We are Kindergarteners!

Last night the twins had their Promotion Night at Family Christian Center School. They did a wonderful job, I also did great at holding back my tears! I was crying inside because they have grown so much, so fast.

Thanks to Bella's teachers Ms. Patricia and Ms. Christi; and Quinn's teachers Ms. Denissa and Ms. Kim. You all have done such a wonderful job from taking our children under your loving care from day one and treating them as one of your own children. I will admit the first day we dropped them off I was so nervous about leaving them, how they would do, if they would get scared, make friends, etc. They talked about school everyday and were excited to go to school each day. Thanks to your hard work they are exceptional students and have a great head start for Kindergarten! We will miss all of you dearly and hope you will stay in touch.

We are very proud of both of you QUinn and Bella and can not wait to see what you accomplish next year in Kindergarten. You will be going to school ALL DAY! I can still see you both as little babies when you were born and it's hard to imagine you are going to be going to school on your own on the BUS!

Here is to a new year in KINDERGARTEN!!

Back to School

Well it's the lat day of Christmas Break for the twins. They had a wonderful time off, lots to do, sometime not enough to do and got some cabin fever!! I can tell you that I am ready for them to go back to school but I still need a vacation from my vacation to get things done!!

Bella is looking forward to seeing Gabriel again and giving him his Christmas gift. And Quinn has a gift for Stephanie too. Bella is looking forward to her homework and Quinn just want to play...LOL!

I love seeing the enjoyment they have telling me and showing me what they have done in school. This first week back will be rough as we try to get our bodies back and used to the schedule. My schedule for work is changing so that will get some getting used to as well as Brinlee being almost potty trained.

Let enjoy this last day of break and see you in SCHOOL TOMORROW!

Christmastime at School

The kids have been having a blast at school, and with so many events I can't keep up anymore! So here is a rundown of what has been going on in the past week or so. Bella has been complaining that she wants homework, so I talked to Ms. Patricia and she is going to start giving her some worksheets to take home. Can this last through high school? In my wildest dreams huh...haha! They do bring home a lot of papers that they do in class, but to try to continue to scan them all in this blog would me miles long!! I don't know how to choose which ones to keep, so at the end of the school year I will have them help me decide which ones to keep.

The twins did some Christmas shopping at school for each other, Nanny, Gramps and Papa. They were very excited about this!! They have done some really nice projects too in school, I'll have to take a picture of our family room wall! Quinn's teacher, Ms. Denissa, did a really adorable project with the kids. She did their hand print on an ornament and made it look like a family of snowmen. She even went a step further for us...she went over to Bella's class to have Bella do one too!! So we have 2 amazing ornaments hanging on our tree!!

This past week they each had a party in their classes too. In Bella's class they did a fun book exchange. Each child brought in a wrapped book with their name on it. They then played a game and got a book. Bella was all excited because Gabriel, they boy that likes her in class, got her book! Bella go a Dr Seus book. They then got to decorate cookies and eat them in class, yummy! In Quinn's class they decorated cookies one day, then the last day they got to play in the park outside, then they came in and have a little party with food. I got to come in and help out too.

Bella also got a gift from her 'boyfriend' Gabriel! She was confused at school but was very excited when we got home and she had a gift from him. She felt bad that she didn't get him anything and said, 'Mommy can we go get Gabriel something?' So we did pick a little something up for him and she will give it to him after Christmas break.

Bella and her gift!

Quinn got a huge coloring activity book from Ms. Kim and Ms. Denissa! Thank you he loves it!!

We love seeing them really enjoy school, and wanting to go. They have learned a lot and sometimes surprise us with what they know!!
