Zoe's skating lessons are back, went skating with her tuesday and then went skating with Lucas on wednesday. Zoe was SOOOO proud to show me a few skating moves, I still can't break though! LOL! Poor girl when she'd fall, I'd skate around and around until I could stop and help. It was pretty funny and brought a few giggles to both of us. ;) I CAN skate on one foot and backwards though, I didn't think I could even do that. Must be that my 4 year old teacher is pretty good. ;) She's asking that I trade in my black hockey skates for white figure skates like her. ;)
Lucas on the other hand.... he was.... well, he's not even 3 yet. ;) He just wants to skate, not learn to walk on ice and then start to glide and skate, he just wants to skate and NOW! So Carl and I held his hands and had him skate with us. He did do a few steps on his own and we encouraged him when he did but then, he'd fall down and was very insulted! ;) One of the skating school directors said we should bring Lucas in for a lesson tonight but I knew he'd be too tired as he didn't even take a nap vefore going to skate. He might get his 1st lesson on friday though! Woohoo! I want to try to find him some figure skates by then, black ones are really too expensive which are typically those boys use. Being crafting I'll try to find white ones and (I wouldn't even care if he skated with those skates) we might try to paint/stain/color them black. They'll cost a fraction of the price and then my boy would be the happiest on the ice. I've had fun skating these past two days and think I will go back again soon. There's free ice time everyday for one hour, it feels good to exercise a bit and to share a sport both kids seem to like! :)
OH, 1st sleeve on my top secret sweater is DONE!!! :) You have no idea how busy we have been, this is such an accomplishment! lol! Won't have time to cast on the 2nd sleeve before tonight and maybe I will find time.
Thursday morning(ACK! that's today!!!) is my job training, it'll be about 4 hours, I am very excited and eager to get started! WOOHOO!!!!!!! I can't wait to see my very first paycheck with my name on it. :)
hugs,
p/s: Talked to the skating school person in charge and they could care less if Lucas had white skates, they asked if he would mind. I explained how figure skates in his mind were meant to be white. They thought it was too cute and will welcome him wearing white skates friday. Hopefully I won't have to work then, I just can NOT miss his 1st lesson!!!
