Worst. Feeling. EVER.

If there was an award for the most horrible mom - I WOULD BE THE WINNER!!  I was feeling really good today, too.  Received my most awesome mug today from the mug swap (post to be continued...) and it was just awesome!!  The family and I went to support the boys school at Chuck E. Cheese.  Surprisingly, the food was not that bad.  Pizza was alright okay.  Salad bar was actually pretty good.  It is comparable to a Pizza Hut salad (yes, I'm comparing a Pizza Hut salad to a Chuck E. Cheese salad).  Everything seemed fresh and it was clean.  I was impressed.  Anyway, everyone had a good time until we get home.  I'm getting the boys ready to bed.  Taking their blankets out of their school bag and I realize...

UH OH...WHERE IS TYLER'S STUFF??  UH OH.  JAAAASSSSOOOONNNNNN!!!  Oh no!!!!!

Yep - that's right, I left my 2 year old favorite blanket and two three stuffed animals at school.  The stuffed animals are his "ah-ah" (a little blue bean bag monkey which we've tried to get a spare of and it's like $60 or something crazy online) and 2 "boots" (ya know - boots from Dora).  He has a regular Boots which I'm not even sure where he got it from and a baby boots.  Tyler has a thing for monkeys.  hm...that might be a good theme for his 3rd birthday party in November - a jungle.  hmm...that might work.

So, I'm the worst mom cause I left them at school.  Ya see, I got distracted.  Each boy made a Mother's Day gift for me.  Tyler's was the first I saw.  And yes, I cried.  (surprise, surprise)  So, I grabbed it and ran outside to hug his teachers thank you.   I came back in and got Colton where I got another Mother's Day gift.  And teared up again.  (Andrew gave me his earlier in the day, but his teacher cleverly wrapped it, so I won't get it until Mother's Day)  I will be posting pictures later of the actual gifts.  I love them!!!! 

The worse feeling EVER is realizing you left your son's security blanket and snugly animals at school.  I still can't believe I left them....  :( 

New School!

The boys started a new school a few weeks ago.  We were really nervous with the change.  The transition is finally over.  AND THE BOYS LOVE IT!  I can't believe it.  Andrew and Tyler love going to a school.  The boys do a different craft every day and always bring home something.  The teachers are all wonderful!  Each month, a few of the teachers host a "kids night out".  The kids get to stay at school until 10p.m. on a Friday night.  They make a craft, eat pizza, and watch a movie.  Andrew and Ty participated in February and are already looking forward to the night out.  Weird, huh?  It also happens to fall on my RDO.  So I will have a whole day (and night) to myself!!  Yahoo!! 
Ty is making an "all about me" book.  I'm not exactly sure what is in it, but I know he is enjoying making it.  Plus, I get hand/foot prints (which I'm a sucker for) every couple weeks. 
Andrew never wants to come home.  Think about it - he gets a whole classroom all to himself with a ton of toys and crafts.  Also in the classroom are at least a dozen kids his age.  It does make me sad that he doesn't want to stay home with me though.  I guess - I can never be completely happy!! 
We have been invited to two birthday parties already.  I'm excited to meet the other parents.  I also hope to participate in the upcoming family committee meetings and be a room mom!  I can't wait!  Am I being way too excited about this?  I have been spending as much time there as I can.  When I drop off and pick up, I'm there probably at least a half-hour talking to the teachers/directors.  I ask a lot of questions.  I hope I'm not being annoying.  I even want to go in there for a whole day!!  I think that might be a little too much.  I don't want to be one of "those moms", but I just love it.  I know - stop it already.
