Preparing for you

Oh sweet girl we are so ready to meet you! In less then 60 days we will finally get to put our hands on you and shower you with love and kisses. Your brothers and I talk about you everyday and they are already in love with you! 

In the meantime, we are getting your room ready.  Elle loaned you some of her precious things so you'll be fashionably  dressed for sure!  Hudson has been a real helper and has taking a liking to organizing the goodies from the bins. And he's pretty good at it!

Going through Elle's stuff Hudson says "she is so nice" I say "who" he says "Elle"! 

He decides these are best displayed in a drawer. He stacks each pair side by side and begins to sort the socks. I added a basket to catch the socks and he says "well that's a good idea!"

Later I find Hudson has carefully placed you some friends in your crib. He loves Daniel Tiger and thought you might too! 

Ryker wanted to put a picture of him and Hudson in your nursery. He said if you wake up and don't know where you are at least you'll be able to see familiar faces. Xoxoxoxo

**update**

Hudson came into my bedroom smelling like a baby.  I said Hudson you smell like the baby's room have you been playing in there? "yes, I was laying out her clothes. I don't know if they are pants or a shirt."  He takes me in there and sure enough he is laying out all her clothes on the floor. Mostly onsies. 

Math genius

In the car the other day: 

Ryker: "hey mom, I figured something out"

Me: "ok what you got?"

Ryker: "if I add up all of our ages and include Cosmo we total 100!"

Me: "hmmm....let me get out my calculater....???"

Ryker: "You are 37, plus Daddy is 40. That's 77. Then I'm 7 and Hudson is 4, so 77 plus 11 is 88.  And Cosmo is 12, right? So that's 100!"

Me:  🤔

Saturday 2:45pm

Mommy this is the longest day ever. It should be night time by now. - Hudson

So bored he's cleaning. And singing a song about it. 

Back to School

It's only day 3 being back at school.

Here's what we know:

Both boys are spending this school year on the second floor. 

We wrestle in our house (apparently)

Our goal: meet new friends

Hudson doesn't like to be alone...unless he's hiding. We couldn't find Hudson for a good ten minutes one morning. We were just about to "leave him" since he was making Ryker late until he finally emerged from under the bed.  He tells us he was hiding because I left him alone in the bathroom. 

Everyone sleeps better in mommy's and daddy's bed. 

Ryker would be at school at 7am if he could. He likes getting there early so he can play. 

Hudson hasn't quite warmed up to his new class yet but tells me he's making happy choices. 

Yaya is really good at covering books. 

You can always count on mamma to get Ryker off the bus. 

There is still a lot of built up energy to let out after a full day of class and recess. 

Cafeteria serves better food then mommy. Especially on taco Tuesday's. 

We are not morning people. 

Our tennis pro

Rykers a natural. He doesn't quite love the game yet but he's definitely good at it. We'll stick with it and see what happens. Proud of this little guy! 

Sweetness

I could watch him sleep all night. This little guy just passed out in our bed. We thought he was faking! But knew it was no joke when that nunu fell out and he stayed sleeping. Such a cute face! Stay small forever. 

Forever young

At four and half I love that he still wants his "baby Elle". Although he also still wants his nunu and it's really time for that to go. But honestly it's all good with me! He will always be my baby. 

I told him we needed to get a our new baby a Baby Elle.  

Takes his nunu out,"We need to get her her own baby Elle. Wait what's Elle's last name?" 

Thompson. 

Takes his nunu out, "what's her middle name?"

Marie. 

Thinks....goes back to playing iPad. 

Maybe he's trying to give baby sister's Baby Elle a new name? 

What I hear

"Mommy it's water day tomorrow. Going to be so fun."

Wakes up next morning. 

"Mommy it's water today. Today is tomorrow!"

I sent pizza and Capri suns for his class. When I picked him up he said "mommy you didn't send enough juice. My friend wanted another juice and miss Rebecca said there isn't enough for everyone to have two. Next time you need to send more juice."

=/ Noted. 

I apologize

I found this note upstairs. 

The B-I-B-L-E

Hudson asked me to read him the bible today. We started at the beginning with the story about God creating the world and everything in it each day. Hudson said "God did a lot! He needs to take a break!".

I'm loving here him sing his songs too. 

Game night

After Christmas we got so many fun games and toys we've started doing regular nights. Our favorites are Uno, Candy land, Battleship and Sorry.  Boys also love making their own creations with magnets. I just love to see them play together! 

Artist at work

Ryker drew this in his workbook and he was so impressed with himself he wanted me to take a picture. I was pretty impressed myself. He gets this talent from his daddy. 

Hudson

Mamma took the boys to get their haircuts today at Liz. Hudson fell asleep in the chair. She told me another girl had to hold up his head so Liz could cut around his ears. Long day!!
