Lee wanted me to take some pictures of the frost in the morning when we walk to school. Both boys are really fascinated by it. Lee keeps talking about pail (hail). He has never seen it and really wants to. Today we were talking about how the sunlight on the frost makes the whole world look like it's covered in diamonds or glitter glue is what Rylan said and Lee said or crystals. Lee exclaimed that even the garbage cans look pretty in the sun with frost on them. They love looking at their dragons breathe and trying to make different shapes. Lee says he looks like a steam engine puffing! Rylan wants to find a magnifying glass to use to look close at the ice crystals and Lee wants to bring bubbles with next time to see if the bubbles do anything different in the cold. Rylan told Lee he can teach him how to build an igloo like he did with me and they are both really hoping for snow this year.
I love that they are growing up and so fun to talk to at this age. But I also just wish they could stay this age forever. We have so much fun!

A lot of cute going on with Lee & Rylan lately!

The last few days have been really cold and frosty and it makes both boys want to stay curled up in the mornings so I usually wake them up with some time to lay in bed a few minutes and have the heater on high with their clothes close to it so they warm up a little. Rylan has been having an especially hard time getting up saying he is just too tired and can't move. We have been walking to school while one of our vehicles get's fixed so he complains about that too, "I don't want to get up and walk, I can't why can't we ever drive?!" (but he seems to enjoy the walks when we do them) and he get's to fill out a fitness calendar when he walks to school too so that is a bonus. I explain to him that we won't always have to walk but we will sometimes because it is healthy and that doesn't help. Lee is easier to wake up in general. He pops right up rubs his eyes and get's dressed. Well I took their breakfast orders and told them to get dressed in their warm clothes while I make their breakfast. Once I got downstairs I turned on the baby monitor (that they don't know about) and listened to Rylan complaining and Lee trying to cheer him up. It was so precious to hear! Lee said, "we won't always have to walk to school, the car will get fixed" and then he started singing silly songs that made rylan start cracking up non-stop and soon they were both laughing and running downstairs all ready to go! It was one of those mornings I felt really thankful that they get along so great most of the time and have each other to help make some things a little easier than they would be alone :)

Today rylan told me that he loves me more than everything and in a circle around and around and around forever. And that he loves me even more than Mario and Luigi! (which made my mouth drop)

Yesterday Lee got two eyelash wishes, he didn't tell me what the first one was but when I asked him what the second one was he just said, "I like you :)" and hugged up to me and kissed my cheek. I said, " Oh I like you too, thank you for saying that! But what did you wish for?" He said, "That's it! I didn't even wish for a toy" It was so cute I didn't care that it wasn't really a wish...and more like a sweet thought.

Yesterday Lee told Rylan he liked his fleece jacket and that he looked like a "prince" in it. Rylan didn't know what a prince was. And Lee told him that a prince is someone brave and important waiting to be a king. Rylan liked that :)

Rylan has gotten 4 wisdom notes and Lee has gotten 4 wisdom notes and a certificate they both have been doing great in school! Rylan has gotten to bring home 2 times for being the best listener and Lee got to bring home Mango 2 times for being the best listener too.

A little girl, Lucy that is in Rylan's class calls him her boyfriend and tells him she loves him all the time. I have become friends with her Mom and she told me Lucy is already engaged to another boy from a different school (I can't remember if I blogged about that yet!)

Rylan drew a picture that was supposed to be of something he is thankful for. He wrote next to it that he is thankful for Mom Love it melted my heart. I was expecting him to say he is thankful for Mario or something like that.

I asked Rylan what else he is thankful for:

Playing with Lee
Being good at cleaning up
He said it cute like, "It starts with an M wait do you start with an M?" I said yes and guessed "Mom?!"
Being with my Mom
I love Lee
I like sleeping in the same room as Lee and eating breakfast next to Lee
I love the silly way Michael reads stories
When Lee wears those silly glasses to make me laugh
Juliette coming over
Making pasta

I think I will ask him again later and see if he can come up with any more!
