Good Morning~
I couldn't sleep last night with the excitement of having a way to record the things are family does! So a typical weekday starts with Aaron hitting the snooze button a least 3 times and then getting kicked out of bed to hit the shower. By this point there is usually one child in our bed if not both! At about 7:30am Kent gets ready for school, we have breakfast (on good morning Mickey Mouse waffles with chocolate chips and Vermont Gold--Maple Syrup), and then Kent's classmate Noah comes over. They play rescue heroes or cars until 8:15 when we put on shoes, coats, hats, backpacks, snackbags and head to school. The entire elementary school meets on the playground each morning in a circle to be greeted by the principal, get announcements and say the pledge. And there they stay till 3:00pm. Evelyn and I come home attempt to clean up the house while she begs to watch a show! Depending on the day we go to story time at the library or playgroup twice a week, take a long walk with our friends to the park or make cookies. A funny story about cookies--month ago Evelyn and I were making peanut butter cookies in the mixer. She had pig tails in her hair and look very cute! She went to get a bite of cookie dough when a pig tail got sucked in the mixer. I had visions of taking her to the hospital with a twenty pound with plastered to the side of her hair. Fortunately, I got the mixer removed and spent 10 minutes removing the beaters. In the bathtub she went and afterward we combed her hair and out came two large chunks, with Evelyn say "My hair hurts." This experience reminded me of getting of the school bus in Texas and getting my hair sucked into the fan near the door! Aaron is always saying Evelyn and I are alike this is only supporting his case! After we pick up Kent there is snack, going through his backpack, a show for Kent, hugs and kisses, and then Aaron picks up the kids at my work and off we go! These are photos from this morning. Evelyn was laying on the couch saying that her tummy hurt, but then popped up a few minutes later saying "I am happy now!"
