Part of being older means starting school, and since we will proudly tell you we are a big whoppin 5 year old -we started Kindergarten today.
Our parents woke us up at 6:15 am. Sam asked if it was morning yet, and when Mom answered "Yes" he replied "But it has only been a minute since we went to sleep." Of course we did get up and started our day with a yummy made to order breakfast. Toby wanted French toast and Sam wanted scrambled egg whites. Once dressed and with our backpacks on we headed out to the Comanche House (our soon to be home once it is all done) to take some pictures in front of the Mulberry Tree. We invited all our grandparents and they came to see us dressed and ready for our 1st day of school.
After several photos, tons of hugs, and a chance to show off our big guy backpacks we drove over to our school. Mrs. Zapolski was waiting for us and we finally got to play on the playground equipment! We have been waiting for 5 months to try it out! It was fun and we showed Mom exactly how much we have grown with our climbing abilities. It only took a few minutes of playing for Toby to run over and tell Mom and Dad "Goodbye! You can leave now. You are supposed to leave." With a wave and some good laughs from the adults he was back to playing.
School really was a lot of fun. There are six kids in our class. 4 boys and 2 girls. Each of us sit in a group with a girl and another boy. It is good to be apart, but we still manage to play together.
Some of the things we did today:
Sang songs about Jesus and being happy.
Put our supplies into our desks that open on top.
Listened to a story with headphones on. (may have been Hansel & Gretel based on their retelling).
Played with the many learning toys.
Counted and cheered like cheerleaders.
Hugged our teacher as we left for the day!
Mom and Dad picked us up and took us to McDonald's for lunch. A friend from our class was there too, and we played together some more. We had a doctors appointment today. We have grown in the past year. Sam is 40 inches tall and 29 pounds. Toby is 37 inches and 26 pounds. Still 3 inches and 3 pounds difference! They gave us each 1 shot for the "chickenpops". That sis not make us happy at all. After we went to Home Depot to look at sinks and then to Applebees for a special dinner. It has been a full day, and now we are in bed - asleep! Goodnight.
Here is a slide show of our day. Enjoy. We sure did.

I can't believe they are old enought for school! I still remember meeting them for the first time, holding them for the first time, bathing them for the first time. How could this be possible?
Welcome to time going by WAY to fast! It is amazing to me too. I still hear their hearts on the monitors in my mind sometimes when it is quiet. It seems not so long ago, and then I think back to ALL we have done with them in 5 years and am blown away.
