Haircuts, swimming and car washing

This morning started at 6am with Sky yelling for help from her room because she got her arm stuck in one of the bedrails of her bed. Ken rescued her but none of us really fell back to sleep. Today was a day for mundane tasks that have to be done every so often. I took the kids for haircuts. I held Brad on my lap and he screamed the whole time. He looks very handsome now with his buzz cut though. Sky did great and doesn't seem to mind the haircut at all as long as the hair dryer doesn't get turned on. Our hairdresser, Lupe, was very nice and handed out lollipops when it was all over.
Then we went into a pet store in the same plaza and saw all kinds of dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, rabbits, turtles, fish, etc. I was glad that we made it out of there without any new additions to the family.
Then we swam in the BIOLA pool and Sky spent more time under water than she did above. The swimming lessons were really good for her and she has much more confidence about going underwater than she did before. We also play swimming lessons in the bath tub at home and she puts her head underwater.
This evening we washed both cars, Ken planted some vegetables that were given to us by a friend (now we just have to keep them alive), I went to work out at Curves (I'm participating in a fitness study for a month), and I met a friend at the park to play bocce. A fun day and I'm tired.

Hi Lori,
Busy day beginning w/early AM drama. Rem. when Gary got stuck? Ah yes, those mundane tasks... Poor Little Buddy and all of that haircut torture. Does he have "ruffles?" ...Pet stores are fun places to go into and LOOK... Great news about Sky's confidence increasing about going under water!... What kind of veggies will you enjoy if you water them? (Not much chance of rain, we know)...Quite a full day. (May I have some of your energy?)
Love ya, Mom & Bill
