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
