Ice Skating

Abby had her first ice skating lesson on Saturday. She wasn't feeling the greatest. She caught the flu that we all had, and she was feeling pretty tired Saturday morning, but said she wanted to give it a go. She did great once she figured out how to keep her balance on the skates. They use chairs to help teach the kids on the ice, and it was quite funny to see a bunch of 4 and 5 year olds "skating" around the rink, pushing chairs! Most of the pictures are taken through glass, so they are not that great, but wanted to post them so you could see her skate.

Looking a bit apprehensive!

In other news, Hannah and Griff are obsessed with "undies". They talk about the potty and wearing undies all day, so I think I'm going to go buy them some and perhaps (so not looking forward to this!) get the potties out and start the process. Hannah has already told me she wants princess undies and Griff wants Thomas.

Mike and I went to dinner last night, which was nice. We've been feeling cooped up, and I called our sitter to see if she was available, and she was, so we took advantage and got out of the house for a couple of hours. We had a great "adult" meal and enjoyed a kid-free couple of hours.

Abby is back to school tomorrow, Monday, and I know she is looking forward to going back. She misses her teacher and her friends. I'm looking forward to being back to some sort of routine.

That's all for now. I need to get back to the kids - they are playing with play-dough, and it seems there is more on the floor than on the table!
