Has it been a week?

Wow- this week seemed to fly right by.  We have had Landin and Zaza here since Thursday morning and during the first part of the week Marc was out of town for work.

We decided to join one of those "mega-gyms" and I have to say we love it.  We have a pool in our neighborhood and were already members of the Y so I never felt the need to go to a fancy gym.  The problem with the Y is that once you are eight you are too old for the nursery and too young to work out. They put the 8-14 year olds in an unsupervised room with the cartoon network and kids with cell phones.  It wasn't going to work for our family.

We toured this fancy monstrosity of a gym and were blown away.  Beach entry pools with water slides, hot tubs, saunas, a spa and salon, a cafe, etc. and the main thing: FREE classes for kids at all hours of the day.  We have gone several times and Julia has gone to acting class and sports skills and wants to try gymnastics, Tucker goes to karate and gymnastics (and loves it), and Marc goes to sports skills and a boot camp class that goes up and down this tower, climbs ropes, flips tractor tires, etc- he loves it!

The great thing is that it's all at one time- each kid in a different class and Mommy on the treadmill where I am getting to listen to lectures on my phone.  :)  It's working for now and I'm so happy to have a good outing that works for everyone.

When Tucker put on this outfit he said, "Mommy will you please tie my great and loyal football shoes?"

We love Steak and Shake around here-

I was at the park with the children the other night and these two parents were chasing all over after their 2 or 3 year old and saying "Careful, baby....no don't step there.....keep your shoes on.....you are too little to climb ladders.....don't walk up the slide...."  Meanwhile I sat on a bench and watched Charlie climb whatever he felt like while barefoot.  :)  Fourth baby folks.  

Tucker STILL walks every step with Marc when he mows the grass- this time with his favorite swim goggles- :)

We love our little helpers in the yard-

Every Sunday when we are walking out of the church we lose Tucker.  He immediately runs off and gets into some type of situation- last Sunday he was in the scaffolding.  Two weeks ago we found him in the tree in front of the rectory-

Then he runs up, "I'm a moose!  Look everybody I'm Bullwinkle"-

And this is proof that not EVERY Sunday picture turns out great.  :)  That's life folks!
