschool 1, which was to be expected, considering it was the first time he had ever been in a pool without Scott or I. But he is doing noticeably better which is good considering we signed him up for Preschool 2 classes for the second 1/2 of the summer. Savannah did awesome as well. She only wined a couple of times, but it was kind of cold, so I don't blame her. Scott took 1 close up picture of Savannah, but her eyes ended up being closed.....I'll take better ones next time.
