Here's the scene at 7am on our back patio:
 |
| Warming up for their balance beam routines |
Each girl had a routine they were excited to show me. Here's Hannah's:
 |
| Careful not to fall! |
 |
| Spinning dismount |
 |
| Post-routine stretch |
And Sophie's:
 |
| Posing mid-routine |
 |
| Dismount action shot |
 |
| Toweling off after all that exertion |
Both girls have expressed interest in taking gymnastics classes after watching the Olympics this past week. I'll attempt to sign them up through Harrisonburg Parks and Rec next week when the registration opens.
Later in the morning we tackled grocery shopping and school supply shopping. At Wal-Mart. On the first day of the tax-free holiday. I must be crazy. Actually, it went pretty well. We didn't need a whole lot of things, and we got out without spending too much.
Later in the day I had a (not so) glorious moment in which I screamed and stripped my shirt off violently in the kitchen. The girls wondered what in the world was wrong with me. I kept feeling like something was tickling me, and finally I saw it. A spider, crawling INSIDE my shirt. I'm happy to say that spider is now dead.
One last little tidbit... I found the sign below on Hannah's door last night. I'm not sure how long it's had this message, but I like it given that the previous message (on the reverse of the sign) said something to the effect of "Knock before entering."
