the girls seemed to love it, they've made a few new friends and they're excited for this new adventure in their little lives. The first week the teachers took some time to get to know all of the students - Kaylee said next week their teacher said they will be painting and playing with play-doh.
I'm so glad the girls are loving every second of it, and I can't wait to see all of the new things they learn.
The first day.. we woke up at 6:30, everyone got up ok, ate breakfast, took baths, and was ready to roll for the first day. We were at the school in the drop off line waiting on the doors to open at 7:40. Both girls did great, walked right in as we were signing them in - they took off.
They wanted nothing to do with hugs and kisses the first morning which was a good thing because momma was already having a hard time letting them be away from me for the first time (longest time) in two years. I was ok, but could hardly say any words as I was walking out of the school I was biting my lip trying to hold back tears. We got into the car, headed back to the house and the tears started pouring along with all of the scary thoughts and fears I've had because it was finally here. you have to let go, and it's hard.. especially when they're all you've known morning-night for the last four years.. literally since birth. thankfully, their daddy works nights (obviously) so he happened to be off the night before to help me prepare lunches and get the kids down, and having him off work to be there with me that next morning helped so much because I knew I was going to need comforted and be reassured a million times that day, that my babies would be ok. They are in great hands, their teachers are awesome and I couldn't be happier for them as their very first week comes to an end.
Here's to the weekend, and to the rest of the school year.

the night before we had to make a quick Target trip for some random things including a few things for them for their first day.
the night before as we prepared to send our babies off to school the next day.
the first day.
seek all the adventure's baby girls.
this is only the beginning...
Kaylee had a slight meltdown, nothing major and so far so good since that first night.
we talked about it, she explained her feelings, and I comforted.. however, she melted my heart as she put her hands on her daddy's cheeks as she said "I just want to stay here forever, and ever"
yep.. heart was in a puddle.
all is well for now.
day 2.
up and ready to go.
.... with all the smiles and giggles.
I remember the days of coming home from school, and eating anything leftover in my lunchbox, and anything I could find in the house. #starving
JD had an appointment to get to for blood work, as he had been fasting ALL day from midnight that night through 3pm so after the appointment we headed to a restaurant for a quick meal.
it turned into this below...
we requested to-go boxes before even receiving our food.
this is the parent life.
tablet time has dropped down to 30-45 min after school after we talk to them about how their day at school was... asking all the questions.
Kaylee said to me "mom, please stop asking so many questions"
sorry not sorry, kid. get use to it. (:
this is the most favorite part of their evening.
Day 3.
their daddy took them to school on this morning. (benefit of having a night shifter as a dad)
Kylee said to me on this morning -- "mom, I'll miss you with my whole heart"
ugh. they keep my heart in a puddle.
Day 4 -- we did not snap a picture this morning.
JD had a physical therapy appointment bright and early, and I had to get ready and get to work.
so. here's to the weekend with this after school picture of Kylee with all the babies she can possibly take care of at once.
when you're a twin mom, your kids don't know anything other than being a multiples mommy.
at least she's got it down. look at her go even with an added child into the mix.. she has officially one upped her momma in that department.
I'm so excited to spend the weekend with these babes.
who knew letting them stay up an hour past bedtime would ever be something I looked forward to?
this life is so much fun. hectic, but fun.
their daddy and I make a pretty great team at raising these two wild thangs together.
