A swimmer is born

We pass the pumpkin patch everyday on the way to Maya's school, and Ashton is forced to go by, pointing like he wants to go, yet never able to get out of the carseat. Poor little guy. Him and I handled the store today, full of moms with their kids, we bucked the trend and cruised Trader Joes without a list and on a mission to find good snacks at not the mommy price.  Picked Maya up and had picture day pickups.  Ashton fell asleep as usual and used that as his excuse for a nap. 
We had Maya's swim lessons and Maya is a champ.  She figured out that when she kicks really hard and moves her arms that she moves. So she spent all lesson just cruising at rapid fire arm speed not moving much but with huge effort in her new found talent.  On the way home we rocked out to music doing the crazy Ashton head bang dance. Funny at the pool there is a dad who I think is a pretty handsome looking gent.  Maya saw him today and said " Daddy look there is a daddy that looks like you"  Alrighty!
Ashton likes seaweed unless he is really tired and just done, where he then throws a fit and needs to retire. We watched the first game of World Series together and wrestled some until mom came home and made us behave. 
Maya and Ash helped me clear out the tomato bushes from the garden. Maya found a caterpillar and fell in love, while Ashton dug out grubs and smashed them with the shovel. We had our first raspberry that Maya had the honors of taking to palate.
