Keeping Busy

October was delightfully busy with after school activities, a couple of weddings (well the same one really), and a lot of driving around from place to place.

Some highlights of the activities:
 Both kids are taking dance classes at the studio near our house.  Lucy is enrolled in a Ballet/Tap combo class like last year and both kids are taking Musical Theatre with Miss Katie.  Lucy took a workshop from Miss Katie this summer and loved it so much that both of them wanted to sign up for the school year.  The class is half dance and half singing with a whole bunch of personality thrown in.  They are prepping for a winter performance of Christmas songs and then will perform in the big recital in June.

With Lucy mostly sticking to dance this semester, Tommy did swimming at school during PE and after school one day a week and is now taking lessons at SI.  He has made tremendous strides in his swimming and now believes that he can in fact float.

This was HUGE!

Finally, he also participated in Mini-Hoops through Park and Rec and really enjoyed his first basketball experience.

Judging by this pose… Lucy will NOT be taking up Field Hockey.  Yikes!
