Satisfying Saturday

We had a full, nice satisfying day!  We had our Grammie/Y break in the morning and then off to swim lessons!  
The Y is getting a new entrance!  Kind of exciting!!!

Oliver wanted to tell Allie all about his book he 
started writing with Grammie!


He started to practice side breathing in the pool!

Mommy is proud of this swimmer!


After he wanted to drink hot cocoa and write
his book.  Please, please, let this passion continue!!!

He discussed his book with another Y girl, Jill!

We went home for awhile and then went to one
of our favorite races of the year, Light the Night
Against Crime with Grammie and Grandpa!

He was excited on the drive there.

Oliver chose to be a Game Warden again.
Mommy likes this sweet picture!



Oliver really gets into character.
Mommy was wearing a costume too.


Grammie teaching Oliver about grenades.  Interesting.

Yippie!

Its always nice to have Oliver at the end
of her races!  Grandpa said that Oliver will
be up until Tuesday because he collected and
ate so much candy while Mommy was racing!

 This made Mommy giggle.



It looked like Grammie was dancing....

Then we came home and Grandpa turned on
the news.  We heard Grammie and Grandpa
laughing, they spotted Mommy and Oliver
on the news!!!

(Can you spot Mommy?)


Oliver playing in the SWAT vehicle.  Grandpa
says they did some good editing, because as
soon as Oliver saw the camera he hid his head
and batted away the camera.  



This is Oliver's reaction to seeing himself on TV:
First he laid down and squirmed back and forth
all funny then he got real tired and rubbed his eyes.
Mommy will show him again tomorrow!


(Goodnight!!!)

Update:  Grandpa found more news clips from other channels!


Mommy left her stuff at the Y booth before the race
because she couldn't find Grammie, so she went to
pick it up.  Can you spot Mommy?  Giggles!

Writer

On the way home from school Oliver was writing!  He wrote his own book at the Y, and was the proud owner of a Pac-Man story!  He was really excited about it!

He read it to Mommy and asked for an eraser so he could fix some spelling mistakes and found something hard to write on in the backseat!  He was dedicated!  Mommy is going to nurture this new passion.  She hopes this continues!  Please, please, please.



Writing and reading.
(Look at his shirt!)

Happy Friday!  We are off for something to eat and good sleep.

Homework Club

We had a nice evening at home together.  We had homework club on our own tonight and it was a success!  Oliver was a goofball in between each homework assignment:

Goofball putting marbles in his eyes!


Oliver is becoming pretty fluent with his math
facts. Mommy used her stopwatch for him to 
practice tonight, he liked that!

Goofball!

Silly head!

We went to be early tonight.  Oliver read all of his
book to Mommy!  (Mommy is ready for some rest.)

(Goodnight and sweet dreams.)

Swim


We had a nice swim tonight!  It was nice seeing Y friends and having a together night!




Fall and Winter swims are fun, the pool is so quiet!

No floaties anymore!




We love that we got to swim with Sharon tonight!
It is her BIRTHDAY!  She also sang Yankee
Doodle Dandy to Oliver!  


Oliver had a little hot cocoa, with a magic Allie touch 
to it!  Mommy is proud of her, she got a part-time
reading job from her interview last week!  Yahoo!!!

We did our nightly reading while we drank our
warm drinks.  It was nice sitting in the new lounge area.
 (Mommy needed to sit for a while
and just think.)  

He was asleep by the time we got to Grammie's to
water the plants and flowers!  

Happy Monday!
