Regan did great in her first and only 8 and under USA swim meet. She placed 6th in the 50 free, 2nd in 25 fly, 5th in 25 back, and 12th in 50 breast. Sadly, she'll age up on her birthday and have to swim with the 9 and 10 year olds. She's right on Maddy's tail time wise. Needless to say, Maddy has decided that she wants to begin swimming when volleyball is done. Not about to be outdone by her little sister. Regan, ever the perfectionist, is mad that she didn't place first in everything. Geez...
We, or should I say I, am busily preparing for our fourth annual Haunted Train Party in San Marcos. I have plans to really pump up the "scare" factor this year. My big problem is deciding how scary is too scary. I can deal with bad dreams for one night, but I don't want to scar the kids for life. It's ok to make one of your own kids, or nieces or nephews cry, but you feel a little bad when y0u make someone elses kid cry. Amazing how many people out there really, really get into Halloween. Lots of websites and blogs to get ideas from. A really good one to check out is pumpkinrot.com. This guy goes all out. Did you know that soaking or washing clothes in woolite, or almost any other detergent makes it glow in black light? Fabulous weather here for a change! Low 70's and clear sky!!! We don't get many of these days. Think I'll get out and enjoy it!
