Another Swim Meet


Nicholas swam this weekend. We have 1 more meet before Divisionals and State. He had GREAT weekend as he took off on everything he swam! WTG NICHOLAS!!!
He was into it and had FUN which is what matters. For those of you that do not have kids that swim it is A LOT of work!! He gets up 3/4 school mornings a week at 4:30 and has practice from 515 to 7:00 then SCHOOL, from school he goes to Practice from 3:30 to 5:30 and 3 nights a week he teaches Pre Team swim lessons! Plus on Saturday morning we have practice or a meet. You have to like it to spend this much time at the POOL. The boy smells like chlorine and his hair looks like crap. He is into the 2 hairscuts a YEAR phase, 1 before summer state and 1 before State in March. We are not going to Divisionals as he has most all his cuts and you can only swim 5 events at State.
Tyler just started back to swim in the last few months and is liking it again. Most ALL our friends are swim parents as what do you do on weekends when there is a meet. You get up by 5..drive to a meet...find where everyone is sitting and TALK and cheer for each others kids:)
Then it is OFF to lunch/dinner and you do it all the next day again!!!
Sooo once a month the "MOMS" decided we need to DUMP the kids, DUMP the husbands and we have FUN and we call this day each month "BUNCO".
*this picture is from this summer as I have been sooo bad about taking pictures recently. This might be why my last few posts have no NO pictures or pictures of yogurt:)
