I love days like today. We started our day out at 9 am at the annex building getting our carseats inspected. We bought Takara a carseat not too long ago and it just didn't fit right. The buckle that is supposed to sit at the chest was up by her throat so a good portion of the time we didn't even buckle it...definately not safe. Luckily the inspector was able to figure it out and we got the girls anchored in and properly adjusted, phew! While we were in the room getting the girls weighed and measured to make sure they were in the proper size carseat they must have found a button and pushed it. I had no idea and while we were waiting the Powell Law Inforcement flooded in one by one. Hmmm I thought, what is going on? They were informed that it was a false alarm and that my kids must have pushed the button. I looked around and said, my kids? Well since we were the only people in the building besides the workers at their stations it was pretty easy to figure out who the "little" fingers belonged to :)

Next we went to gymnastics. I love and dread gymnastics. I love to get my girls out and involved in different activities. Normally Takara will not cooperate at all except when it comes to the balance beam. The instructors have tried and tried to get her to do the stretches and floorwork and she would refuse and they would push her from one side of the mat to the other. This was the case through the entire winter session of gymnastics and all last week of the summer session. Today I don't know what clicked but she did EVERYTHING. Even somersaults! She has never attempted one by herself and any time I tried to help her at home she would get embarrassed and be done. I was so proud and everyone kept looking at me like what the heck just happened? Now the dread part. Kimi wants to get in the middle of everything. While all the other parents get to sit in the chairs and watch their kids and hold their little ones on their laps, I'm constantly chasing Kimi around trying to keep her off the equiptment and out of the way of the other kids. If I pick her up or try to hold her she throws a screaming fit and it gets really hard to wrestle her the bigger that I get.

After gymnastics we went to McDonalds to do visiting teaching and that went great! The girls actually ate their food and I had a good visit with Lisa and Vanessa! I love having tons to do during the day. It makes everything so much fun and thats why I love summer!
