7QT: Another Week

one. Swim lessons ended last night! Everyone passed their level! Well, M, in fact did pass, but you have to be three to move to the next level so, she's got another year of her class to go. So by next summer she will probably be teaching the class since this was her second year and she was slightly underwhelmed. She truly believes she's a big kid.

two. C's teacher remained the dud that I believed her to be from the first class, but even got a little worse if you can imagine. I was really upset about it on Wednesday night, because it really felt like she was picking on C. Another parent commented to me about it as well, so I don't think I am being overly sensitive or protective. I was all set to write an email about her but I googled her last night and she just finished her freshman year of high school. So I still will probably write an email, because I do think it should be brought to the attention of the pool staff that she would be better off with older children, but she probably wasn't as malicious as I felt she was being because she's so young.

three. C is THE MOST excited for our Disney World 2017 trip. He is already asking where his "magic bracelet" is. He has been watching all the rides on YouTube and has been making big plans! It's kind of hilarious. It makes me proud but I keep trying to set his expectations low because the kids will be pretty little still. Right now his biggest "must dos" are: it's a small world and Gran Fiesta Tour.

four. Tuesday night my bestie and I headed out to play Pokemon Go for a couple hours. It was really fun and there were a TON of people out. It has also been a good motivator for C. Swim lessons conveniently had like 3 Pokestops, so we'll see if I keep playing with the save fervor when I have to really seek out more Pokeballs.

five. Prime day was incredibly successful. I got the bluetooth speaker, something for each kid, a Christmas gift for my brother and my one splurge item was these Dry Erase Pockets.

I SURE wish we had these during preschool! We used sheet protectors which were so hard to clean. And at $9 that isn't even a irresponsible splurge in the grand scheme of splurges. And they will for sure be used well!

six. I took a small break between the fifth take and now to pay bills. Riveting. This is what it has boiled down to. I just told you I pay my bills. On one hand, that's a good thing, because clearly that means I am being a productive member of society and not running amok. But on the other hand, that is incredibly boring and not even interesting since most everyone pays bills. 

seven. I am not even going to cop out this last take with something like "Linking up with Kelly" or mumbling about politics or the tragedy in Nice. Because that's all so obvious. Instead I will use this seventh take of mine to lament that I still do not have a school supply list for C. The school has the K-8 list out but not for preschool. So... I wait and twiddle my thumbs I guess. It's not a big deal at all but it would be nice to have to spread out my purchasing instead of one big trip.

Okay people, happy weekend!
