Beautiful Blessings - 8/31/15

~ Watching the divers at the Y with T-bug and L-Jo! They thought it was pretty neat to see their flips and dives!
~ Watching T-Tot master swimming the short length of the pool without stopping! She is becoming a little fishie! So is Lil' G! They all are! Im very proud of them <3
~ Being able to do 6 laps! I did 2 when I got there and 4 before I left! Slowly but surely getting stronger!
~ Seeing the pumpkin patch on our way home from the Y. And when I spotted a big one, automatically thinking if it would work well for Cinderella!
~ Working together to make a delicious salad for dinner!
