The girls had THREE hotdogs EACH for dinner on Monday night! Usually I have to BEG them to finish their dinner, but it's a rare occasion that they ask for seconds of something, almost unheard of for them to ask for thirds! In light of the recent news that hotdogs can be quite a health risk, I feel a bit guilty... but, I practically grew up on hotdogs and am not dead yet! It was just a quick dinner kind of night. They each probably eat 1-2 hotdogs a month, primarily in warm weather, so I doubt it's much of a big deal.
Swimming lessons on Saturday were fantastic! The instructor brought out the life vests and we strapped them up all nice and snug. Lorelai did great! She wobbled for the first few moments, trying to get her balance right, but got the hang of it without any incident. :) She was paddling back and forth just like a little fish. Felicity, on the other hand, with all her chunk and the life vest, was just bobbing away, rolling with no control. It didn't make for a very fun lesson for Felicity - she wasn't enjoying herself as much as Lorelai was. LOL. It might take her a bit longer to get her balance straight in the water. This next lesson is the last one, and then we'll be able to put Lorelai in a 'big-girl' swim class that doesn't require mommy and daddy.
After the swimming lessons, we stuck around the pool and played in the water park - a gated area where water shoots from the ground, there are little water guns, waterfalls, etc. Then, we moved over to the kiddie pool and let the girls play. Lorelai is really perfecting going under water and 'swimming!'
We got back to the house and she exclaimed to grandma, "We were just at the cat pool, Grandma!" LOL. Cat pool? Oh, the kiddie pool? She hears 'kitty' pool, not kiddie pool!
And when we were watching The Bachelorette Monday night... well, back up. We put the girls down for bed just as it was coming on, but a bit later, Lorelai came downstairs because she had to pee. Uh-huh. Suuuuure! :) Then, about 30 minutes later, she came down again because... more pee! I thought it was super cute, especially since she so rarely comes up with an excuse to actually come downstairs after we put her to bed, so I let her stay up to finish watching it. I told her it was the story of a princess trying to find her prince charming. Anyway, she saw the limousines, and said, "Mommy, that car is really smushed." I think she was trying to say stretched, but either way, it was more Lorelai cuteness.

THREE HOTDOGS!!! haha! Sounds like me though ...when ever I get a random craving for hot dogs I tend to go overboard with them. Mmm. Now I want hotdogs!
We are sucked into America's Got Talent. I try never to miss an episode since the obsession began. I even cried in joy for the rednecky Country Singer guy from KY that just barely made the 2nd cut in Vegas last night. I guess pregnancy hormones are suspect as well but somehow I get REALLY into and attached to these (strangers) people and their dreams and goals!
