It's been forever and six weeks since I updated here.

We didn't end up doing another session of swim lessons. Neither did I, the kids' dance studio was offering Adult Ballet so I took that instead. Katie missed her last two lessons due to camp pick up and being sick so I don't know if she officially passed. She's at the age for solo lessons now anyways.

Camp went ok. Bri had a great time as usual, but CeeCee didn't warm up to soccer. She loved the swimming in the afternoon, but just hated the soccer portion. It really surprised us. They gave everyone a medal at the end, and that made her say she wanted to go back next year. We've been talking about art camp instead maybe.

The older two girls spent two weeks in Newfoundland at the end of August, right after camp. As usual they were kind of tight lipped about it, but I think they had fun.

Somewhere in the summer Celeste got her ears pierced which was a bit of a disaster. So.much.screaming. I was just about to give up when she finally let them do it.

Katie's birthday was right before the girls left. It was small, but she got tasty ice cream cake.

School started, Celeste was a little aprehensive about that for some reason. She still goes every other day, she's in SK now. She started reading near the end of last year, but isn't all the interested in it.

Wesley had his birthday, which was an even smaller party than Katie's. He also got ice cream cake because at the time he wasn't eating solid food all that well. He's doing better at eating now, but still chokes fairly often. Still isn't walking or talking, though he crawls like a proper baby now.

Sparks and Brownies is going. Bri loves Brownies, and CeeCee sometimes likes Sparks. I'm the Brownie leader, so I have to spend a fair bit of time organizing that.

The suprise activity ended up being Tae Kwon Do. A studio opened up in the same plaza as dance. I got my hands on a flyer for their class schedule and noticed the times were pretty convenient for us and thought Celeste might like it. She flipped a lid when I merely suggested it, she was scared she'd have to break boards with her hands. Turns out, they start with their feet, ha! I managed to convince her to go watch a class while Brianna took dance, and halfway through she decided to join in. She LOVED it. Brianna said she wasn't interested in it at all, but after Celeste came home and said it was totally awesome she changed her mind. Mike somehow got sucked in too, and now some combination of them goes nearly every day of the week. Their first opportunity for belt testing is next Thursday. I don't know that any of them will be ready, but maybe. Brianna broke a board with her foot today. Celeste was too apprehensive. She kicked at it a few times, but not with hardly any force. She kicks the foam targets much harder.

As for me, I still go to yoga once a week. I'd like to go twice, but it's just been too busy. I have a midterm on Monday, school seems to be going well, but my mark on that will prove it. Ballet is fun, but I'm not sure how long she'll keep offering the class, it's pretty small. It's just me and her best friend. :)
