Cora and Ruby were so excited for school to start today. They woke up extra early thing morning and came into my room with their uniforms already on. We made German pancakes for breakfast, during which Cora spilled some syrup on her shirt and had to change it, and rode bikes outside to burn off some extra energy. I just dropped them off at the school! The high school football team was waiting outside the elementary school (the high school, middle school, and elementary school are all on the same campus and share a parking lot) and formed a human tunnel for the kids to run through while they shouted “welcome to school!” It was cute. Ruby and Cora both ran through went straight to class without a single tear or complaint. In fact they didn’t even turn around to wave goodbye 😢. Now it’s just Darcy and me at home all afternoon.
Our ward was planning the annual father and sons camp out, and Clayton felt excluded so he planned an annual father and daughters camp out for him and the girls. This year they camped out in Scott’s backyard up in Salt Lake. Before leaving Cora and Ruby made a list of all the things they wanted to do on the camp out. 1. Swim 2. Hike to a waterfall 3. Play with dolls 4. Bake a pie 5. Play games 6. Pull Batman’s teeth 7. Visit Becky 8. Pull one of Batman’s hair 9. Break Batman’s stuff 10. Eat breakfast with Batman 11. Wake Batman up 12. Watch a show 13. Play on his playground I think they were able to do everything except for break his stuff. Tommy and Ruby were about to race, and Ruby told Tommy that the secret to why she was going to win is because she has “girl speed” 💪 Darcy and I stayed home together. It was crazy how quiet our house was with just the two of us. I kept thinking this is how it’s going to be when the twins are in school and it’s just me ...
On Thursday Cora came up with this great idea to plan a party. She got out her paper and pen and started writing a guest list that included her cousins, aunts, uncles, Mimi, and Batman. She wanted to make a cake, play Spot It and Scary Bingo, have an Easter egg hunt, dress up in Halloween costumes, and put out our Christmas tree for decorations. And so Chrismeasterween was created. And I said yes, we should have this fabulous party! So Friday night everyone came over and we followed Cora’s plan. She was over the moon. I just love that she planned the whole thing and was so excited about it. Now Ruby wants to plan a party, but this time it will be for her neighborhood friends and spooky themed.
