Kindergarten...Bonus Footage!!

Sorry for the shakey camera... you can hear it better if you turn off the music that automatically plays on the blog at the bottom of the screen.

Kindergarten, Then and Now

This was Alex's 1st day of Kindergarten....

And here she is on her last day. What a year, how she has grown, learned to read, write and discovered her love for math. I'm going to miss how much fun this year was for her, and also for me as I worked in her class on Tuesdays and got to be there and experience it through her eyes. This is her teacher Mrs. Muha, I can never thank her enough for making this such a great year!

Happy Birthday Jake and Emily!

My twins are 3. How did that happen? Didn't I just break the news to Gerrit that yes indeed we are having twins? Wasn't that just yesterday? Wow, time is flying by so fast it's making me dizzy. I want just one more year of the 2's, one more year to be able to carry them, one more year to be the only one that really understands what they are saying. I won't be sad to see the last 'pull-up' in the trash, but I am sad that they are not babies anymore, and barely toddlers at that.

Happy Easter

Yes, I'm old school, dress the kids in their Easter best...

NOT So Darling...

Sometimes my kids are NOT darling little ones, in fact I would say most of the time they seem to be quite the opposite. The twins in particular, seem to have the knack to sneak off at the exact time that I am, loading the dishwasher, loading the washing machine, mopping or vacuuming, etc.. Generally, anytime that I take my eyes off of them for a full five minutes. They love their new found games of fun, like, writing on the walls and floors with markers and crayons, finding my purse and destroying ALL of my make-up and covering their walls and beds with my lipstick, (not to mention the still missing lip pencil that they have cleverly hid for another days wall art). This morning they decided what fun it would be to fill Daddy's Ugg boots with toothpaste and hair gel.
