This feels like Monday

I could have sworn today was a Monday! Holley and I have started our boys in private swim lessons. This helps us in a couple of ways: one, we don't have a certain swim instructor we DON'T want and two, we get to do our lap swim whild the boys have their instruction. We even arranged it so that the boys have their class one after another and at a convenient time of the day. So this morning when I woke up and thought, wow, I have all morning to relax, I don't have to be at the pool until almost noon! I should have known that something would go wrong.

I got a call from Andy's office, over a minor issue and I swear I was on the phone with them for no longer than five minutes. Now, I remember when I picked up the phone, Tate was starting to draw on his new easel which I didn't think twice about. When I hung up the phone, Tate quite proudly announced to me, "I drew on the floor with the purple marker!". So, here is my floor after his wonderful artwork:

He hasn't done this in so long! He's had two other incidents like this. One time he took a pen and drew from one end of my couch to the other, (thank goodness for microfiber couches with scotchguard) and of course, the time he drew all over Ayden. He hasn't done anything since then, so it was such a surprise when he did this. So now he is grounded from his markers. Of course when I told him this, he just looked at me like I was crazy, but at least he knows his markers are gone.

Thankfully, it got better from there. We got our new double stroller, although I won't really be able to try it out until I get back from Virginia. Tate did great in swim class, he went into the big pool and did his jumps and followed directions wonderfully! I am so excited that he is doing so well.

It is a two day countdown until I go to Virginia. By myself. Yikes. Still a little worried about how this is going to go. Should be interesting. I will definitely keep you updated.
