It's Preschool!

The twins started preschool at St. Paul's (where we also attend church--when we can get ourselves there, which hasn't been very often)! On sign-up day, Mommy drove to the church on a cold February morning, arriving at 6 am to wait for the registration to begin at 9 am. Good thing, too. The twins secured two of only five remaining spots. It's a highly-praised program, and Mommy definitely wanted them in the SAME preschool!

On their first day, Tuesday (9-8-09), Mommy had to carry so many supplies, along with ushering two timid 2-yr-olds, that she didn't even try to bring her camera for a picture. Instead, she used her cell phone to snap this pic when she picked them up. I surprised them when they came around the corner--they actually had a good day, even though their faces don't show it here. :)

Here are pics that I took at 9 am, the morning of their SECOND day of preschool (Thurs., 9-10).

See how happy Gracie is?!

Chance didn't show much excitement. Mostly hesitation, but at least no tears. It might be due to the fact that he takes a VERY long time to wake up in the mornings--just like a Boespflug.

The second week of preschool (they only attend on T/Th from 9-noon), the kids learned about the color RED and the shape of a CIRCLE . . .

Is it weird if Mommy ironed and starched Gracie's overalls the night before the 4th day of school? Sure, Mommy is overzealous, but the outfit is RED! And it's a hand-me-down that's frustratingly wrinkled, making it look rag-like without a bit of help. It's not hyperparenting, right?! :)

Here's a pic of Grace in that outfit, along with Chance's RED shirt too. They're holding the art projects they'd done that day. They also had PE class, which they loved. And they brought home a toy from the "treasure chest"--Chance's was a toy airplane, to his great delight, and Grace's was a plastic pair of sunglasses, not surpringly. :)

They're in the "Monkeys" class--hence, the folder with a monkey on it.
