First Day of School...where's Connor?

As you can imagine, we barely got Connor off to school and the twins started asking where their brother was. They actually seemed okay with the response "he's gone to school", but then they wanted to know if they were going too. Unfortunately, not till next week:) Instead of sitting around the house missing Connor we went to run errands which included the bank and our favorite place, Costco. There is never a dull moment hanging out with a set of "Black Twins." The bank was doing a little decorating for summer with a few blow-up flamingos and the boys started running around the empty atrium yelling "Kiddie-up." I don't know who laughed more...us or the cop! The cop decided to reward their bad behavior with a sucker. Then they posed for pictures. We had all the workers smiling. Next stop was Costco. As we strolled through loading up on groceries, we found a halloween blow-up with scary music to accompany it. Well, being a well prepared mom, I drug out the camera and told the boys to smile. Grant was so accommodating, but Preston was scared out of his head. Dad decided he should take a look and Preston regrettingly took a pic. What a day! Connor missed out on so much, but heard all about it over dinner. We asked Connor at dinner what his favorite part of the day was and he responded with a typical first grade answer, "Getting my name called for the car riders' line and not having to spell." What can you say to that>?!
