Our (not so) ordinary day

Every Mom that I have ever met in our one plus year of going to swimming lessons has always told me, "Don't get goggles unless you absolutely have to because when (insert their child's name here) got hers/his, they were addicted and couldn't swim without them" - well, guess what? Since last September MaKenzie has had goggles and Grace never said a word, but now we have a new little boy - can't even tell you his name, but today was his second day and he showed up with goggles and Gracie started the class asking Ms. Tobey if she had any goggles. Ms. Tobey did and what do you know - they're one of her favorite colors (pink, purple, red and silver) and she goes underwtaer for the first time and burst up in glory - "So cool , Mom!" Guess where I'll be at tomorrow? Buying goggles...preferably a pair with all four of her favorite colors - oh yeah - not a large request at all...after I find a white pair, you'll find me on the paint aisle...ugggh.

This evening, we made feeding horses a family affair and as we headed out, we saw a rainbow outside our house - it was cool - the sky was a purple haze and you could see every color so clear...

It was also Luca's birthday today - he turned 9 (or 63 in doggie years) - he got a piece of cinnamon sugar toast and got to wear Gracie's birthday hat - you can tell he wasn't so happy about the latter! We were hiding in the laundry room so he could eat in peace - without Bailey and Oreo breathing down his neck...Happy Birthday, Lukie!

Now, for the big finale...yesterday, I told you Gracie's preschool graduation involves a segment about the solar system...here's our personal planet guru...our shining star...enjoy!
