It got cold when we returned from Disney! Like enough to go dig the winter coats out of the tote downstairs and start bundling up. But when I opened the tote, to pull them out, I could smell the stale water. Oh no! The tote had a crack in the bottom of it, and water had got in when the basement flooded. Since the coats were in the totes, I never opened them until today. UGH. I spent today soaking the coats in the washer for 3 hours and then hang drying them. Hoping that they all don't stink when they get wet again.
Tuesday night is tumbling night for Miss Olivia. Since we missed last week, she was excited to go back. Not only that, she is working on some advanced skills- front and back tucks- that we just weren't getting at the last gym. I took some video this week, even though they discourage sitting in the lobby watching the entire time since it's so small. But Miss O is doing amazing and really likes going to Ottawa to improve her skills.
Thursday night was trick-or-treat and it poured down rain. Why does it always have to be crappy weather for Halloween night? Isaac's class dressed up like minions and you can see him in the back with yellowish shirt on with writing,
The weekend came quick and we found ourselves in Galion for a swim meet. This was the kiddos first meet and it was a pentathlon meet. They each swam 25 yards of each stroke and then the IM. Isaac is not a strong stoke-guy. He is more of a back and free styler. He got DQ'ed from the IM, fly and breast. But hey, he tried. Olivia, on the other hand, was in her element. She ended up winning most of the strokes, and then winning her age group overall...earning her a trophy! She was so happy with her first swim. Jeremy decided that the mantra for this year will be to stay Hungry and Humble.
