Picture Time!

We took the boys to get their pictures taken today since we haven't done professional pictures since Tyce was one month old. They were surprisingly very cooperative and excited. We got tons of cute pictures and it was so hard to choose just a couple poses. I decided to post the ones of them together in this post then I'll do their individual ones next. These are straight from the CD so they haven't been cropped or edited or anything yet...

Best buds... We got this one in black and white and it looks so cute...

Parker got this one for his office...
This is probably my favorite. Yes Tyce's tongue is out a little bit but, hey, that's him!At the end she tried getting a pic of all of them jumping in the air at the same time. Haha it was hilarious because they couldn't all get the timing together...

Individual pics to come!!!

Girls Night Out

A couple nights ago Kimberly and I had a fun girls night out complete with a yummy dinner, shoe shopping, ice cream, and LOTS of chatting! Her and I spend a lot of time together yet never seem to run out of stuff to talk about. In fact, we find it hard to fit it all in! Kimberly's husband is overseas so wonderful Parker watched not only our kids but also hers! Our kids are all great friends and play together so well. Parker texted me some pics throughout the night so here they are...

Jake and Tyce in Tyce's bed...

Apparently Tyce was copying Jake at dinner...The caption on this text was, "sorry I didn't realize they would paint their faces with cookies"Jake and Tyce building towers...Josh is always so good with younger kids...

Parker said that aside from the four poopy diapers, a couple little fights, and some messes, it wasn't that bad and he even said he would do it again! Thanks to my wonderful husband for being so great and thanks for my wonderful friend for a fun night!!! :)

Lunch with Josh and Jackson

Since Parker has today off of work we decided to go have lunch with our kindergartners at school! Wonderful Traci watched Tyce for us. They were really excited to see us, but still had to be cool in front of their friends. They haven't liked doing hot lunch so I thought if Parker and I had it with them, they would have a change of opinion. WELL...since I haven't been feeling well the very sight of the school lunch almost made me throw up. But Parker was hungry so he grabbed a tray. After seeing the school lunch I understood why they want me to make them lunches, haha.

Here we are at the guest table where you get to sit if you have someone there to eat with you... Jack was like, mom really? More pictures? Haha...

Look at these big boys going to throw their stuff away...Waiting in line to go back to class...


While I am not impressed by the school lunch I am very impressed with the school. There are 12 kindergarten classes and they have everything so scheduled and organized it works like clock work. I love it! It was so fun watching them with their friends and be so excited that we were there with them. Jack kept asking me what I was doing after lunch, I think he wanted me to stay. I love my kindergartners!!!

Pajama Day!

Today was pajama day at kindergarten and Jackson and Josh have been extremely excited about it. They've been trying to decide which jammies to wear for a long time. They finally picked some, despite me trying to sway them to the ones I think are cutest, and woke up super excited. I figured I could do a blog about how mornings are now that the boys are in school. Not because it's super interesting but because these are times I want to remember.

The twins' alarm goes off at 6:55am, most of the time it's Jack who jumps out of bed and turns it off. Then he comes into my room, crawls into bed with me, and we cuddle until about 7. Then we go wake up Josh (which is sometimes easy and sometimes not). Tyce either wakes up at 5am or 7am and he reads books in Jack and Josh's room while they get dressed. Occasionally there are fits about what to wear, what matches, whether or not they want to match eachother, if they're going to be cold or hot, etc. But they're dressed by 7:10. Then we head downstairs for breakfast and I set the timer, they have to be done eating by 7:25... Tyce eats a banana and juice while the twins eat, he eats his oatmeal when we get back from the bus stop...While they're eating breakfast I finish putting their lunches together (I make them the night before) and remind them to hurry and eat (my kids eat SO slow!)

At 7:25 we go upstairs to brush teeth, wash faces and hands, and put lotion on their faces...
Then we head out the door around 7:30 or 7:35...Tyce always wears his jammies and cowboy boots to the bus stop, he's a real hit with all the other kids and parents at the bus stop...Josh waiting at the bus stop (it's his snack day today so he had a bag of peach cups for the class). Josh always runs to the line and rarely gives me hugs or kisses before he leaves. If I'm lucky he'll wave to me...Jack waiting at the bus stop. He's so cute at the bus stop because he always gives me a hug and a kiss before he goes...Not the best picture because the windows are super tinted but Jack is in front of Josh and they're both by the window. Recently they haven't been sitting together on the bus. I asked them why and Josh said "well because if I always sit by Jack then I'll never make new friends mommy!" Jackson said, "well how about this Josh, we'll do a pattern, you sit by me, you don't sit by me, you sit by me, you don't sit by me." SO cute! I'll admit, it's hard as a mommy of twins to see them not sitting by eachother. I know it's healthy, I know it's good, I know all that. But still, I want them to always be side by side their whole lives! Is that so much to ask?! :) Then Tyce and I come home and he eats his oatmeal while we talk at the table. He wanted me to take pictures of him and his "biaper and boots."
After he eats he watches a show (he never lasts longer than 15 minutes watching TV) and plays with his toys while I eat, pay bills, check my email, do my blog, etc. Around 9:30 we head to the gym! That's how mornings go in the Morrill household!!!
