Swim Team

Swim team clinics have begun and so has the huge commitment to the sport. Coco has decided to take it on again this year and we have agreed to take on the large amount of time that is devoted to it. It amazes me to see these little ones jumping in the pool rain or shine and swimming their little hearts out. The first day was a little rocky for Coco but since then she has regrouped and seems thrilled to be headed to the pool in the afternoons. So here's to another year as a Laguna Creek Gator - we shall see how it goes!!!!

Coco Quote

Coco: "Mom did you know that I wake up in the middle of the night and draw?"

Me: "Yes, I had an idea." (I know this because almost every morning you can find her drawings scattered across her bed and floor.)

Coco: "I just have so many beautiful things in my head mom and I want to draw them all."

Me: "I know Coco, I know ..... :) "

Photo Friday!!!

Yep, she's in a box........

Coco Art

Coco Loco's quote of the day:

Coco: "Mom I can't wait until I am dead."

Me: "Why?"

Coco: "Because when you are an artist and you die then they put your artwork in a museum and I really want my art in a museum."

Karate Promotion

Both the girls were promoted to Orange Belt in karate recently. Kovar's Karate is one of the best things that has happened for them, especially Abi. It has boosted her confidence more than anything she has ever done. The instructors are just amazing and funny too!! Coco is pictured with Mr. Kelly. He is not only a fantastic instructor but has quite the sense of humor as you can see :) Thanks Kovars for being such a positive influence in my children's live.

Vegetables For Sale

Coco's school has been growing a vegetable garden this summer. Upon arriving to pick her up one afternoon I found this nifty little stand sitting in the front of the school. I love this idea! I think it would be fun to adapt it to our neighborhood. If we charge then we could use the money to buy new seeds or maybe we could even set up a swap with other neighbors and their excess crops.

I love how her school used every nook and cranny of their small outdoor space to plant. The kids have been so involved and really care about their garden. Coco was so excited to pick out a vegetable to buy. She made sure to bring a quarter from her piggy bank and then she carefully looked over every vege in the basket. Her final decision? A bell pepper - yum.

Go Coco

Coco is trying her hand at swim team this summer. She is a "Mini" Gator and doing very well. I just can't resist her in this suit, cap and goggles - adorable!!!!
