Unbelievably, the big boys turned six last week. It has been a fun filled week! They had 3 days off school last week (one of which was on their birthday) due to snow. It's cute to see them look forward to the little things at school. When I told Leyton I didn't think he'd have school on his birthday, he started crying...he had been looking forward to getting called to the office and getting his "birthday treat." Luckily, I made sure that they'd get called today, on their first day back. All is good.
So for their birthday, they wanted grilled cheese for lunch & dinner. They also enjoyed playing with their new stuff. We actually spent 2 hours that morning with me and the five kids at the toy store getting their presents from us...I went to the store Wed. evening to get their gifts, but the store closed early due to the weather. Yikes! It was fun, though, and the kids did great.
I sure love Nathaniel. He is such a sweet peace-keeper, always willing to help to make someone else happy. I told him that it is so nice of him to be that way and he reminds me, "that's what Jesus did; he thought of others first." Perfect answer! He's also very persistent and doesn't give up easily. He works hard and has such a fun and sweet heart.
And my sweet Leyton. He is so mature and easy going. I'm proud of how hard he works, too, and picks up on things so quickly. I admire that he goes with the flow so well and likes to have fun. He's becoming more independent with play and with making his own decisions. He is a protective big brother, too.
It's so hard to believe that they are six. Time sure flies. We love them so much. Pictures of them to follow.
