cookie baking season

We had our first 'cookie marathon' last Saturday. Made two batches of sugar cookies and one batch of chocolate chunk cookies. Yum Yum!!


Yes, the only icing on hand was pink. The pumpkins and leaves tasted good no matter what color they were!



Another swim lesson day. #4's first day. I am such a nervous wreck on swim lesson days...I know these are highly qualified ladies teaching our kids...but the water is so deep and I'm so far away....must release the control issues.....
So everyone survived another day of lessons ;) Today was a Safety day in which they went over rules and skills in which they could help someone in the water even if the lifeguard wasn't around.
Yes, the pictures are from a distance. I need to stay back, so I don't become that parent.

#4 jumped off the diving board twice. I was glad to see a bit of caution in the boy. He is a busy, adventurous boy in general!

#2 pulling someone in.
