Haven't written on this forever and so I figure it's time for an update...
Sarah has really been enjoying her Ballet classes and made a little friend in her class. They were cracking up and really trying to make each other laugh. The teacher was really good at regaining the girls attention and she is so patient with them. Her class is so small, it started off as 4 girls but last week there was 3. It's kind of nice that it's small, seems more personal that way.
Julia will be starting her Swim Lessons on Wednesday! She's been asking for months so I know she will enjoy them.
The girls have been catching Geckos lately. It's all the rage at their school. We try to encourage them to let the Geckos go after catching but they really want to make friends with these Geckos. So as a result they end up losing tails; I'm pretty sure the tails grow back but I'm sure the lizards appreciate having them just the same. It's a lost cause at this point but a cute hobby of theirs.
I've been trying to do more things with the girls during the weekend. We've noticed the longer they are cooped up in the house the more we drive each other crazy. So last weekend we went to the Zoo and the Aquarium. We've got a family pass to the Zoo so we really should be going more often. They love the goats usually because you can go in the pen with them but this time we went the Goats were ramming each other and chasing after people. Julia was chasing after the Goats trying to pet them while they were ramming each other. I chickened out and made the girls get out of there.
The Aquarium was very cool. Julia seemed more psyched about it this time then the last few. Each of the girls were given a radio where you push the numbers for each tank while you are walking through and then it gives an explanation of the animals. The girls really loved that. They are still working on numbers but they got the hang of it as we were going through.
Sarah had found a coral fossil a few months back so she brought it for people at the aquarium to look at. They didn't know much about it and asked us to come during the week when the experts are there. They also said that maybe they could use it for display there; Sarah was really excited about that. Julia was mostly excited about holding the hermit crab because this time she wasn't scared since she's been finding them on the beach.
They loved going out and making a day of it but their only complaint is that they wanted to go to the beach. So that's the plan for this weekend.

I felt the same way with Wyatt whenever we just stay at home it seems hard to relax and enjoy the day because he is always wanting something but whenever I take him out and we do stuff it is like the day goes by with less stress. Like he is distracted by everything that is going on so I don't feel like I have to be the entertainment (or the TV). The zoo sounded like it was a lot of fun and I was cracking up with this image of Julia chasing these crazy goats. LOL it is cool how brave the girls are but you were totally wise to end that it sounds like those goats were not having a good day.
It's definitely good to get kids out of the house. My mom ended up taking them out on Saturday because Dann and I went to a wedding. We should have taken them out on Sunday but we were recovering. Sarah says "Mom why are you so lazy?" hahaha. The weather was really nice when we went to the zoo so I think all the animals were feeling a little more frisky. I hope it was just a phase haha. lol I was surprised that Julia was trying to chase the ramming goats too. Funny now that I think about it.
