End of the school year

The end of the school year is kinda like the beginning for teachers.. both are hectic! This year the twins were doing all of their end of the year stuff, too. We have had several "lasts" this month. Last day of school, last t-ball game...

The kids LOVED the year they spent with Mrs. Leonard in Pre-K! It was the best experience! They learned so much, and it confirmed our decision to let the twins wait a year for kindergarten. They are so ready for kindergarten now, and I am so thankful their first school experience was such a good one. We have decided to ask the school to place them in the same class next year. I talked to their teacher, and she felt like it worked great this year and that there wouldn't be any problems. I think it will be good for them to have each other as they move to a new school setting. Being a twin can be tough in some ways, but always having a same-age buddy is a nice perk! 

P.S. Excuse them while they grow three inches. They're giants, I tell ya!

The t-ball season has come to a close. We had awesome coaches, and we really enjoyed the season! 

And then there was the receiving of "the golden trophy". My Fran could not have been more excited about her trophy. I will admit that I am not a huge fan of participation trophies, but in a game where no one wins or loses, that's pretty much the only kind you can get. Besides the coach said, by his count, he is fairly certain we were undefeated. ;-)

One final 'first' was a little tooth injury for Fran. She fell at school and bumped her mouth. Uhhh!! She was totally doing some kind of crazy move on the playground equipment, too. There was a dramatic meltdown about the busted lip, but she also hit her tooth. Now, it is getting darker. We are still holding out hope that it will lighten up some. She thinks it will come out and the tooth fairy will come. I think I am SO not ready for my baby to start losing teeth. It turns them into a 'kid'. I fight that. Let's be Mama's babies for a while longer. I do love a cute little snaggle tooth, though, so maybe it won't be too bad. 

For now, we are looking forward to spending our days doing this...

Or this...

And then maybe a little more of this...

HAPPY SUMMER, Y'all! 

I surprised you, didn't I?

You thought I was gone again! 

Lots of fun in April! I'm pretty sure I love a five year old! They are so fun and sweet (mostly)! 

Frannie and I really enjoyed Rush's trip home from t-ball. We giggled and laughed and took photos at stop lights. He really loved his popcorn. Or he was in a sugar coma from having Gatorade, popcorn,  Oreos, and Kona Ice for lunch after the t-ball game. 

And then there was Easter. And we almost made it through a holiday weekend with the fam without having anyone vomit or run fever. OR have to go to Urgent Care with a potential arm injury. He was fine, but we really like to keep it dramatic if at all possible, so we decided to have some bones x-rayed.  Oh, and there was that Egg Hunt at the Pre-K. I took some time off from work to go help out with hiding  eggs (aka... tossing into wide open space) and to watch the other fun Easter stuff. Can you tell which picture Fran was about to fall apart in and the one in which all was right in her world? She couldn't find all 12 of her eggs. Then she did. P.S.  It was 40 degrees at the egg hunt. Excuse this Alabama weather. P.P.S.  While I froze and threw the eggs out, I also stepped in an ant bed. And they stung me or whatever they do. And it hurt. And there will be scars. P.P.P.S Will is so cute!! Ok. That is Easter in a nutshell!

 Green belts were earned in Tae Kwon Do! And Spring was made even more spectacular as we watched our SF show us all her moves in gymnastics. 

And. I registered my babies for Kindergarten. Like the real grown up kind. Like when you finish all of the years you graduate from high school and leave your Mama forever kind. They are happy and I am not sure how I feel. So that's April, folks. Blogger guilt gone until June 1. I will be back then to tell you about May. At least it's something, right?
