Thanksgiving Prep

In preparation for Thanksgiving...

the twins having been learning in school about Pilgrams, Indians, and such...

They got in my car that afternoon and when i asked them about their Indian headdresses/feathers they looked at me funny and said they were pirates.  hmm...i thought to myself they are obviously confused between Thanksgiving and Halloween.  We had been watching lots of Peter Pan movies and Jake and the Neverland Pirates leading up to Halloween, so that's understandable, yes?


 Then while my pirate/indians were eating their lunch, i was going thru the kids backpacks looking at all their "makes" as nora calls them and came across this.  
We always talk about what they learned/made for the day and when i asked them about this ear of corn, Nora exclaimed it was a chicken and Holden said an airplane...it was at this point that i came to the conclusion they WERE NOT listening in school today.  you think? 


 in other related news,  Nanny Katie sent a fun bday/thanksgiving present...with 2 more Thanksgiving hats to add to the collection.   the cooked turkey really is my favorite...every time they wear it i get tickled all over again. 

and here is last year's hat if you don't remember. 
i can't imagine what next year's hat might be..a turkey baster? or a honey baked ham?

School Pics Part 2

Overall, I would say that the kiddos first day of school was a success.  

we started out with full bellies of french toast and apple sauce and BIG BIG smiles...


 walked into school, still talking and happy to be there...

here's their class bulletin board

  
in the class they were a little hesitant and nervous (couldn't get either to smile)...we unpacked backpacks and went over to the toys.  as soon as the kids were busy with a toy i snuck out the door without goodbyes...hoping for a good day.

and here they are getting in the car from the car line....big smiles and couldn't stop talking.  
Ms. Amy said they did great. 

We went straight home, called Daddy at work to tell him about our day then had lunch and nap time.  We're ready for next week already!


First Day of School

It's just for 1 day a week right now... but it's a good start and a nice morning off for mommy. We were lucky to find a pre-school just a few mins from the house that took 2 yr olds...

And since I am feeling okay this morn.. I treated myself to a fall Starbucks in celebration of this milestone day :).
