weekend & swimming

I can't believe it... but I haven't been online since Friday night! WOW! It's not b/c we had a really exciting weekend or anything, but did have some things going on. I watched a couple of movies this weekend:

Two For the Money - It was alot better than I thought it would be... and Matthew is such a cutie! (And my hometown boy! Woohoo!)

Rumor Has It - VERY CUTE movie! Hubby slept through this one (he was asleep BEFORE it started!) but I think he'd like it, too! You gotta see this one if you haven't. :)

Saturday, we decided to get a few things for our upcoming trip! (12 days & counting!!!!) Ended up spending almost $300.00 - A pair of Crocs for everyone ( a MUST HAVE for the beach!), lots of suntan/sunblock lotion, bug spray, Pepto tabs (you never know!), beach towels, walkie talkies, batteries, snorkeling gear, beach toys, juice boxes, & few things for around the house. It adds up FAST! And of course, you can't have a family outing w/out grabbing some yummy Mexican food while you're out! :) Sunday - we took Lil' Tad out to my parent's to practice getting his face/head under water again. It took a little while to get him used to the water - but a few hours later he was walking around in the shallow-end (I can't believe he's tall enough to touch already!) without his floaties! He even jumped off the bottom step & swam to his Daddy a few times WITH his face going under a little! WOW! A big accomplishment for him! He was sooo proud of himself, as we were of him, too! YAY! WTG little man! :)






And today was 1st day of swimming lessons! First thing out of Tad's mouth when we got there... "I'm scared, Mommy!" Awww! But the instructor pulled out a bucket of "swim buddies" (little figurines that float!)and Tad was gone! :) I snuck out so he really quick & peeked out from behind the house! He did really good - although he still wasn't too sure about getting his face wet, but he did a few times! I'm confident that he'll be my little fishie by the end of the week!
