Mrs. Koop's Last Day

We have been incredibly lucky to have Mrs. M this year but were doubly blessed when she had a student from St. Clair join her this winter for her placement.  Mrs. Koop arrived with a super smile and warm personality and charmed the pants off Evan from the very beginning.  She was very involved from the start and in no time you would have never guessed she was a student. 

She will continue to volunteer from time to time until the end of the school year and we wish her all the best as she seeks full time employment!

The Twins are 5 Years Old!

Well at 1:23 pm and 1:28 pm respectively it was official.  Both boys got their birthday kisses at precisely the exact time!  We had a special Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle party today to celebrate.  The boys were quite excited when they saw the set-up in the dining room. 

Evan was a little under the weather early in the afternoon.  Thankfully Tylenol did it's job and after a long nap he was feeling better.  They opened the last of their gifts after dinner.  Evan went absolutely crazy for his "Elmo's Daddy" movie aka Travel Songs and Games.  Damn, I hope this one lasts.  It's getting harder and harder to find!

Birthday Party

We celebrated the twins 5th birthday last night with family.  They had a lot of fun.  Tommy wanted a "Lightning McQueen" cake and of course, Evan wanted "Elmo".  I had Luc create a pic for me that I had printed off at Sobey's.  It is edible and can be added right on top of a slab cake.  It looked great!

While I was at Sobey's I quickly ran into the Dollarama and grabbed a few balloons.  I grabbed two of the "Lightning McQueen" so there would be no fighting and a few random balloons.  Naturally they fought over this stupid smiley face one.  It was so bad we ended up picking up a second one in Essex to stop the drama!

 

Hiding in his room after a lot of running around!  He needed some quiet time!

 

 

The following day we were at church when a special announcement was made that it was the boys birthday.  Everyone sang "Happy Birthday" for them.  They were so excited.  Evan was clapping and cheering afterwards.  It brought tears to my eyes.  Everyone there is so kind to the boys.  They are the celebrities of Woodslee United Church!
