There was an open house for the twin’s pre-school yesterday. The whole fam-damily attended 🙂 Mike hadn’t seen the school before, so it was neat that he was able to go too.
When we got there, the yellow room (the one they’ll be in) was pure pandemonium. The room is used for one class M-W-F and another T-TH, so there were students from both there – along with at least one parent, and quite often a sibling or two. They attempted to split the 2 hour open house into two parts; first half of the alphabet goes the first hour, second half goes the second hour. I’m not sure if that really happened, but I’m sure sort of helped. Needless to say, a wee bit overwhelming. Both Burke and Maggie hung close for a while. Maggie ventured out first (surprise, surprise), and Burke warmed up and played after a bit. The teachers were super nice and it was really good to see that a few former students came in just to say “hi.”
We wandered around the building for a little bit so Mike could see the library, the gym, and the playground. I went up to reception to pay for the month and when I got back to the yellow room the director told me that the rest of my family had gone to visit the blue room. heh okay. She wanted me to meet her daughter-in-law though. She has twins who are in the T-Th session…but the poor woman doesn’t belong to a twin club! I’m not sure if the director knew about my tendencies to “twin stalk” since I’m our membership chair, but I think that may have been what she had in mind. We’ll see if it worked 😉
I went over to the blue room and the only ones in there (besides the two teachers trying to clean up) were my family. LOL No wonder they went over there. Nice and calm. All three kids were playing with the kitchen and didn’t want to go. I suppose I take this as a good sign. 🙂
This morning when Burke woke up, this was the first thing he said to me:
Burke: In the car.
Me: Where do you want to go?
Burke: Blue room.
LOL! He settled for going to the yellow room tomorrow.
Oh, and I almost forgot. Mike told me that Penzey’s isn’t really his secret to good food from the grill. His TRUE secret is to take the food OFF when it’s done. Funny man.

I Was Carded: What a Card – do you have three sisters and a brother too? Too funny…wonder what else we have in common 🙂
Good Food: Ooooh Apple Pie Spice! I’m going to have to try that one, Tanya! My mouth watered just reading about it.
Is it REALLY Green: Thank goodness, the twins are this > < close to being potty trained. (Except that Burke pee’d on the floor today.) But Gio, I still have Logan…so the diapers continue for a while. *sigh* MultipleTwinMommy, what do you use instead of a diaper pail? And are all 4 of yours still in diapers? Geez…I just can’t even imagine. You rock 🙂 LOL Jon, you’re probably right! I thought about cloth diapers – for about 2 seconds, Heather, but I just couldn’t wrap my brain around having to deal with poo other than wrapping it up and putting it away. Too funny about the kitty litter though! heh Ya, Laura, someone should do some research and figure out what really IS green and what does the most good vs. just doing lip service.
