First Full Day of School

To ease the children into grade 1 here they go only 1/2 day for the first month. Well, today was the first day that the boys went for the full day. They were VERY excited to be going the whole day like all the big kids and VERY excited to be able to take their new lunch boxes. So here are a few pictures of them this morning getting ready to go to school. I really don't know what is up with all of them lately with their smiles. I couldn't get one of both of them smiling normally at the same time so I am posting all three I took so that you can take your pick of which ones you want to look at!

I think this is the closest one to "normal" I managed to get....

When I was packing their lunch this morning I told them I was putting a chocolate chip cookie in with their roll and they were to eat their lunch first and then the cookie for dessert. So as I start to put the cookie in the bag, Alexander tells me he doesn't want it. I asked why, incredulously, and he said they weren't allowed to take cookies cause they were to have a healthy lunch. I assured him that the teacher wouldn't mind if he had one cookie after he ate his lunch and he then agreed to take the treat. Perhaps his twin brother is rubbing off on him!

Now that I have discovered video on blog, you will be getting bombarded with them just cause I think it's neat. Therefore, I am also posting a video which we discovered a couple of days ago while going through the pictures on the computer. I may have children's services coming to look for the children, but they were having a good time at the time!
