Swimming, FHE and art

Well, we went to the pool yesterday. The kids have gotten so much more comfortable in the water! K is doing loads of handstands! She does them very well, with pointed toe and everything. She has also increased her lung capacity as is evidenced by her ability to stay under water longer.

S. got up the nerve yesterday to put her entire head under the water! She would go under and walk around. That was cool.

J. had a scary moment yesterday in the pool, but he is excited to go back to the pool shortly!

Anyway, FHE was great last night. We cut out pictures out of the Ensign and maybe the Friend. The Ensign has such beautiful pictures! We were going to hang them in the kids room, but after hanging 2 we ran out of tape! So today we will be off to the store to buy some. Then all of these beautiful pictures can go up!

I have thought a lot about the importance of having uplifting art in the kids bedrooms, however I'm sad to say that it took me a long time to finally work on it. I have told the kids that we can put them in a folder so that don't get ruined on our trip back and when we get back to NY we can buy frames and hang them in their bedrooms. They were very happy about that.
