Busy, Busy, Busy!

I can't believe it has been so long since the last post. Lots of stuff going on here. The mother's club is starting a toy co-op and we have been helping with that. The city has given us space in the community center to keep toys that have been donated. Once a week it will be open for moms to bring there kids to play and hang out and the moms can socialize (imagine that!). Once they have enough toys donated they plan to make it into a toy library and lend the toys out for a week or two. Pretty cool idea! The city is eventually going to move the location to the actual library and have it be open whenever the library is (they are in the process of remodeling the library now). We have been helping to organize the toys and clean them so they are ready for the first official "play day" which is going to be this Wednesday. Emeline had her first gymnastics class this week (parent participation required for her age). She had a blast! I wasn't sure if she was going to be into it at first because she wouldn't do the warm up stretches she just watched. But once they started using all the equipment she was all for it! She did really well too. They had a half circle thing made out of foam that the lady used to help the kids do back bends over. Emeline did really well keeping her arms straight and she even landed on her feet! Made me so proud! They got to play "tennis" with balloons and big foam paddles, she thought that was quite fun. Can't wait for next weeks class. We went to visit cousins in San Francisco yesterday, the girls had a half day of school so we met them for lunch and then walked to the park. We are going up again tomorrow to watch some of their basketball games. Then they are coming down to visit us on Monday since they have the day off from school. We are going to visit one of the local museums, not sure which one yet though. We went bowling today. It is fun to bowl with Emeline because you never get a gutterball!! Love those bumpers! They also have a ramp made of metal rods that the little kids can use. You line it up at the end of the lane and put the ball at the top of the ramp and she pushes it down. She actually got a strike on her first ball today, very impressive...she even beat me (not hard to do). Our daddy was the big winner though, he got a 'turkey' (three strikes in a row). |
