Pirouettes & Parties

This morning Amy had her first ballet lesson. She no longer goes to Stagecoach (I think she may have been a bit too young - it does last quite a while for a 4 year old) and instead she goes to 30 minutes ballet at the gym.

It works quite well cos it means that Steve and I can take Ben swimming whilst she pirouettes in the dance studio above our heads.

Later today we went to the local Pet store to buy some fish. Ben has taken a real shine to our scaly friends and we thought it would make an easy pet. Fish are more complex creatures than I thought though as you have to let the tank settle for a minimum of 48 hours before you can move them in so we brought the tank today and will go back next week to pick up Snoopy & his as yet unnamed companion (I have no idea why Amy has chosen the name Snoopy!)

Then even later still today we headed off to Riverside for Evie's 6th birthday party. She was having a swim party and whilst Steve and Amy went to the Learner Pool for an hour of splashing about on an inflatable polar bear. Ben and I went to Kool Kids (the soft play area). It was very busy with another birthday party going on in there. After swimming they had a lovely tea and a bit of a run around. Sadly no pictures from Evie's party as we left the camera behind!

They were both completely popped tonight and went off to sleep without a murmur.
