School's back in session!!!

I don't know about you but I am excited!! School has started again! Kids are out of the house!!!! I think if we would of had one more week on summer they might have killed each other. But we survived. Our girl just started 3rd grade and the boy started kindergarten! Yea FREE SCHOOL!!! No more day care, well at least for a little while.

The girl fell right back into school like she never left. She loves school and she got a really nice teacher once again this year. We have been so lucky with teachers! She is excited that there are kids that she knows from last year in her class. And she is ready to learn again. She told me on the first day that she was going to be really good and the only time she would ever have to go to the principals office was to do morning announcements. I find it funny that she even gets worried about that. Those of you that know her know that something major would have to shift with her personality for her ever to get in any type of trouble. I just hope that doesn't happen in the teenage years!! Here she is the first day in her new pink outfit that she couldn't live with out!



The boy had a different start to school than his sis. In wonderful frisco isd they have a kindergarten orientation the first day of school that lasts a whole hour. So we dropped the girl off at 7:30 and then had to come back with the boy at 9 for orientation. And then we left with him at 10. It was stupid! We have gone to 3 other "kindergarten orientations" in the past few months. How many do they need?

So after his first anti-climatic sorta first day we had our second real first day. He came home saying her had a lot of fun in school. And the best part was that you could buy lunch at school ant there was a store there that you could buy drinks at. And he got a drink. They even had three types of milk. But he got the white milk. Now the only problem I saw with this was that we didn't give him any money to buy anything. So I asked him how he bought it, did he have some money with him? He does like to hoard money every now and then so it wouldn't surprise me. But he told me , No I didn't have to have money we had a little card we used and we got to buy milk with it.

So apparently the teacher handed out their hot lunch cards and let them use them. I guess she doesn't have to check and see if they have any money on them or not. But what is this teaching our kids? They are learning the power of a credit card at age 5!! :) I find it funny, but now we are going to have some serious lessons and rules about this magical card. So since we didn't want a delinquent account from the start I went online and put money on both kids lunch cards even though they never want anything. But I have a feeling this will change.Here is a shot of the boy in his new cool boy outfit.



Other updates:

On the twin front...I am slowly getting a little more energy and find I can even return a few emails every now and then. I actually took the dogs for a short walk the other night and survived. Its nice to have a little energy again. Morning sickness is still rearing its ugly head but I have now gained an appetite. So I am hoping it is nearing its end, cross your fingers, knock on wood! I think the twin shock has worn off. We are excited but now I have two babies to worry about something happening to. I can't wait for the next ultrasound! I will feel a lot better after we see them again and see that they are doing well. We go back in two weeks for this.

That's about all that's happening in our corner of the world.
