Lucy and Kevin's house was as quiet as a mouse . Kevin was already at work and the twins, Aaron and Todd were still sleeping. Lucy on the other hand was wide awake with coffee in her hand. Lucy had always been an early bird since she had had the twins. The morning was the only time she had alone from the crazy day with two royal six year olds, a toddler and a very curious one year old. It took all she had just to keep them safe, occupied, and happy until Kevin came home. As Lucy was sitting in the living room she heard Todd start to cry. It was only 7:30. She knew this was going to be a very long day. She walked into Todd's room. "Its ok little guy." She whispered and took him out of his crib. She carefully held him as she made her way downstairs. She was only sitting their for a few minutes when she heard it. Thunder…no metal crashing with metal…no her twin six year olds, as they came arguing down the steps. She motioned for them to be quiet. "Girls! Aaron is still sleeping!" Lucy said in a loud whisper. "Sorry mom." Bailey said. Bailey had always been the busy body, boss of the world, loud mouth twin. Though her sister didn't fall very far behind. "Mom…can you make us some pancakes today?" asked Sophia other wise known as Sophie. "Honey…when was the last time you had a hot meal for breakfast?" Lucy reminded them. "Well when was the last time I had hot baby food?" Sophie asked smartly. "Oo, hun!" Lucy chuckled. She put Todd down and went into the kitchen. "All I can promise you today is hot oatmeal." Lucy offered. " Well that's a start. Before you know it mom you'll be making us bacon and eggs." Bailey said. "Honey the next time I'll be making that is when you are in college." Lucy replied as she put the oatmeal in a pot on the stove. By the time the oatmeal was ready Aaron was up and they were all sitting at the table. In the middle of breakfast the phone rang.
RING…Ring…ring… "Hello?" asked Lucy.
"Hey honey, " replied Kevin "Hey!" replied Lucy. " What's up?" "Just checking. If everything is alright I will get back to work." Kevin answered "Everything is just dandy." replied Lucy "OK, cya " he said as he hung up the phone. Lucy hung up the phone and sat down. To start a conversation, Lucy started talking. "So girls, are you excited for first grade?" The girls were June babies and had turned six right after kindergarten had ended. "Yeah…I have Mrs. Sampson!" responded Bailey. " I have her, too!" chimed in Sophie. " Well…do you guys want to go to the park today?" Lucy asked. It would give her a break, when the girls and Aaron played. She could take Todd, and keep him in his stroller. I am sure he will be kept busy by the passing ladies who cooed over him. "Ok…lets get ready and head out!" Lucy said as she rounded her kids up the stairs.
