Today was the twins' first separation class...They did FANTASTIC! Jenny made me promise that I wouldn't drive away - which I didn't - but she did not give me even one ounce of trouble when I left. I was so proud of her - I guess the prepping for the past month worked!
Nicky was as go-with-the -flow as ever. Later Mom. LOL and the helper said he was very good during the class - so that is a relief - no meltdowns!
Whew! One down - five more to go!
Then September ... Preschool. Scary Scary Stuff!
Def Leppard concert tonight! Rock on Bitches!

Last day of school...
Well, it is the last day of school - Joey is so excited! All three kids got their hair cut. Jenny got about an inch or so cut off and both boys got a buzz cut. I will post pics later if I can.
Quick funny story....This morning I was driving Joey to school and I said "Boy, you got some hair on those legs kiddo." and he said:
"Well, I AM a man!" lol
Also - like I said before, Nicky got a buzz cut - which he usually doesn't get. He was looking in the mirror and he said "I am Matthew!" LOL
and one more story, this one from Jenny.
I took her to work with me yesterday and I asked her to sing Twinkle Twinkle to me - she said "Mommy get the recording thing!"
When I told her that I didn't have it with me, she said she couldn't sing. What a DIVA!
Talk to everyone soon!
Love ya

I'm a clown fish!
Quick story. We were all sitting at dinner Wednesday night. Jenny was saying that she is a princess. So then Joey said he is the King. I asked Nicky "Nicky, are you the Prince?" and he furrowed his brow and yelled:
"I'm a clown fish!"
Obviously, Finding Nemo has been the movie of the month and he said it just like Marlin did in the seen with Dory when he said "This isn't funny, and I know funny....I'M A CLOWN FISH!"
We all cracked up laughing - the things my kids come up with!

Kind of cute...
Very hectic day yesterday. Up at 7am, Mommy and me at 9:30, Work at 11, drop kids at Toniann's at 12 (thanks again!), plant sale at Joey's school 12:30 - 3:30, back to Toniann's at 4pm and then all the nighttime rituals.
Anyway, as Jenny does, she bugged out when I left her at Toniann's yesterday, only for 5-10 minutes but it still kills you.
When I got back to To's to pick her up she said "Mommy, you're back" and I said "Of course, Mommy ALWAYS comes back."
So this morning when I was leaving for work - she did her usual "Mommy, don't go nowhere." when she first woke up and I told her I had to go to work but Daddy was staying home. As I was leaving, she said "Bye Mommy, I will see you later because you always come back!"
It was so sweet - she is my little buddy - I wanted to pick her up and take her with me but I thought that would be counter-productive.
I don't know how her separation class will be this summer or pre-school in the Fall. We shall see but hopefully she is turning a corner on the seperation anxiety thing.
Talk to everyone soon.
If I don't post again:
Happy Mother's day to All old moms, new moms, step moms, soon-to-be moms and everyone else!
Happy Mother's day Mom - we will see you on Sunday!
Love,
Jenn

Joey's communion
Well, it was definately a wet wet day! The weather called for rain only later in the day so my sisters and I were up till 10pm the night before setting up the tent and tables for the party. Long story short.......rain from morning till night!
So, we jammed everyone into my house and had a nice time anyway. I didn't get alot of pics...by the time the ceremony was over, Joey was ready to play with his cousins and they didn't allow pics in the church. So here is what I have:
Joey's communion
Thank yous:
Thank you for Kelly and Robin for helping me set up.
Thank you to mom for the delicious cookies!
Another Thank you to Robin for the wonderful Cannoli's
Thank you to Sal and Shavon for helping set up the food while we were at the church.
Thank you to Krissy who corralled Nicky in the crying room!
Thank you to Colleen for the great food!
Thank you to everyone for coming and sharing Joey's day! That night he convinced me to take him to Toys R Us to spend some of his "loot". The rest was deposited into his college account so thanks again!
Talk to everyone soon.

1st Baseball Game of the season
It is officially baseball season! Joey had his first game today. He got up to bat twice - he grounded to first and then hit a single.
He played pitcher, left field and catcher. He had a great time - well most of the time. It was such a nice day that I ended up cutting out of work earlier then I should have but what can you do right?
We spent the rest of the day outside - we took a walk and then Joey rode the babies on the tractor for a bit. We even ate outside - both dinner and dessert! It was a good day.
Here are some pics:

Well Visit
The twins had their 3 year check up on Thursday.
Nicky is 36 inches tall and 32 lbs. He is a little above average.
Jenny the peanut is 34 inches tall and only 26lbs! LOL BUT...she actually made it onto the chart - it only took 3 years! She is in the 5th percentile - little munchkin. LOL
They were both sitting in their undies when the doctor came in and both of them yelled "HI! Doctor!"
When the doctor grabbed Kick's little nuggets and told him to cough - he did it once and then the 2nd time he grabbed her hands and pulled them off and said "NO!!!!!!!" Good boy!
Joey's first baseball game is April 18th - not sure of the time yet.
Have a good Easter!

a couple of pics
Hey everyone! Not much going on, just waiting for Spring to hurry up and get here. We are trying to get the yard ready for Joey's communion but with all of these rainy weekends I am slowly losing hope!
The kids are going a little stir crazy too - as you can see by the picture below:
This past Sunday was finally nice and the kids played outside ALL day long. Matthew slept over the night before and then hung out all day. Sammy came by after work and had dinner with us. It was a really good day.

Like I said - not much going on. Joey started baseball again this past week. The twins go for their annual check up on Thursday. I will hopefully get some more pics up soon - these were taken with my crappy cell phone camera!
After dinner, Joey went to Matthew's house. The twins took a bath and then completely conked out on the couch:

Jenny's first haircut
I went to get Nicky's hair cut and I asked to get bangs cut into Jenny's hair...I ended up taking about an 1 1/2 inches off of her hair.. She was such a good girl!
Nicky wasn't too happy but he looks handsome.

Voila!!! The finished product..such a pretty girl!

We have Poop!
OK - gross entry but we must record the milestones!
The day before yesterday (on his birthday), Nicky did Poopy on the Potty! It was a 2 hour ordeal but I refused to put a diaper on him - so it was either the toilet or his underwear and - thank goodness - he chose the former!
Being the enterprising young woman that I am - I told Jenny that Nicky can get birthday presents and birthday cake b/c he is a big boy. If she didn't do poop on the potty then she wasn't going to be able to get a birthday cake. (Ok - I know, I know, cruel..blah blah blah...and if it didn't work it would have been a huge blow to my credibility when she got her gifts on Sunday but..)
It took her less then 24 hours and she did poop on the potty too!!! She was so proud of herself!
I have never done the "Poopy in the Pott-ay" song so much in my life!
And if you were wondering, yes - I took a picture with my camera phone and sent it to Joe at work! LOL
Have a good one!

That bugger has been holding out on us....
So as most of you may know, I have been potty training Jenny but Nicky has had absolutely no interest whatsoever in it. I ask him if he wants to go on the potty and he simply tells me "Nope!".
Last week I pretty much didn't give him a chance and said "Kick - you are putting underwear on now - let's go!" He resisted at first - ended up running around naked a little bit and then within an hour - was peeing on the potty!
After that - a complete champ - he has maybe one accident a day and it is usually when he is completely pre-occupied with something and just forgets.
AND...He has been waking up in the morning completely dry! Jenny doesn't even do that yet..So I think he has been potty trained for months - he was just holding out on us!
He hasn't pooped yet...but he is a toilet reader! LOL:

Oldie but a goodie....
The McKelvey Girls:
Not too much going on...
Joey had his first reconciliation on Saturday (confession is what we called it in our day). He is so cute – he confessed that he talks too much when he should be listening in class – lol. For the life of me I can’t understand why they make 7 year olds confess. It makes no sense whatsoever – what could they possibly have to confess?
The twins each have a cold – Jenny is so dramatic. Joey asked her for a kiss goodbye yesterday morning and she said “No Joey – I’m sick – no kisses!” LOL Then, when I got home I said "Hey Jenny girl - how are you feeling?" and she looked at me like I was stupid and said "Mom, I not crying!" LOL
Finally - a Nicky story….I call Joe “Babe” and every once in a while Nicky will call him babe if he is not listening – he will say “Dad? Dad? BABE!” So yesterday morning we were watching Franklin (God I love Noggin!) and he said “Mommy – there’s Franklin and there is the Daddy the Babe”
That's it - no updated pictures since Christmas. Talk to everyone soon!

How hard is it to get ONE freakin' picture????
Step 1. Negotiation: You can't open presents until you sit for ONE picture.
Step 2: Organization
Step 3: Logistics - how do you fit 11 kids on one couch????
Step 4: Corralling the big kids (yes you, Kristin, Kenny and Samantha) - notice all the little ones in place and also notice that Aaron is getting really freakin' bored!
Step 5: Apparently someone needs to turn down the TV first????? WTF????
Step 6: Almost perfect....except - hey - where the hell is Samantha's head????
Step 7: Oh there she is...wait, what's wrong with the camera - why the hell is it blurry and where did KJ go ????????
