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!
