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!

It was cool and rainy...Monday Monday

It is brown week at Kindergarten, and the twins woke up in the best mood, they had slept 12 hours! So tired after a busy weekend. I forgot to send their special pumpkin....bad mommy. I will send it tomorrow. I did pack a halloween cookie for the kiddos and their teacher today in their lunch box. I worked all day and picked up the twins at walker area. They looked super cute in their matching Halloween outfits. Her shirt was orange, his black...hers with a witch and his with a dancing skeleton. It was cold and wet, them in their boots...it was really cute to see them. I don't want them to get any bigger. I made soup for sister and the kids...yummy...and off to showers and bed. It was a fun day and I know that tomorrow will be a new library book. We began reading Magic Tree house story tonight. G boy was really into it!

Sunday School, Peter Pan Golf, and goodbye

It was a very busy weekend. We woke up and were off to Sunday School and the twins played on the playground with their grandparents while I spoke to the RCIA group at church. It was difficult to talk about the loss of Mike, and those sad memories, but good to know that I can help others get through difficult times. I just wanted to hug my twins tighter afterwards. We headed to Whole Foods to eat lunch. It was yummy, and took some cool pictures at their pumpkin patch. The pumpkins were bigger than the twins. We went to Peter Pan golf to play putt putt. It was so funny to watch the twins who had never done it before. I laughed so hard as we played. I remember playing their with Mike on one of our dates, and never thought about what it would be like with my twinners...We went home and said goodbye to the grandparents. Had dinner at sisters...and came home to crash. I have so much laundry to do, but it will have to wait till tomorrow.

Saturday was fun and full of excitement

LONGHORNS WIN! That was the best thing of the day! Mom as the coach was pretty good too. We had so much fun as a family. G and G both scored four goals each. Both grandparents were there to watch. We dropped off one of our soccer girls at her church for a basketball thing, and headed to Central Market for lunch. We had a yummy lunch and headed to the fair. The kids loved the fair and all the things to do and eat.....cotton candy, snow cones...JUNK FOOD....oh well, give it up mom to expect them to eat only healthy things. My niece went and got me a big drink at Sonic...I could have given her a million dollars...I was so thirsty. Then home, shower, church and out to dinner with the grandparents. We went to get ice cream last and then off to bed. We have sunday school tomorrow. It will be a busy day. Shout out to M and S who we saw at the fair. They are the cutest girls I know! Hi to Nanook and her pillowcases...we have to get a LONGHORN one! hookem

Busy Lunch, Bowling, and Bike riding

G and G woke up with a morning surprise...white doughnuts from the monkey teacher. They loved them, thanks! Then it was off to school with pink show n tell. G girls big pink bunny came, and auntie j's pillow was g boy's item. I picked up Mc Donalds for them to eat with their grandparents from chicago. I also found some very fun halloween cupcakes for them. They enjoyed lunch and I picked them up early to go bowling. They had fun, went to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins for school, and then to Red Robin to eat dinner. After dinner, they went for a bike ride, and came home for a bath. They are off to bed, and as I write this so am I! I have to coach soccer. Scary! Game at ten.

Pool day for the twins and mom

We went to the pool after work and school. It was cold at first, but we had fun. We hadn't been swimming in a long time. We were the only people at the pool, so the life guards had to just watch us. We ate a yummy dinner, thanks to the W family! It was yummy. We had some family time, showers and they wanted to watch a little tv on disney. Some funny movie, I worked with one of my teachers...she is so excited about all the neat things she is doing in her room. I love watching her excitement. It reminds me of when I was a new teacher. I worked with middle school teachers, kinda crazy. Busy day tomorrow. Their grandparents from Chicago are here to spoil them. We are going to go take the twins lunch, and then go bowling that afternoon. Hope all goes well.

Three in the bed and the little one said...roll over!

There were three in my bed and the big one said...." I am not getting any sleep!" I love that book with the rhyme, "Three in the bed and the little one said roll over, roll over!" G boy made it to school in his PINK shirt and the girl matched...he looks so good with that dark hair and blue eyes in pink...i was worried about the pink color for pink day, but all is well...my boy is macho! I worked at school today, so I was so close by...I wish I could watch them in those four walls...they would make me smile! The boy went to mimi's during dance and my girl was the cute little balerina...she loves to dance and move! It is great exercise and she loves the prissyness of it! Tomorrow will be a quiet day...I hope. My sweet A friend brought us a yummy dinner and a crazy birthday surprise today...just love that girl. Her little boy came over and found my fridge magnets that are gears...guess that entertained him. But a shout out to the super cute A boy...love his cheeks! We made it through dinner, yummy at mimi's, showers and songs. Love those twinners.

Library Day at school

It's pink week and my twins were so excited to be back at school. G girl forgot her library book, but I happened to be there and saw her teacher. I raced home to get her book, she was very excited to get to check a new one out. A boy in their class broke his wrist on the playground. G boy has been having a tummy ache and I'm up now with him in my bed. I hope he doesn't throw up...we have the bucket and everything. I called my mom and she is on call for the am. I have so much work tomorrow it is crazy....I hope we get a good night sleep. Some how I think we aren't....I'm scared! I had my cute Noah's Ark lesson for the preschool today...it was sweet and I was so glad my friend A was with me. To bad her son wasn't...I was going to have him be Noah! cute stuff.

Christmas Pictures at the UT tower! Fun

We went downtown today to get our Christmas pictures taken. I was excited to take some at UT and see the campus. We went to the mall and found a dress for the girl, the boy is going to wear navy blue....they are just black and white photos, so I hope it doesn't show up. There is no black shirts out for boys right now, without any words on it. We stopped by Central Market on the way home and picked up some dinner. Their favorite...salad and tortilla soup! Shower and to bed, school tomorrow!

Sunday School, Soccer, and Dinner

We went to Sunday School and G boy played Abraham in the play upstairs. He was cute and loved being in front of all the kids. We only had two boys in our room today, mostly girls. Had a short lesson, short art project and then went outside to play on the new playscape. The twins loved it and we talked with our old friends from last year. After church, we went home. I cleaned up the house some and then we got ready for our soccer game again. We went to Uncle J's for fajitas and went home early since we were very tired after a busy weekend. No school tomorrow! Let's see if they will sleep in! HAHA!

Another year older! Life as a mom

Another year older, and I can't believe that I am having a birthday! My soccer twinners played at ten, and the girl was on fire....she scored 3 or 4 goals and the boy had 2. She got the game award...yeah Lions. We got breakfast tacos on the way home! Texas won! They played great against a not so great team. I was happy. My sweet twin nieces came and picked them up, took them to buy me some bubble bath, baked a cake with them, and took them on a cool walk at Dies Ranch...they had fun together and with the dogs. Sister came over and we worked in the yard, I mowed and she picked weeds. It looks so much better. I need some plants and some mulch big time. The kids came home and we ate and watched football. The twins went to babysit, and my twins hung out and got ready for bed. They were really sweet to me, and I love my life as a mommy. Until another year, life just keep going on!

Transportation Parade Day!

Well, today was the big day! Aunt and big T picked us up and we went to school to see the big parade. The twins were so excited and loved the idea of seeing all the vehicles that their friends have. It was fun to watch the parade and big T did great! The girl looked cute in her ship and so did the boy...it was Purple show and tell today, which I forgot at home and had to go get after the parade. I went to work, kinda crazy...and then we picked up the tile from Home depot for their teachers kitchen. It is going to look good. We saw the lady bug teacher on the way home, and she came over. I love talking to her, she is such a great friend. We have snack tomorrow at soccer...hope they have a great game! And it's my birthday! So we will have a fun day! I'm going to have the kids make me a card with some fun paper and markers. I love those twinners and they will make my day special!

Soccer Practice and Pizza-Fun, Fun!

It was a very busy day, and the kids had lots of fun at school. They went to my friends who watches them on Thursday....G boy was playing basketball when I got there and he was doing so well, I didn't even know that he could make a basket. I was so proud of him, wish I could find a winter league for him...the girl was so cute in her pig tails today! She can be so sweet or so trouble....girls! I am excited that the soccer pizza party went off great! I was happy to know that we had plenty of pizza and the kids loved having friends over. I am always so proud of myself for pulling off the kids activities and making memories with them. I hope they will remember these special momments...They are so excited about the parade tomorrow! I love Kindergarten and so do they! I hope I'm not too late for my meeting, it is important that I'm with the twinners tomorrow! I had fun teaching today...it is what I like best about my days!

Monday, Monday, the alarm clock didn't work

Purple week begins, but guess what, we were a little behind the times...my alarm clock didn't work, I guess the electricity must have gone off in the night...I sneaked the twinners in on the side door, when I went to drop off , no one was there...funny...oh well...i was late for my meeting, but it was ok...got so much done at work and then off to tennis. The twins teacher came over and we hung out, ate dinner, took her son home, and then went to bed. The twins did great to tennis today! Yeah!

Sunday School, Soccer and Dinner with Sis

Purple week begins tomorrow, but we are going to start wearing our Halloween clothes. On Wednesday we will have to wear Purple, which is my favorite song to sing! We started early with Sunday School...I had the class to myself. L and P were out of town and sick...so Noah's Ark was all me. It was a cute project, and we had a great class. I need all that stuff for a chapel I'm teaching next week. I loved watching and coaching soccer today....it was so fun to watch the twins play so well. I was proud G boy had 3 goals and G girl had 1..she ran so fast...we are going to have a pizza party at our house after practice on Thursday...it will be fun. We decorated for Halloween all around out house. The twins said to me " Momma, that you for being a fun mommy to make our house decorated for Halloween. You are the best mama...." it was so sweet. I love having the house festive, and reading books all about the holidays. We have a big basket full of Halloween books. They were remembering our Disney trip and the haunted house, it was cute to relive our memories. Sis and the girls came over for dinner and decorating...it was yummy...and then I talked to R in conn and watched brothers and sisters...love that show, maybe it's because I have so many siblings....now off to bed, hoping that g girl is not coming down with something...her throat hurts.. i have a class at eight....oh well...happy purple week...

Soccer Stars and Longhorns Lose

Today the twins played great soccer, and both scored and loved playing. We went to Wendy's for lunch, had a nap and watched the longhorns lose to OU. It was a sad that the longhorns played so yuck..oh well there is next year. I took the twinners to my sisters for dinner, yummy pizza rolls. I went to the grocery store, I hadn't been in two weeks. It was two hundred dollars! Ouch! Tomorrow, we have Sunday school and more soccer! Mimi and Bumpy are off on their trip.

Cook Out Friday and we love Longhorn Football

Well, It is Friday again and time is flying by in Kindergarten. Today we wore our Texas clothes to school to support our team for OU weekend. Hope it helps. G girl looked cute in her cheerleading outfit. They had a cookout at school and their Mimi and Bumpy went and took them lunch. They loved it! I picked them up and we went fast and furious to all the stores looking for stuff for the transportation parade! I am so excited. I worked on it all afternoon and night. The cruise ship looks so real and the aircraft carrier is so close to being done. Only a couple of other things and it is done! YEAH, I want it done before Monday, I am too busy during the week to work on stuff like this. Soccer all weekend, and the big game tomorrow. Blue week was fun, they made applesauce and apple crisp today. I know they loved learning about their five senses and apples. G boy read a book to my sister today...it was cool. G girl danced around the back porch singing lots of Kinder songs. Tah Tah for now, hope everyone has a great weekend!

We are building an AIRCRAFT CARRIER!

Well, G girl had an awesome day! I do need to say...we only had a half day today! Ha Ha...so she didn't have much time to walk the dots...ok, enough about those dots....I picked up the twins and then headed to Central Market with some friends....it was nice to have the kids in the middle of the day...it reminded me of summer or last year...anyway..we bought the coolest pumpkins and I can't wait to decorate my house for fall. I am getting excited about the transportation parade in kindergarten. In a last minute, oh my gosh moment, my dad and I changed the boys vehicle to an aircraft carrier instead of a fighter jet. Our navy pilot will be here in a couple of weeks, so he will have to see the carrier instead. My dad got so into it...and it will look really cool. G boy is so excited. Bumpy will be spray painting it tomorrow. I hope it looks good. Tomorrow I will unveil the vehicle that G girl will have! Trust me, she will love it!

The girl did great at dance and the boy loved playing at Mimi's .....tomorrow I work late, soccer practice and GREY'S! We are one more day closer to OU weekend....Hope it is not a blow out...Hook em horns!

Walk the dots again and Halloween store day!

Today was another fun day at the P home! My girl was a little wild and squirt her water bottle on her brother at school today @ recess....another teacher( the monkey one) that's what G girl said, you have to walk the dots three times. G girl freaked out, and my sweet friend, another teacher, was worried about the girl. So she watched over the twins after the dot walking had finished. They love Ms. K--ee...and she always looks after them. I got a phone call from Ms. K--ee and she was letting me know my girl was not wanting me to "be sad with her" i LOVE it that I have special friends who keep me in the loop, even though I'm at another school or hopping from teacher to teacher. I really need to thank Ms. K--ee's girl that I owe a big thank you to because she reads the blog and knew about the dot! I love you M! I'm so thankful that I taught you Kindergarten and you are the amazing girl you are! Good luck in Softball this year, we can't wait to watch your first game!
We went to the Halloween store after school with L from the Ladybug class. They saw some very questionable items at the store, I freaked out! Then we went to Michaels to get stuff for the transportation parade. We came home, I mowed the lawn while the kids rode bikes...took showers and got ready for bed. Story time and prayers. Tomorrow is Early Release! We are going to the market.....we are excited!

Sign the book, walk the dots, and tennis

Today was an interesting day for the twins. When I picked them up, the boy announced that the girl had to sign the book, walk the dots and got into some trouble. She was a mess about it...oh well, let's hope whatever she did, she won't do it again. I will say..I'm not one to sign a book, walk the dots, but....I'm not the teacher. I trust her and know that the girl must have needed it. I hope we have a better day tomorrow. We went to tennis after that and it was really fun to watch them and then to sisters for a yummy dinner. I miss my sister, she is an amazing mother and friend. We came home, a little tv time since we had taken our showers. I forgot to mention I went to my brother for a little surgery on my foot....I had the biggest blood blister from that crazy ut game. He popped it and really helped it feel better. Thanks brother!

Sunday School, Soccer and School #2

Sunday is such a special day for our family. I really enjoy spending the whole day together. We went to church to teach Sunday School. The class is so cute, and the twins love to learn about God. It was creation story this morning with a very cute activity. Then we ran home to get ready for soccer. We played a girl in our Sunday School classes team. It was fun. G girl scored 2 more goals and the boy had over 7....I stopped counting! So much fun to watch them...Mimi got them a snow cone! They loved that! We got home, worked on some school stuff. The boy didn't feel great, but then he came around. We got Chinese and took it to school to work on stuff for their class. It was High School Musical night on Disney, they watched together in the girls room. Sweet...then off to bed.. We begin apple week and blue week. It will be fun. Cookout on Friday at school. It will be a busy week, but I'm sure fun!

Twins Score! Horns Lose!

What an amazing day the twins had on the soccer field. The girl got 2 goals...her first for the season, and the boy got 3! They were on FIRE! I was on time, and ready...Bumpy went to the game, and sister stopped by on the way to my nieces game. I went quickly to drop off the twins and then headed to the game! It was my first for the season...we had great seats, but...it was so terrible to sit there and watch them lose. It was mistakes after mistakes. Oh well, then the rain...it was at the end pouring as I got so wet, that everything I had on was soaking wet. I made it to pick up the twins, came home and took a hot shower...and crawled into bed with the twinners...then off to bed, we have Sunday school tomorrow!

We get Tiny Tim for the Weekend

Well, it's our turn...or should I say G man's turn to have the class mascot spend the weekend with us. When I picked up the twins, they were so excited that Mommy finally was picking them up and that the boy had the turtle for the weekend. I had a busy day at work, and was ready to settle into my house to love on my twinners. We came home, and ate a popscile. We were excited to go to soccer practice and took the turtle. We took pictures and then got Chick fil A for dinner. When we got home, we took showers and found out that mommy was going to get to go to the Texas game. So I found some friends for them to watch them for tomorrow. Next we watched a family movie and then off to bed. We are going to sleep in tomorrow.

Painting Green Turtles

We had a great day. It started with painting turtle shells in g and g's room. Then moved to another Kindergarten room, a first and second grade room. It was a busy work day. I loved getting home a little early, ate dinner together and loved on the kiddos! I love it that they can take showers by themselves and get dressed in their pj's. They were off to bed, so that I could watch Grey's! Love that show. Busy day tomorrow with soccer practice and two games this weekend.

Work, Dance, Luby's, and Home

Well, it was GREEN day at school and the twins were excited to get dressed and play on the computer this morning. The are into that webkinz stuff on the computer. I have never seen them ready for school so quick. I had a morning meeting and worked all day at cleaning off my desk, then off to my afterschool into the evening training for my job! I missed my twinkers today! They got picked up by their Bumpy and the girl went to dance...I have missed it two weeks in a row:-( and the boy just played...then the whole family went to Luby's without me....the twins ate up great my mom said...then home for bath, and teeth...and finally I appeared. I loved on the girl while the boy was on the computer...all he wanted me to do was log him on....when I laid down with him tonight, he gave me love! He talked about school and that he had to get an ice pack from the nurse...he talked about how he loves school and then we said our prayers...the girl told me how much she loves her teacher...she was making me projects to do at my work....she plays teacher all the time...wonder if she will be a fourth generation teacher....I would love that for her...it is fun to watch children learn....so off to bed...I have a busy day tomorrow...

Haircut day and a trip to the Pet Shop

Today was a fun day with the twins. We started early in our green clothes. We got to school early this morning, and I was off to the office. I had lots of work to catch up there. I work there tomorrow too, then an afterschool inservice. It is green day at school tomorrow! The boy got his haircut and we brought a friend with us, then we went to the pet store. The girl and boy enjoyed looking at the animals while I talked with the pet store guy about getting a turtle. The twins are looking for a new pet to love, I am waiting for a dog when they are SIX. I am happy with our bunny and our fishes....not them...turtles live till they go to college, the guy said...I was like, I don't want that responsibility. Just say no to turtles...then he told me about a bearded dragon lizard....it was really neat, but I would have to get it out and take it around on me...no....way....I think a fish tank with pretty fish sounds nice. Maybe for Christmas....or maybe not! Then I took the kids to get a webkin...they have been saving their money, and I told them that if they wanted to put money toward it, we could get it. The girl and the boy have been behaving really well at school. I did love g boy's hair and I loved having time with the twins today! Got their teachers volunteers organized...yeah...check check!

Tennis and Mimi's afterschool

What a busy day again. Back to work and school. The twins did great heading off to school. I had made their favorite banana chip muffins. I had to work on my presentation and get ready for my inservice this evening. I saw the twins after lunch recess and gave them some love. Then Mimi picked them up, and Bumpy took them to tennis. I forgot to pay S, and they ate dinner with the old people. I was happy to get some love from them when I got home, they were bathed and ready for bed. I let them play awhile and talked to my work partner. She was very sad due to a tragic loss of a friend. He was 25 years old and had a wife and two children. I was deeply touched by his faith, and I shared with my friend how much we don't understand God's plan, but we have faith in His plan. I sometimes wonder why God chooses people who we love so much and leaves us behind. I know that we learn lessons, but sometimes it is so hard. I hope that his wife feels the comfort of friends, family, and faith. Green week continues tomorrow.

Sunday School, Soccer, and School

Green Week begins tomorrow, and are we ready! We began early this morning with our first Sunday School class. It was wonderful to see all the children have smiles on their faces as we meet some new friends and welcomed our old ones! I love who I teach with and we get along so well. It was fun, then off to the grocery store with the twins. Crazy on a Sunday. I was thinking that our soccer game was going to be at two, but we needed to be their at 12:30 for pictures....we almost didn't make it, but the twins were amazing. The girl and boy put their shoes, shin guards, and socks on by themselves in the car! We had a potty break in the car with a cup...if you need details it was a bit wild...if you are thinking it was the boy, nope the girl....oh my. The boy was on fire in the game. He scored three and was an awesome defender. He is such a good player. The girl did great, but she is not as aggressive against boys. I had to help coach....scary! It was fun...Then I came home to fix dinner, do the laundry and get my big presentation ready for tomorrow. I hope we have a great green day tomorrow. Tennis and Mimi's.....

Festival Day at Church and the Longhorns Play

Today was a fun day. We woke up about eight thirty which was so nice! I mowed the lawn and cleaned the garage. The twins played store in the boys room. He loves to play with money. We came in and ate lunch. Then we took showers and got ready to go to the festival at church. The twins love the festival and all the games. It is fun to watch them remember it from last year. I was amazed at the boy when he ran back inside to get a bag for all this treasures. Smart thing who remembers that you get prizes from the game. It was so cute. Sissy got a bag too, and they were excited that we were going to be spinning the wheel at the cake walk. Every year we sign up to work the cake walk and make a cake. This year we were out of cakes early. I made a lemon cake...it looked yummy. Then we picked up Rudy's and ate with Mimi and Bumpy. We watched the blow out of the longhorns! HOOK EM....and finally we looked better. We watched the game there until halftime, and then came home. We have Sunday School tomorrow and it's our first class. Then to HEB, and we have soccer, and cook dinner for the cousins and sister. Busy day tomorrow! Glad we had fun at the festival and the team won big!

Show and Tell/ Friday Night Lights

Last day of yellow week and the twins had yellow show and tell. G girl brought her sunshine Carebear from her auntie and the boy took his yellow binoculars. He also found a word book that had a yellow cover on it. It is funny, but both of them are really into pointing out print. The SRP teachers told me today that they scored within one point of each other on their first screening. Funny! Sometimes I don't give that boy the credit I should. He is smart, but she has that school sense more. The teachers loved the lemon bars and the twins teacher loved the caterpillars. It was fun to put them up! We went to watch the cousins win in volleyball, and then to the high school game. It was a family affair! My twins did great and enjoyed the Friday Night Lights in Cedar Park! We are all tucked into bed and ready to sleep in tomorrow! The church festival is tomorrow, and then the Longhorn game at six! I am happy to have day off of work! Mow that grass tomorrow....it looks really high!

Picture Day at School

Today was Picture day at School for the kindergarten twins. I stressed about what I wanted them to wear, and what it will look like when we look back twelve years from now when they are graduating from high school. I couldn't decide if I should dress them in something that matched, since I know my days are numbered in that OR dress them in regular everyday clothes...I opped for the cute hawaiian twin outfit that my friend had gotten for me in Hawaii. The shirt matched the girls dress, looked so cute and hope I don't regret it one day. You know it is the pressure that one day my son's wife will say to me, "What did he look like in Kindergarten, and I will get out the picture and she will look at me, thinking-you dressed him in that..." Or my daughter will say "Why did you always put a bow in my hair?" I guess I will answer, I thought about it all night long, and this is what I did. I did it with well intensions and love. I came up, took you out of those clothes and dressed you in soccer shirts and shorts for PE. I brought you lunch with a slush and all day I thought of your first real school pictures have been taken. All these mile stones are coming so quick, and I wish I could freeze you two. You are so special and beautiful to me and I celebrate in my heart every time I get to see you, hug you, and tell you how much I love you both. You both had great days, filled with so much. I loved being in your room, making caterpillars with you and seeing you interact with each other and your friends. What a special day!

A busy day!

What a busy day! It is now ten thirty and I am just now sitting down. I worked all day and had an inservice at night. I did manage to paint with my twins class. We did the orange painting that I never got to last week and added lemons with yellow paint. How fun, we made patterns with the fruit. Some did orange lemon orange lemon...some did lemon lemon orange orange...it was really fun to watch the kids think about their pattern and then create it. It was messy and smelled yummy. My twins were really good with me there..not perfect but pretty good. We are going to make them into caterpillars tomorrow. I have another inservice tomorrow. So it will be another busy day. I really love my job, and missed the evening adventures at home. Tomorrow is picture day...hope everyone smiles great!

Another yellow day!

Today has been another yellow day! The twins stayed late with their teacher while mama had a meeting with her boss. We are having pizza for dinner and going to watch their teacher's boy, Z, play football. I taught him Kinder and he is the QB...quarterback for all you out of the football lingo...then we will stop by and see the twins play Volleyball. They are going to be surprised to see us. I am baking brownies for my teacher inservice tomorrow, and am excited to have one down and two more to go. I forgot to mention a funny of the day, yesterday...G girl was in the school library with me afterschool and was looking around while I was visiting with a new teacher and teacher trainer.....she was overheard saying to the boy, "I really like this big bookstore, it has way more books than Barnes and Noble!" Out of the mouth of babes! So cute.
G boy was so good at school today, let them watch a movie when they got home. I have to reward that good behavior. He had a big smile on his face knowing he was doing the right thing! Love those kiddos.

Yellow Week Begins

We began yellow week with a yellow lunch full of pineapple, popcorn cakes, mini sandwiches on hawaiian bread, and a yellow bag of chips. Yummy...G and G got up and put their cute outfits on, and the girls comment was " Mama, thanks for making us look like twinkers" I has hoping the boy didn't care that they matched! I thought they looked so cute, I don't dress them in as much matchy matchy stuff anymore. I do keep them in the same color, and I love that! They don't seem to mind that at all. I love celebrating their twinship. They got out of the car without any hassle and I saw them at lunch time. We celebrated their teacher's birthday with songs, cupcakes , and lunch. It was nice to see the mom's that helped and the kiddos. G girl lost her second tooth today. This makes two that I have missed, oh well. So the tooth fairy is coming tonight...can't wait to see what she brings... we had tennis lessons, ate dinner at sisters and read books and off to nighty night. Tomorrow they have done their yellow homework and ready for PE.

Great Weekend/Horns Win

Well, it has been a couple of days since I last checked in. I had a Leadership Retreat with work on Thursday and Friday, so the twins were with Mimi and Bumpy. They had fun, shield parade was long but fun, and Texas won on Saturday...barely....ouch....

Sunday has been relaxing...went to church, HEB, soccer game, and had my sister over for dinner...yummy....Grant scored his first goal of the season, and Gracelyn had some great kicks...Our team name is the Lions....Aunt Beckie and Uncle Robbie came to watch...that was sweet....

Well, Yellow week begins and I hope we all stay healthy. Tomorrow is their teacher's birthday celebration. We took her to breakfast on Saturday morning. She will like her turtle birthday tomorrow...We have tennis and dinner at sisters...sweet dreams.

Work and then play --next nap!

It is orange day at school...So off they went to school in their orange clothes and backpacks. I had thought about all the lost sleep this week, run down with the crazy night, the fact that I am going to be gone on a school retreat for two days with out the twins...I made the mommy call and told the kids I was picking them up early and taking them to lunch. They were more than excited and hopped out of the car and went to school. I had an early meeting and then to a couple of schools, then back to twins school to work on their teacher's birthday celebration. Fun, and it will be great on Monday. After painting and getting their assignments that they would miss, we headed out for lunch at Subway...well, we got it to go, and came home....it was awesome. We talked and just hung out coloring our papers, and talking about how much they love Kindergarten. After they finished their art, they played legos together while I worked on the computer, and then we all took a two hour nap. If it hadn't been for my dad ringing the door bell, we could have slept longer. He picked up the boy and I took the girl to dance. She loves dance and really liked her class. We missed it due to her sickness last week. I loved it, because two of her friends from their two year old dance class are together again, so the moms talk. Sweet moms....that helps. G's comment as she left the studio was " Mommy, when I'm a big ballerina I want to always do dance." I loved that and it made me know that sometimes in this crazy days, she loves to dance and the freedom of dance. So, I guess it is worth the craziness.
My mother had a yummy dinner for us, and home to get ready for the retreat and the two days that I'll be away from my twins. Hope they do great and I don't miss them too much.

Sinus Infection and a Special Teacher

Orange week continues, except it started really early this morning. My boy came in to my bed at two am with a belly ache, head ache, etc...He started getting these chills and wouldn't stop shaking, freaked me out ....i remained calm and he asked to take a shower and a bath, so the majority of the next couple of hours were spent sitting on the bathroom floor. I thought that he might throw up (my worst thing to ever clean up) but thank God that didn't happen. Then I called my mom after going to the couch and watching another hour of Disney in the middle of the night with him. He stopped shaking, and I got some Motrin in him. He didn't have a high fever or any other symptoms...except I feel that writing this blog has made me realize that he has been on and off sick since school started. So called mother at six thirty and she was more than nice to listen to my pain of no sleep and what the heck is wrong with my son. Next call, our sweet loving teacher who I knew would pick up the girl and she would go to school with her since the boy was going to the DOC. That is what I call the doctor D-O-C...next call at seven fifteen, the office to make an appointment with our favorite....only to remember he is in Disney World with family and to see the Longhorn game this weekend! How lucky is he, and I am here with sicky....so on to our next favorite and she would see him at nine fifty....did I mention that it was pouring outside and I have to teach at eight....scary...well, teacher arrived, girl happy and gone in her orange outfit, boy next to Mimi's and off to school. Bus accident and rain....late ten minutes, left...pick up boy and leave for docs...it took me over an hour to get to somewhere that takes me a normal seventeen minutes....ok, I'm tired...boy has meds, girl played with cousin, nephew recovers from surgery...oops I forgot to add that I had to bake a cake too....what a day...thank you teacher, mother, doctor, and blog world for letting me vent. Orange week continues and so does life. Sweet dreams.

Grandparents Day and Orange Week begins

Orange Week began at the Passi house! The twins were so excited to have Mimi and Bumpy take them to McDonalds. They got picked up at Kindergarten and were off. My sweet mom had made them cookies for desert and talked to everyone in the office. They got there picture taken and they felt special. It was sweet when mother told me that a little friend L came up to the girl and told her that she was beautiful. It touched my mom's heart. The twins had tennis this afternoon and did a great job. I love watching them play and really become confident with a racket. You know that is my game! My sweet sis fixed us dinner and then we were off to home, showers, teeth, and some coloring. They are such little art heads at home! The boy was into his stapler that he figured out was a magnet....Bill Nye the Science Guy...and the girl was all about the mimi markers and making pumpkins while singing the orange song! Tomorrow, I will be painting with the kids again! It will be fun....Orange paint with oranges! And I can't forget our healthy orange lunch! I made the teachers pumpkin bars for a morning snack for orange week! Yum!

Sunday with out lights!

This morning we woke up and got ready and went to church. We don't always go to nine o'clock mass, but with us waking up early and Sunday school starting in a couple of weeks, we joined the nine o'clock crowd. We were excited that our friends were all around and sat next to a boy for G and a girl for G. Both have been in our preschool and in kindergarten. The girls were quiet and just sat and read books, the boys were loud and played cars and firetrucks...it was so funny how different they are. They came out of me at the same time, and are just wired different. We were surprised to have church in the dark and no air condition. They had blown a transformer? Don't exactly know what that is, but..it was so hot and the kids got drinks during church. The funny of the day was the boy tell his friend during the offertory that if you don't have money...my mom will give you some, then he looks at me and says" hey mom, he needs some cash!" It was so cute. They all walked up to give their money and looked so sweet, even though it was hot...how sweet it is to see children praising our Lord. The rest of the day was, mow the lawn, make dinner for the S family and feed sister and C. Her twins went to eat with a friend. My sister makes me laugh...i miss not seeing her, and so do the kids...dinner at her house tomorrow...I went to school and put up the pictures...their teacher loved them. Happy orange week and Grandparents day tomorrow. My twins can't wait...Happy Meals with Mimi and Bumpy! It was a really good day!

Texas, Texas, Yee Haw!!

Way to start off Orange Week with a Win! It was looking so bad to start off, but we looked amazing in the second half! My twins loved it, especially since mommy is so happy that the Longhorns finally showed up! I worked on the twins shields for the Shield parade at school this week. It is a Naumann tradition since the school opened to parade the halls with each child having a shield. The girl's is really cute with all her favorite things. Ballet, tennis, longhorns, being a twin, fruits and veggies, makeup and dress-up stuff, and cute pictures of our family and bunny! The boy's is really cute too, it has really cool boy colors, blue/brown/green. It has sports, longhorns, fishing, our family and bunny, and pizza and fruit. I have to get them laminated, and then send them to school. On Friday, I think I mentioned that I had taken these funny pics of the class, they turned out so cute.. kindergartners with their mouths wide open, I cut out the watermelon slices and made a cute bulletin board for outside the kids class. They are going to sooo love it! We bought some orange jellybeans at the grocery store, now we are ready to start the week. Kids had a soccer meet and greet and it went really well. The team is going to be so strong. It will be fun to watch!

Second Friday! Painting Day!

Hey, we made it to Friday! The twins got out of the car at drop off and walked to their room. I tried to stay away this morning and worked with one of my teachers on the other hallway. They were very excited about show and tell. G girl had picked her Big Minnie Mouse from Disney, cute and she loved it! Another girl in the class had one too. G boy had picked one of his daddy's fire trucks. Their dad had so many fire trucks in his collection and the boy knows that they are his now. So it caught his teacher off guard when he talked about how special it was because it was his dad's. She said it made her tear up. I am so glad and proud of how my twins have handled their father's death. We talk about him often and when they want too, but we never dwell on any sadness, heaven is a place of love, security and God. What a blessing that we have come to such a good place with his passing. He left behind the best part of him, them. I am so lucky to love them each day and watch them grow in their faith in God and their love of Jesus. We ate dinner early and went to Target and Walmart shopping for flashlights for Flashlight Friday, we didn't have ours yet. We also had fun painting in Kindergarten today! I had a RED painting project for the class today. They made watermelons! Fun, and I took the funniest pictures of the kids with their mouths open! I am putting the pretend watermelons in their picture mouths. It will make a cute bulletin board for the classroom. The girl was OK with me, the boy freaked out, he just wanted me for himself or him and his sis. It is hard for him to see me in a different role then just mom. We are going to have to work on it, thank God the teacher understands. Tomorrow is soccer meet and greet and the big TEXAS game! It was a wonderful RED week, even though we had a bit of a sickness. Hope ORANGE week starts with a BIG WIN tomorrow!

Girl with Mimi and Bumpy..Boy to school!

Of course the girl woke up with fever at 5am, I have to teach Kinder at one of my schools at 8am and the boy is perfect! So, I got everything ready for Mimi, and the girl was going to Killeen with my parents to get meds, and all that fun base stuff at Fort Hood. The boy went awesomely if that is a word to school. He was excited to go and I was so happy that he is well adjusted without his sis....he was parent pick up with my sitter on Thursdays. This is my late day and it was awesome to have her get them. I had a training and he had a great day. The girl has remained fever free all day, so lets hope she makes it for the 1st show and tell day for Kindergarten. They are excited, it has to be RED and fit in their backpack! Wonder what they will pick after bathtime. We did make your own pizzas for dinner and they loved making them and eating them. I love to involve them in dinner, then they eat up better. The boy made his pizza look like Santa, I also heard him talking to him about getting a computer this afternoon. Funny, only wish he knew Santa only has a laptop because she got one from work! Funny...Also, it was Lunchable day today at our house...I can't stand those things, but my kids think they are special. So the boy was so excited about it, and the girl ate it in the cart at the base! Thanks for all your sweet comments, blogger friends. your babies will be here before you know it!

What a crazy day!

Well, day two of Red week has been crazy! the girl called me from school and told me she felt bad, I was like "try to make it baby, you have dance tonight" I was in the middle of a search around Cedar Park looking for tap shoes for her, and I thought she was just having that " I miss my mom, and Kindergarten is a long day" When I got to school to pick her up, she was burning up and I felt terrible. I'm sure every mom goes through this, but I wish I had gone to get her. I took her home, gave her motrin, a popsicle and layed her in my bed. I still had Kindergarten parent night, and the night was young. My dad had the kids and I left to find out about my Kindergarten class. Their teacher did so great and I just smiled when she said things that were just like my class. I was quick to pick up kiddos, bath, bed ( no book:() and then I ate my dinner. It was nine o'clock! oh well, the life of a single mom...I did manage to have a plan for tomorrow, and get my teaching stuff together for the morning. Did I tell you, I also made muffins for the teachers who have been helping my kids adjust to Kinder. Love them.

Red Week Begins

Well, Red Week begins in Kindergarten. I was so excited that the twins are fever free and back to school. We wore our Lobster shirts from Boston to school, so they looked like twins today! Fun! It was a little crazy at morning drop off, I kinda sprung it on them and asked them to walk to class together without me. It was raining, I would have gotten all wet and we are always running right on time, so the girl went with the idea...the boy didn't. Of course, my minivan backed up the line at drop off trying to get the boy out....finally the pe teacher came (life saver) and got him out with a big hug....I wanted to cry and laugh...teachers kids are always trouble! I was glad they did it, and tomorrow we will try again. They are singing the red song...so cute and they had a great day in the gym. I looked in on them, so cute. Caught a big big grasshopper, really cool. I looked for tap shoes, need to find them for dance tomorrow...Watched sister's twins play volleyball, my twins were great! Read some books, and off to bed! oops, I forgot that I get the good mom award...my kids had a very healthy RED lunch! So cute, red jello, strawberries, red drink, sandwich with red jelly, and 10 red jellybellys! They really liked it!

Labor Day 2007

It was a fun day, the fever's are gone and we eat dinner at Mimi's and then went to the mall. We went by Target on the way home, and didn't go in, the parking lot was totally full. We came back home, finished some projects that I had started and ate dinner, and went to bed. Tomorrow will be a busy day! Wake up early!

Another bites the dust

Well, well...another one bites the dust with fever. Yeap, G got the funk from G and we stayed home. I am happy to report that my team won...it wasn't pretty but a win is a win. I am glad that if they were going to get sick, it's on the weekend! So, the house is clean, planned the meals for the week, did their homework already for the week, and have their backpack packed! Yeah, I was on a mission. I hadn't spent anytime at home, besides sleeping this week, so the house was a mess, laundry was piled up, and the kitchen needed a cleaning. I work on work for me that I had brought home, and the kids played, watched tv, watched tv and played. I am hoping the fever is over tomorrow and we can hang with the family at mom's. I have fruit to bring to the Labor Day bash....i forgot to mention that we watched fireworks in the driveway. They didn't get to shoot them off on the fourth of July so today was the day! I thought it was thunder...and then we looked out the front window and it was going on! Glad we say it in our pj's!

First Texas Game and my boy is sick

I can't believe I was up at 5am, the boy came in and was HOT! I didn't figure it out at first, SO tired, and then I was like....are you sick? I have a headache, ok....motrin and I tried to go back to sleep. I had gotten a babysitter for them while I would go to the Texas game, guess not! I can't believe the boy is sick, just fever and a little congested. I hope it is a 24 hour bug....I knew that they are going to get sick this year, they haven't been exposed to all those germs! YUCK! So we are home for the day, drinks from Sonic, and we are going to watch the game at Mimi's. I convinced them to get the pay per view! Yeah.....the boy will go over and watch another show up in the bedroom. The girl will play with cousin T. I hope we win and look good, we need a good season! I hope to go to the next home game, and I hope the girl doesn't get the bug! Hook em

First Friday! Popscicles in the Park

Well, we made it to Friday! I didn't walk them inside the room today. I am wanting them to take a little charge of things. I guess it went well, and I was off and running to my 8:00 meeting. It was easy to pick out their clothes, since Friday is a spirit day and it was wear your Naumann t-shirt day. Bright green and some navy one it! They looked cute. I packed them each a Longhorn cookie for desert in their lunch box. They said they were yummy! The funny of the day was the girl was walking out of school on Thursday with her brother who had an ice pack from a little bump....she says" I gotta get one of those ice packs tomorrow!" I smiled and knew she would figure out some way to go to the school nurse. When I picked them up today, her first comment was " I took three people to the nurse, and I had to get an ice pack!" I thought that girl had a mission and she accomplished it! She also has been coming home each day playing teacher, and doing plus/ deltas! They both really love school! We hurried over to the park and I had the popscicles in the car in a cooler. Their was one girl and her mom, really sweet and we made a sign saying " Welcome Turtles!" It was fun to get to see all the moms, a few dads, and the kids! We took a group picture and I know that it will turn out really cute! I was glad that I had done it, planned it and people came. I know this year is going to be really fun!

PE today and i can't forget the robot...

Soooo funny, I have been wanting to write about what the two of them have been saying about specials(pe and fine arts). They love their theater arts teacher...she is great, use to teach Kindergarten and wow, they are so funny about her. She has taught them to be robots, pull a pretend rope, and the funniest is when they get behind something and pretend they are going down an escalator...it is so cute. The girl told me she made a new friend, and she has really cute shoes. I thought that was cute. The boy has made several new friends and has become a bit social. The girl also managed to find herself sitting for a few minutes when everyone else went to play due to her talking...wonder where she got that! We managed to think that walker might be the best way to get home...that place is crazy at pick up time. Tomorrow is the big popscicle at the park and meet the class. Hope it works out....i'm really nervous.

Wild Wednesday!

We managed to get to school and the twins were in their seat before the pledge! Yeah mom! I made invitations to our little popscicles in the park party for Friday! Hope it is fun...who knows who will come? They were walkers today, worked out great. Didn't buy anything that I know about in the cafe, and said their day was great! We had to go back up and get their lunch boxes..then went to play at Mia's. We ate dinner at Mimi's and shower, book and bed. I love this early to bed now. I get to have a little quiet time at night. They learned about pencils and they are really loving their theater arts class. I think it is so fun how they help each other remember what they did. The boy said he fell asleep at rest today, the girl said, "I woke him up, the lights are on!" Really neat how they take care of each other. LOVE THAT!

Tuesday, Aug 28

Today was really quite funny. My mom picked up the twins from school in the parent pickup line. She mentioned that it took awhile to get up there, they said " it was so hot, mom!" So tomorrow we will do walker again. Trying to figure out this pick up system is quite a challenge. G and G said that PE was great, and played on the park with some friends. That made me smile to know that they are branching out from each other and the teacher. They are singing the turtle song, and learned all about crayons! The funny of the day is when I picked them up from my mom's she said how great it was that they are buying milk for lunch. I said, "WHAT?" Then I looked at the twins, they smiled and said, "Are teacher told us we could!" The boy was bound and determined to get into that line to buy something....he likes the control like his mom. The girl just followed right along! Funny...oh well....all is good. Milk is not a bad choice..We had a great evening, walked to the mail with scooters and showers and bed. Sweet dreams!

first day came and went

Today was a day I had dreamed about for a long time, it came and went as quickly as they grew. We got up early, everything ready to go, photo Abby in tow and headed to school. Everyone was there dropping off on the first day! I knew it would be crazy, but I never knew how much I would miss them all day. Tears in my eyes as the girl says" Mama wipe my tears, I am going to miss ya!" and as I wiped them and gave last kisses, the girls says to the boy, "brother, you need to watch over me today." He says, "sure" and I knew then that I did the right thing putting them together in the same room. Their class was full of excitement and wonder, lots to do. They came home with fun stories about their day. They were robots in Theater Arts, had two recesses, and sang some songs. I would like to tell you that my funny was the boy saying " I'm bringing my money from my room tomorrow to buy my lunch!" I guess he liked the cafeteria and wants to try their food and not my homemade lunch with the sticker on the napkin and the fun note to tell him I love him. They are sound asleep and ready for tomorrow. Hope the day brings fun! I was a good mommy and fixed a yummy dinner and read our chapter book tonight. I just love those twinners!

twas the night before kindergarten ....

Twas the night before kindergarten and all through the house, lunch boxes were packed and alarm clocks were set,
G and G were all settled with showers and brushed teeth, we read a book about twins starting Kindergarten.
G has staples in her head from her trip to the ER, and all the clothes are set out for tomorrow. I can't believe tomorrow has come. My babies are going to kindergarten. I have dreamed about this day for so long, and didn't even think it would ever come. I know that their teacher will love them and they will begin to learn how much fun it is to learn, to be taught, to grow in the real world. God only has given me them for such a short time, but I want to remember every bit of this year. So tomorrow, the journey begins. I can't wait. Hold back the tears and let them go!

I love you twins!
