Aunt "Wissa" saves the day!!

Aunt Melissa, A.K.A Wissa has graciously agreed to help out now that she's graduated from school! She just started but boy does it make a difference having another adult to talk to during the day! I was thinking just before she arrived that Wednesday morning that I was going stir crazy and couldn't wait for the twins to get older so we could start to get out of the house more. Well, I'm not sure who was happier to see her the kids or me!! It was just what we all needed that day. The kids had a blast making a human train (above) and I enjoyed some adult convo!! That same week we took the kids to Yorktown mall and Mel took the kids on the train and the indoor playground while I took the sleeping twins and shopped in peace! Aunt Wissa saves the week!!!

Christmas at Acension

Jack had his christmas recital at school, sooo cute!! They sang about 4 songs including We Wish You a Merry Xmas and Silent Night. Jack didn't really participate though, he sat quietly in the back row smiling at Ava and I!! The big surprise for all of the kids was Santa Clause. All of the kids were shocked and jumping up and down they were so excited! There was one kid whose screams you could hear above the rest....Ava!! She was the most thrilled that Santa was there and grabbed the teachers (Ms. Palmer) hand and pulled her up to see Santa! After the effort, Santa even gave Ava a toy!! After the recital the kids enjoyed treats and Jack showed Poppy and I around his classroom. Jack is only 1 of 3 boys in his class. I fear this is JAcks fate! All of his cousins are girls, the kids on the block are girls and now his pre-K class! He doesn't seem to mind and I'm sure this will serve him well when he's 16!! He has seemed to make friends with a boy named Cory (seen above). This is the kid who teaches him wonderful things like "Boppy head" which he says constantly and as an insult!! Could be worse, I suppose! All in all, they both had a great time! Can't wait til next recital, hopefully he'll have more boys in his class!
