7:45 Adam was not looking forward to swimming today so to make it easier I asked him if he wanted me or Jeremy to take him. He picked me, so Jeremy stayed home and fed Alex and Ariel waffles.
8:00 Adam's swim lesson was very sad. He kept saying, "I'm all done now" and the instructor would say, "No you aren't" and shove his head underwater. He needs to start kicking his legs and then he'll be through phase I.
8:20 Jeremy drove my car with Alex and Ariel to the pool, and then went on to work.
8:45 We got home. I put Ariel down for a nap but it didn't take.
9:30 We rode our bikes to the library.
10:15 Storytime.
11:15 Rode our bikes back home. Alex was driving me CRAZY. Apparently if his bike moves under it's own weight, that means he's going to fast. The way to the library is slightly uphill, which means the way home is slightly downhill. Alex cried the whole way home even though he was riding his brakes. And I was shouting, "Just let go of the brakes and steer!" And he was not going fast, I was walking way faster with Adam. So I think Jeremy needs to get him going fast before we try this again, it just really pushed my buttons more than it should have.
11:30 Lunch - Ariel had sweet potatoes and string cheese.
11:45 Ariel went down for a nap. I worked on my Cake College homework (aka Michael's beginning cake decorating class). My cakes turned out fine, but I had some trouble with the frosting. I think I made the buttercream too thick and I couldn't spread it well and then it got crumbs. :( Tonight at class I'll decorate it with a rainbow, then figure out what the heck to do with a double-layer devil's food cake with pudding filling cake besides eat it myself. I'm trying to convince Jeremy to take it to work...
2:00 Ariel woke up crabbier than usual. I think she's got a tooth coming in.
Got out my 50mm lens that has been driving me crazy. This time I put the shutter speed at 1/200 sec and the pictures are in focus. So maybe I've just had the shutter speed to low before (I usually have it at 100).
Here's grouchy Ariel:
And I really like this one of Adam:
And about as good as to be expected from Alex:
3:30 I don't usually do this, but I put in Baby Einsteins for the kiddos and it took Ariel's mind off her grouchiness.
4:30 Pick up.

i can't believe you didn't tell me that you signed up for the cake class!!!! (the key is thin frosting and lots of it.)
oh, i found your flowers and sweatshirt. i'll try to get them in the mail tomorrow.
I just signed up, this is class #2. Thanks for the super fun idea. Thought today was a whole lot of work and I have a husband bitching about all the cake stuff that has invaded our house. And that frosting, I thought it was supposed to be medium, mine was probably stiff and it was supposed to be thin. Arg!
I found two pink Dagny knee highs and an orange spoon. Should I be looking for anything else?
Downhill is a killer. Ted has just about ruined his shoes dragging his feet down hills rather than use the brakes! Grrr.
Umm, can I volunteer to help with all that cake? pudding inside? chocolate? Mmmm....
That is the most sad picture. Ever.
:( :( :(
that pic of Ariel just breaks my heart. I wish I were there to cuddle her! Adam just looks so much like Jeremy. He's growing up, not so much baby fat in the cheeks. I miss him!
