4 towns, a giant bug and the swim team

So here is how our morning started out we went to Albuquerque, drove through Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, went to Corrales stopped at the Water Gardens store and bought a bunch of oxygenator plant, some water lettuce and mosquito fish for our ponds then back home to rest up till swim team tryouts in yet another town in the evening.....yea some days are just like that....good thing G1 made the team and so did her friend! So we can officially add that to our schedule on an almost daily basis......if she is happy we are happy so we will drive her even if sometimes I grumble because I am tired of driving it is just one of those parent support things right?! She was so excited she was trying to sign it to me from across the pool that she got in and honestly I just could not understand but she said later she was trying not to be too excited AND she got to do butterfly at the tryouts which made her day...she loves Fly-crazyhead girl.

G1 was telling me her swimming is partially thanks to this Wii game Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games (Wii) uhhuh whatever but she does love her video games lol--see how Sonic (the blue one) jumps into the pool feetfirst-a very good G1 likeness- lets just hope that is one of the first skills she works on at swimming because she has the funniest dive or jump I should say...



And just to keep up our bugs of New Mexico this was taken with our crappy phone camera and is some type of a Sphinx moth but I did not get to see it's abdomen--wish I could ID it now but I found this great site to look them up--for all over North America I believe this one was appx 31/2" long and we did not get to measure his wing span but it had to be significant. They are coming to our yard because we are planting some night blooming plants such as the native Jimson weed (beautiful plant but don't eat it please)


And now I have to get back to sewing lots of projects going on-lots of everything going on for that matter....
