Summers Here!

Yeah! Took one look at that sparkling blue water today and promptly bought summer pool passes for my kids! I'm so excited to take them - they will be in watery heaven! And for $50 a person? BEST deal I've seen in a while. WAY cheaper than any daycamp I've seen and way more fun. Finally, looking forward to school ending :) And just in time as the little darlings are done tomorrow!

Nap vs. Gym

So here's the debate that was going on in my head this afternoon while all the kids were occupied and I had an hour to myself: "nap or gym, nap or gym, nap or gym. Nap....wait, recall the fiasco trying on bathing suits last week? Ok, gym." Gym won. And it felt sooo good. Came home all sweaty and invigorated to a messy, noisy, house and all was well with the world!

Revelations

I had three useful thoughts today at Zumba (in addition to many non-useful ones). First, I realized that me trying to follow Annie is like a toddler trying to do the highjump - you need to learn to crawl, then walk, then do ridiculous things with your body. So I spotted a young woman to follow who could totally do the moves but was not nearly as fast or amazing as Annie (is anyone?). I followed her and actually could semi keep up! Secondly, as long as you're moving your hips and arms with a spanish flavour (picture Marc Anthony's back up dancers), no one can really tell that you're totally lost! And last, while the songs are mostly in Spanish and I have no clue what's they're saying, I distinctly heard the word "tequila" in that last one. Aha!
