Twins' First Field Trip

The end of September Shanna and Haley went on their first field trip to Showalter's Orchard.  They had a tour of the apple orchard and got to pick out a mini pumpkin too! We also tasted some delicious, fresh apple cider. I was able to go thanks to my friend Abby, who babysat Elden. The teachers said it was okay if Shanna and Haley went with me, but Haley wanted to stay with her friend (Shanna and Haley are in different classes).  The next field trip, later this month, I am going to "go" with Haley.


It is so pretty out here!


It will be interesting having two kids in the same grade.  My first time experiencing this happened when I took the girls to "meet the teacher night".  I should have had Lee with me, but the letter asked that other siblings not come and Lee was home with them.  Anyway, at the same time the teachers had separate meetings in their individual classrooms.  I took both girls to one room, then left one girl there and took the other to the other room, stayed for a bit and filled out paper work while all the other parents were listening.  Once the teacher had a break I talked to her really quick and had Haley meet her, then went back into the other room to get Shanna.  I guess it doesn't sound that complicated, but for some reason I was caught off guard and realized I should have had Lee with me. There are three K teachers. They know that the girls are twins and are very helpful in that respect. (Not that extra help is necessarily needed, but they understand that I am dealing with two kids in the same grade and not one, but nevermind...this probably doesn't make sense at all!) I was really glad too that Haley didn't care that I was on the field trip and stayed with Shanna.  Thankfully kindergarten homework is really easy (of course) and their teachers are doing similar, if not the same thing, each week. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out in the years to come! Happy Fall!
