Baking Day at the Johnsons!

Today was baking day at the Johnsons and we had a fun day with family. We decorated Christmas cookies, made lots of treats and spent time laughing and planning our holiday time! I finished the shopping for the twins. I think they are going to have a great time opening their presents! We talked about how much we have and how nice it is to share with others. We are taking care of a black lab for the holidays! Nika is her name and she is so cute. We have known her for so long and really are going to learn what it is to have a dog around our house again. I hope we get use to it, we are getting a dog in the spring for our home. Tomorrow we will finish our shopping for the rest of the family and wrap presents!

Survived the Christmas Party

We survived the Christmas Party! The girl didn't get to go, she woke up at five with fever. Thank goodness my parents were back from Hawaii, so they watched her. The class made cute people that I put together for a Christmas tree of children. I really think it turned out cute! I think that the table crafts turned out great and I love the ornament the kids did. Our teacher got lots of great gift cards! I was so tired, we had left overs and went to bed early!

I'm back....it has been kinda crazy here!

Ok, friends...I'm back. I had this crazy week with Halloween and work...excuses, excuses...but, I am back...
Couple of cute things to share that makes me smile...the twins are say the funniest things...

Gboy was looking at his state map, into going to visit our friends in Conn...and looking at all the places we have been, of course disney and ohio...but, then he says..."Mama, I just want you to take me to France and Cisco to see that golden gate bridge...I just said where...I had to here him say it again, france and cisco mama....so funny...So one day, I promise I am going to take him to San Francisco...and I will smile.

Halloween was wonderful...they loved it, Mimi walked around with us..Pirate day in Kinder was a success...and I really love all the pictures from that day.

I got their report card, and they are doing wonderful. They both are above average...and really on their way to really taking off reading...I love watching them grow.

Work is good, and tennis, dance, and soccer is going great. We have our soccer team party tomorrow night.

Can't forget to mention the OSU game...Unbelievable is the only word for it. Hook em horns!
We had early release today and we got to go to the market, get flu mist, and play at Mimi's while mommy had the twins conference. I forgot that Gboy had a sinus infection last week too, so that meant a trip to the good old doctor G. So, I hope I caught you up...Our friend Avery and her mama came over for a fajita party and bath time...fun...we miss ya...

i promise i will be better about writing...mackenzi! have a great day! I forgot it's white week.

Busy weekend working on school stuff, and the house

Friday was a calm evening with McDonalds for the kids and us going to bed early. Saturday was yummy breakfast taco morning, and watching the LONGHORNS WIN@ home! Yeah! Sunday had Sunday school and working on work stuff at home. It was a well needed boring weekend. I loved it! My twinners went to some halloween activities and we ate a yummy dinner at sisters. Mimi and Bumpy came to see the owl and we read, showers, and crawled in bed. It's black week and the big pirate day. They are so excited for Halloween! I can't wait to see them! I remember when they did it when they were two and asked me the next day after we had trick or treated why we don't do this everyday. They were so cute and funny! The Cowboy and the Cowgirl are going to look really cute!

Ate dinner at Mimi's

School was great, and the twins are telling everyone about our new owl. We ate at mimi's tonight and the kids were playing with bumpy. They like to play sorry and this pebble game outside. Mom and I just talked about life. Work is going ok, and I am going home to clean the house up, and get ready for the group to come watch Grey's....I like my little crew in my house for the show.

We have an OWL!

We were so excited to find an owl in our owl box afterschool today in our backyard. We had a friend over, and the kids spotted it! That evening we saw him again! It was really exciting!....We ate together with Aunt Jolie and Thomas. It was yummy and G girl had a great dance class. Just trying to catch ya up on the week.

We brought our pumpkins to school today!

It was pumpkin day at school and the twins brought their pumpkins to school. Some mean boy told G boy that his pumpkin was not good, or something like that and made my boy cry. I am so angry that kids can say such mean and not true statements....why? I try to teach my children to be kind and use kind and loving words to their friends, each other, and even strangers. I have taught them that sometimes we talk about things or people who we see different as a family, where we can express ourselves in a trusting environment. Example: G girl sees someone at school that is in a wheelchair, doesn't say anything at school and comes home or in the car (can't remember) and asks why they look "weird and scary" We then talk about it as a family...talk about how God makes everyone and everything different. And he isn't weird or scary, he is just different than we are. He is happy and loved by his family. Sometimes we look different, Halloween, when we are sick, even with bed head! but we are loved and we need love. I really didn't expect to go off like this, but I wish that boy would say kind things. I hate to see my boy sad about such a stupid thing someone said. Also a boy elbowed mine in the side at the soccer game on saturday, because mine made a goal and got it past him. I told the other coach while I was out there coaching and watched the whole thing go down. I would have made that boy get off the field, he just said..." we don't hurt other people or elbow people" no apology, no time out. The boy just looked at me, like I got away with it. I would have taken my boy out of the game if he or the girl did it. Wrong, what are we teaching our kids. It is ok to hurt others.
Oh-well...it was a good day, let the kids stay up a little and watch a halloween type show on disney. They were so cute, sitting on the red chair together with a blanket snuggled up. I love it when they have their twin time. It makes me smile! Tomorrow will be Brown day...wish Mackenzi could see the cute outfit....i know miss kimmmie will tell her all about it!
