Mondays are now gymnastics days. Since watching the Olympics this summer, the girls decided they wanted to give gymnastics a try. So we signed them up for a class through Harrisonburg Parks and Rec this fall. So far they are really enjoying it, though they have plenty of room to grow in their gymnastics skills! Cartwheels involve planted hands and feet that just barely jump off the ground before landing a little way over to the side. Despite the large class size (20+ with four teachers), they seem to be learning a few things and certainly are having fun.

This week is definitely feeling like fall. We've had lows in the 30s and highs only in the 40s and 50s. On gymnastics day this week I don't think the temperature got out of the 40s. In years past, we've attempted a "No Heat October" in which we try to avoid turning on the heat until November. When we got home from gymnastics yesterday the inside temperature of the house was 64 degrees, with lows to drop into the 30s again last night. So, we turned on the heat before October is even halfway over. We'll probably turn it off again tomorrow morning since highs are supposed to be in the 60s the rest of the week. Here are my girls eating dinner last evening in our 64 degree house:
