Tonight we are getting some snow and we have went back to the cold weather we know for Feb in Iowa. During the warm weather the girls were very confused. They both asked if we could go to Marks to swim and they wanted to go camping. Little too early for both of those, but summer will be here before we know it.
Last week I stayed up until midnight to sign the girls up for swim lessons at the YMCA. I signed them up for both spring sessions, so hopefully they are ready for lots of swimming this summer. I will also be signing them up for summer swim lessons at Glen Oaks. With all the time we spend in the water in the summer I believe they need to be good swimmers.
Last night Ben and I went to a meeting at Van Meter school for Kindergarden. This makes the reality of Emma going to Kindergarden in the fall much too real for me. They welcomed the parents of the class of 2024! Wow, we certainly did not need to hear that. As sad as I will be to send her to school for the first time, this meeting really made me happy with our decision to send her to a small school. They are more like a family and the older kids look out for the little ones. I am very excited to become active in the school and meeting more members of the community! We also met a parent last night who open enrolls from Waukee. If the gas prices get much higher we may have to talk to her about car pooling :) The 1 thing that shocked me was that the first day of school is on August 15, this just makes our summer so much shorter and she has to start school during my beloved Iowa State Fair. I guess we will have to cram a couple visits to the fair before the first day of school!
