So Much Laundry

I typically spend my weekends doing laundry.  It's not all I do, but I spend a good chunk of time washing, drying, folding and ironing clothes.  The weekends drive Marc crazy, because our bathroom is littered with piles of sorted clothing.   This weekend, I didn't get all the laundry done.  But I:

Took Rosie to gymnastics.  I watched her tuble and jump and waved everytime she yelled, "Mommy!" across the gym.

Watched Charlie test for his next karate belt. He now has his orange belt with a black stripe.

Played Star Wars matching game and Hello KittyUno with Charlie, Rosie and Charlie's friend Rinky.

Took Rosie to a friend's birthday party, met some of her friends' parents and watched her hug and play with her buddies.

Snuggled with my babies while we slept.

Watched PJ Masks and the Lion Guard.

Watched Charlie play in his last flag football game of the season, where he got tackle after tackle after tackle.

Cheered for Rosie as she practiced her ballet.

Went to Charlie's end-of-season pizza party, took pictures of the awards and watched Charlie be named Defensive MVP.

Held Rosie's foot and then Charlie's hand as they drifted off to sleep.

This weekend, the laundry could wait!

Flat Stanley Watches Gymnastics

My nephew Bowen sent us Flat Stanley, who went on several adventures with us, one of which was to a Maryland gymnastics meet. Go Terps!

 

 

 

Rosie's Last Athens Gym Class

In was really proud of myself - I made it through Rosie's last gymnastics class at Georgia Elite without sobbing.  Rosie, however, had this.

 She even loved the foam pit this time!

Lucky Grandma Dot got to accompany Rosie to gymnastics so I could take pictures :-)

 

Gymdawgs

On March 1, we were lucky enough to join our family for a gymdawgs meet.  We made it a girls day, with Grandma Dot, Rosie and I joining one of my mom's sisters and her children and granddaughters.  Rosie really enjoyed it, paying pretty good attention to what was happening on the floor and clapping for the Bulldogs!

 

 

We asked Rosie to smile and say cheese.  She did, but couldn't take her eyes off the gymnastics.

Gymnast Rosie

Let me apologize in advance - these were taken on my iPhone and are blurry.  It's not your eyesight - it's me!

In February, we started Rosie in the same gymnastics class that Charlie took at the same age. She wasn't too sure of this place, but she knew she wanted to be on the red carpet part.

First up was the obstacle course, and Rosie did pretty well.

She didn't follow every direction like some of the older (3 year olds) in the class, but she went through each obstacle.

And this one she did over and over, trying her best to jump from color to color.

But on the third round of the obstacle course, Rosie was not thrilled trying a front roll.

So on to the Tumble Track! Rosie loves this part, and again, tries so hard to jump.  But she really ends up running.

The balance beam? Not so much.

But, oh, the foam pit! It is her favorite. She loves to be thrown in and pulled out, and then thrown in and pulled out again and again and again.

And she is just as thrilled about stamps as Charlie was.

Since this first class, Rosie has done so very well.  She hasn't cried and has only fussed a bit.  (Stubborn girl!) She listens well, waits her turn and tries her best on each area in the gym.
