swimming fishy "fun" and a few other bits

Tomorrow is the day I celebrate every summer: last day of swim lessons! I seem to forget every year how exhausting it is--every day for 2 weeks hauling a car full of kids across town to drag out the stroller and hurriedly herding them in (because we're always running late) through gates to their lesson, while I contain/console an energetic 2-year-old who's not allowed in the water and sometimes nurse the babe...followed up with a long walk back to the car while at least 1 child is screaming the whole way (bad attitudes, chilly bods after swimming in 60 degree weather)...more crying in the car...and for the grand finale we get home and all at once 2 kids need showers, 1 needs nursing and all of them need to eat lunch. But other than that it's TONS of fun. On the upside, they all took a nice long nap today. We also managed to fit in a trip to the library and a 1-month check-up for Miss J: The healthy punkin is up to 11 lbs. :) And here's the crew after their restful afternoon: Hope you all are having a great summer too. ;)
