Change!!!

Lots of changes have been going on around our house for the last several weeks! Tatum starting kindergarten was one of the biggest. I have finally gotten use to that change and have stopped crying! If a can keep her five for the next 13 years I will be happy! She seems to really enjoy school and she is definetly learning alot. She is learning spanish and loves it! I think it is great that she is learning other languages at such a young age but at times it gets on my nerves! For instance... I was getting on to her for something and at the end of my lecture I said "do you understand me" and in a none enthusiastic voice she replies with "si comprenda". Her favorite thing about school is the computer lab which she gets to go to on Friday's. Another special thing that happens on Friday's is they get to pick a prize if they stay on green light all week long. Tatum inherited my mouth because the first week of school was the only time she managed staying on green light all week long. She moves her clip once a week for talking in the lunchroom or the halls. I had a very serious talking problem in school and got in trouble daily. I don't understand how she manages to not get into any trouble for four whole days and has to speak at least one day. She makes me crazy!!!
Another big change is I am working! I know most of you know that already but some of you don't. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I am teaching the older two's at a Mother's Day Out program. For the past five years I have never really had to worry about getting anywhere unless we had some type of plans. Now, I have to get myself and C and R out the door and at work on time. I thought it would stress me out but it has actually been going really well. I have a great class and work with great people. C and R are also right down the hall from me.
The twins where going to start Mother's Day Out this year but only going two days a week. When I got the three day position we had to add one more day for them as well. They seem to really enjoy it and C is glad to get out of a house filled with girls!
The twins also had a big move right before school started. Do you remember my post on the big kid beds and the pictures of how cute their room was? After a while their room looked like a jail cell. It had bare walls, no curtains, a lock on the closet and locks on the dresser drawers. They destroyed their room!!! Despite all my child-proofing efforts they managed to get into every drawer and even in the closet. I had already learned a ponytail holder was not enough to keep them out so I bought one of the latches that hooks around both knobs and Christopher tied rope around the knobs as well. The still got it open!!! I also bought latches that hook around the side of the dresser to keep them out of there but they broke them off. We would wake up in the morning to a bedroom covered in clothes and toys! These two toddlers are something else!Naptime became a nightmare and watching them turn their mattresses into slides by propping them up using their beds was a little scary. It was time for seperation!!! So C now has a big boy room and the girls are sharing a room. It has worked out very well until recently R has discovered the joy of ripping up books. Books are now going to have to be taken out of their room. She reminds me of animal from the muppets! Blogging about the things C and R do make me tired! So I am going to leave you with some pics of the kiddos and hopefully I will do a better job of posting updates sooner.


She looks so happy ; )
