"Ya, of course we are, girlfriend...! It's totally awesome!"

That is Sarah, (aged 7) on the phone with her dear friend Caedy Jones...they're discussing the upcoming sleep-over that has been in the works for months. Holy smokes, when did my seven year old turn 15? Very scary...kinda funny, but, also scary...life is rolling away too fast these days. 

We had a great week. Started off low-key on Monday, Sarah and Sammy had gymnastics (which they LOVE!) Zoe is a few months away from being old enough (she turns three in January) so, she drives me CRAZY saying "me bigger now, mama...me bigger! Me do bamastics!!!" I don't think I'm going to make it to the next session.

Our homeschool co-op group met on Friday and we continued our study on our composer and artist from the medieval era and nature study...the kids had to make 'paint' from natural resources, like artists from the 1300's would have done. Really cool. They used curry and flower petals and juice from berries and rock dust and squished them and made 'pastes' from them...the colours were really awesome! Can't wait to see what they'll paint at our next meeting!

My work-out schedule is settling in a little better. Mondays I'm teaching a Step class at the YMCA (LOVE Step) and I'm also going to get a swim in after that. Tuesdays, I'm teaching a Yoga/Pilates class in the afternoon (while kids are in swimming) and hopefully a run later that day. Wednesday, I'll get a bike ride in (that was a highlight of the week last week...Sam and Z and I rode our bikes to Shell Park and Sammy got to ride his bike in the skate boarding/bmx ramp area because we were there all alone!!! Zoe chased around behind him and they had a ball.) Thursday I'll teach a cardio class with weights and then Friday, Hot Yoga in the morning, run in the evening. Saturday, bike and swim and Sunday, rest.

Todd and I have decided to start to start training for a triathlon next year...so, this is the begininning of our training schedule. More on that later...

Better run, I have a half naked little girl climbing up the counter looking for gum...never a dull moment!
