Piling on the Chaos
Since life in the house of chaos wasn’t busy enough, I just had to add another activity {twice a week} into the mix.
The Twins starting taking swimming lessons again! It’s been a couple years since they have been in actual classes, even though they swim often with us and on vacations.
The girls do enjoy their time in the pool yet with Cheerleading {three times a week + competitions}, Guides and Sparks – I’m all over the place with these three kids!
Maybe being this busy will make the Winter pass quicker?
Right? … RIGHT?!
Also – I love when spontaneous photos turn out so great, see the heart?

How do you do it?! I keep the extra curriculars to only on the weekends because I find homework/dinner/afterschool too crazy to get everyone out.
I time manage and plan ahead a lot. I try and keep weekends open, yet lately with the competitions even that isn’t going so well. I’m either really going to love the lazy Summer days or I won’t know what to do with myself. Go go go!! lol
Oh isn’t that cute heheh!
Have a pooltastic week ;_0
I remember those days, gymnastics, competitions, traveling, swimming, competitons, traveling cheerleading, competitions traveling lol
Oh yes, I live in my van. Not by the river mind you, but still – I live in my van.
;P
Thankfully our daughter decided she wanted to try out judo like her older brother so they go on the same nights. And her weekend gymnastics ends this month. I was aiming for getting them both in swim lessons for weekends but the spots filled up by the time I went on.
They fill up so fast! I made a quick decision when I enrolled them, purely based on ‘wow, there’s actually spots!!’. Then, afterward I pouted a little. lol
The things we do for our kids!!! 😉
I love the pose!
Both smiling so pretty; great pic of them Tamm
Thanks Gramma!
🙂
Love it 🙂
You are officially supermom! The pose is super cute!
That is a really nice shot of your girls. It looks like they are enjoying the addition of this activity too.
Very cute pic!
Very cute! 🙂
Thanks Nicole!
They are just too cute! Great shot!
Thank you Amy!
🙂
Fantastic photo. We’ve been struggling with just the everyday chaos and have limited extra activities to once a week.
No wonder I get so restless when there’s really nothing ‘to do’, I have a really hard time relaxing now. Hmmm, something to think about …
Your girls sure are photogenic Tammi!
Thanks Caryn, they love to pose for the camera! 🙂
Adorable! ^.^
Thank you!

that is a wonderful photo for the memory album! My mother always said, if you want something done, ask a busy person; if you want something done well, do it yourself. Methinks you cover both of these!! YAM xx
Awe, that is a great saying. Thank you, I have to agree on that. Go big or go home!! 😉
Have a great rest of the week!
🙂
Aww sweet picture 🙂
Thank you Claire!
They look like they are happy, and having fun! So cute!
Thanks Alissa, they LOVE being in the water!
Ahh such beauties! My little one is only 3 1/2 so we’ve been doing various lessons for a while but so far we’ve been able to keep it down to one activity at a time. I’m sure that will change…..
Up until this year we were a 1 activity per kid family, but then it all changed. It’s definitely something to get used to!
Wow I’m glad those days are behind for me now my kids are grown – too busy! Cute pic.
how was the adjustment after years of go go go?
You definitely are busy! And here I moan and groan about dance once a week… LOL. I’ve got nothing on you!
Speaking of swimming though, I MUST remember to enroll my daughter the next time registration opens. I must. I must.
I have to admit, when Sparks was cancelled for this week, I did a little dance. lol
🙂
Awe. Too sweet.

Thanks Joyce!
🙂
I do see the heart! This capture is SO fun!! Happy WW!
🙂 Have a great week Cathi!
How cute-all those activities, how do you stay sane? Looks like they love it though..
I don’t know … I really don’t know.
Ha! 🙂
Great to hear that they have resumed swimming. My youngest recently just started her swimming lesson.. and I hope that she is enjoying her time in the pool.
They are kinda like, ‘what do you mean I can’t just swim and play?!!?”
🙂
Yes! I do love when spontaneous photos turn out perfectly. So cute.
You can try and try sometimes and come up with ‘meh’ shots, but then when you least expect … love that!
🙂
Wow just reading about your activities made me tired! The picture of your girls looks great!
Zzzzzz, what was that? lol
So adorable!!!
Thanks Shana, Have a great rest of the week!
Wow, That aquatic centre looks amazing! Of course not nearly as cute as your twins. Love their pose! My triplets began their first swimming lesson last Saturday. It was a success for two thirds of the party.
Ahhh triplets! You blessed mama you! Thank you and it’s a good pool, close to the house as well. Bonus!
We have taekwondo (4 times a week as Miss 10 is the National Junior Champ), netball and gymnastics in our house, it really is a juggling act!
Ahh, you have a house of chaos too – cheers!!
🙂
I DO see the heart, lovely photo 🙂
Thanks Alicia!

Gorgeous girls , a mother of twins is always busy but at least we can sometimes have 2 at the same activity at the same time (I have 7yr old twin boys)
Ahhh, for now. My girls have been asking to go in different things now, different interests what!?!? Oh boy, I need another me!!
Beautiful Photo and I definitely do see the heart in the middle!
So busy! right now we are on school holidays here in Australia, so I’m loving a break from the activities and schedules that seem to rule our lives during school terms! Swimming is one of those things that is so important though, so good for you for fitting it in! 🙂 Popping by from Wordless Wednesday.
they look like two little superstars. Thanks for sharing this adorable photo.
Yes all the activities can wear you out and make you run crazy but you know if more parents got their children into activities and spent more time with them, we might not have so many juveniles in trouble! You are a great mom! Thanks for always sharing something special, Jessica
It is really busy now, but they will grow away soon enough! Enjoy all that you can while they are home still and be thankful that they (and you) have the abilities and opportunities to partake in all that you do! 🙂
Reminds me of when my older girls were little – gymnastics, sparks, swimming – I haven’t put my younger two in anything yet – but I’m looking forward to the spring to put them in some activities before my youngest starts JK.
Adorable photo! It reminds me of my synchronized swimming days.
