The GA Guinn Trips

The day started off great. 

At 3am, Alyssa, who had conned mommy  into letting her into her bed, by having a complete fit because of the thunder storm, fell out of the bed, which is about 3.5 feet off the ground.  Luckily she was sleeping upside down in the bed, so she missed the steps that allow the girls to get into bed with daddy when he sleeps in.  She was fine just a little freaked out!

We got up that morning and headed to swim lessons.  The girls had to swim in their full clothing: Pants, long sleeve shirts, socks and shoes, and a jacket.  Makenna, of course, freaked out!  Isabelle did great until Mrs. Gina did the flip into the pool to simulate a fall and Issy FREAKED OUT! 

Alyssa, however, did AMAZING!!! She did all the floating and swimming passes needed.  She then did the flip without a problem (and declaring it FUN as she floated on the surface.)  Mrs. Gina put a towel over her face and she removed it without an issue.  So she officially graduated from swimming lessons.  She will continue to go through Tuesday and then for a few days when we get back from the beach!  But it is just to keep her skills improving. 

After that, we went home, and I ran a few errands.  When I got home, I was getting ready to leave with Makenna and Issy (Alyssa is spending the night with Nana and Poppa because our replacement crib tent hasn't arrived yet.)  We were fixing to walk out the door when my cell phone rang.  The call was from our local school district where I have worked off and on for almost 7 years.  The job I had interviewed for in June was mine.  I go to sign my contract Monday afternoon!  I am so excited, but a bit nervous to be leaving the classroom.  I just can't believe I got the job!  I will be a KEYS team specialist, which is about all I know about the job, because it is a brand new position and the county hasn't figured out exactly how the position will work.  Its crazy, but a load off my mine, and now I can get to planning our beach trip for next week! 

Overall its been a GREAT day!
