School Lunch... and finally seeing the 'mystery man'!!

Since Jerry had some time today before he took off for his convention in Texas, we did a little impromptu lunch date with the kiddos at school...

... and learned yet another difference in the wonder that is twins... (which, by the way, Jerry totally called from the beginning.  As we pulled up to the school, he said, "Seth is going to be so embarrassed that we are here."  I replied, "No he won't, he'll be excited!" ummm, does that make me a part of the 'geeky mom club' for thinking that??!)

We waited by the door for them to come in from play time, on their way to the lunch room.  When Seth came through, we jumped next to him, and said, "Hey Seth!!  We get to have lunch with you today!"  He took one look at us, let out a nervous little giggle... and then did the duck-'n-run to the lunch room line.  (Jerry turned to me with that "toldyaso" smile")


... When we found Sarah in the line, she squealed, grabbed my hand and started repeatedly telling EVEYRONE around her that her mom, dad, and little brothers were HERE!!  She then held on to our hands and jumped up and down pretty much the whole time we waited in line.


Seth did warm up to the idea of having us show up, and I still think that deep down inside he was excited to have us there!!


... and finally... after MONTHS and MONTHS of hearing about "Ethan"... and even getting some glimpses from afar on the playground when dropping the kids off at school... we finally got a glimpse of the little man who has stolen our little 6 year olds heart...
ahhh, young love...

Such cute pictures. You guys were brave going to school lunch. It's like a mad house there! But fun! Sarah looked so cute and excited to have you guys there. Little Seth looked happy too, even though he doesn't want to admit it! ;) Cute cute cute!

How cool that you guys ALL had lunch together at their school. Most kids really do love that, whether they fully show it or not. I've seen K-2 kids cry when their parents don't show up for their lunch. And it is a LOUD lunch but means so much to them. Such cute pictures of you guys and the belated Easter pictures.
