Colors

Every so often the boys really surprise me. I cleaned out their bedroom yesterday afternoon, packed away summer clothes and sorted through all the winter stuff we had. I filled their drawers with stuff that was “new” to them. I was really excited out my “cleanup” job but what surprised me was how excited they were when they saw all the new stuff! They were screaming and yelling “Papa, come here, come here!” They were running from room to room opening their drawers and showing Papa all the new stuff they had.

We’ve been SO blessed with clothes from friends. Their drawers are stuffed full and I had two bags of stuff we didn’t need.

Matt’s been at school for two weeks now and Tim had his first week. They both LOVE it.

We've all getting more comfortable with each other and sometimes the boys will talk Russian and we won't even realize it. It's weird, but sometimes I feel like I can read their minds. Matt is going through two weeks of "colors". Each day starting last Monday his class concentrates on a color. Last week Thursday was green. Wednesday night we were looking for a green toy that he could bring in for Show & Tell and he looked at me said "Mom, small green toy!" and somehow I know he was talking about the toy he got in his Burger King lunch last Sunday. I responded with "I think it's in the car" and he said "YES!". We just saw it earlier that day because I cleaned out my car.
