Back to Work/School for Mom!

Mommy had to go back to work this past Thursday... boy, did I miss miss miss the twins, but at least I love my job and who I work with.  It's just hard not be with my babies all day long. Sniff.  Sniff. I know it will be okay... I just get pretty emotional.  Of course, for back to school, Mi-Ma bought William and Mallory Little Critter, Little Sister, 2 new books, undies, and tennis shoes.  She sure spoils us! Thank you, Mi-Ma!!!!!

Since Kindergarten doesn't begin until Thursday the 14th, the twins got to go to Miss Lori's for a few days. They LOVED it there... and it didn't make too hard on me.  Miss Lori always sends me sweet pics!

Here is me getting extra extra hugs and kisses with my almost kindergartners.  This is us before Mallory and I went to Micki's Dance Open House.  Yes, we wore our baseball t-shirts!  Hee-Hee!

Felt appropriate to end this post with my family love collage!

Cousin Day at Grandpa Bob's!

 Grandpa Bob and Gene had all the cousins out to the lake today. Uncle Tom and I got to make it as well. Mike, Uncle Jim, and Aunt Jen had to work... but, boy, oh boy... we had a terrific time with family that was there! Such wonderful memories with wonderful people!

The twins and the twins throwing rocks!

We then headed to the "beach" part and swam.  It was an awesome water fight and fun among everyone! 

All the kids loved "getting" Grandpa Bob!

Get 'em, Grandpa Bob!

We played football, too! Go William!

Mallory loves to swim... swim... swim!

Grandpa Bob did get to float a bit!

Grandpa Bob's lot is a few lots away from the "beach"... so the twins and the twins got to go old school and ride in the back of the truck.  The kids were in heaven... then I told them this is what your Daddy and I did when we were little.  They thought I was fibbing and joking! Ha ha ha!

We then fished!

Gpa Bob's neighbor made this cutest Tiki Bar! 

More fishing with the kids!

As were taking turns with the fishing pole... Mallory and William found a stick and put a grape and a tomato on the end of the stick hoping to catch a whopper! It was adorable!

I'm still that aunt and mom that makes everyone get in a picture... they will be glad I did this one day.  I know I'm glad my aunts and mom did this with me when I was little... ;)

Splash Pad FUN!

 Our new favorite thing... splash pads... with friends! We had such an amazing time with Andrew, Thomas, and Kelly at the neighborhood splash pad! Seriously... I LOVE watching our kids play together! I sometimes forget that I'm the Mom! 

I love this picture collage below... I call it: "Wait for it..."

National Twin Day!

 I didn't even know that is was National Twin Day... and kinda funny... we had scheduled a  twin play date with our friends, Oliver and Claire.  Yes, we went to the zoo... one of our favorite spots! It's so very fun to spend these days with each other and such cutie friends!

Auntie Krisitn joined us too... double fun times with double cute kiddos!

LOVE this pic of the 4 sweetie pies!
