Yes, we hit 0 degrees today! Okay, seriously enough is enough! We are dreaming of a tropical vacation that maybe we will get to in oh maybe 5 years! Still though it is a good dream. I am wondering how my boys are so completely opposite and if possibly Ryan was supposed to be twins! There is a lot of energy bundled up in that adorable little boy. He follows me around the house saying, "mama, where are you?". It melts my heart. But recently he has picked up Raef's fabulous question of "huh?" or "what?". That definitely gets me agitated when Raef says it a thousand times a day and now I have two of them saying it. Last week after dinner I sent Raef upstairs to get his pjs on and he didn't return. Of course I noticed right away(well, okay maybe 10 minutes later) and went upstairs to see what kind of trouble he had made. He was in the bathroom hiding behind the door. I realized a second later why he was hiding. His face had been colored with a black permanent marker leaving only a few sparce spots of skin. He looked like he had a black mask on. He said sorry as soon as he saw my reaction which was probably a puzzled look as I was trying to decide what I would use to explain my son's black face at church the next day. Luckily it came off pretty easy, although I think Raef learned his lesson quickly as i had to scrub to get it off. Trent saw it and told Raef no books for bed because of what he had done. Raef was devastated. That is his favorite time of the day. Trent went downstairs too mad to deal with him and I got him ready for bed and calmed him down. We talked about what had happened and I explained why daddy was so mad. Raef very sadly said, "mom, I just wanted to be a superhero like daddy." My heart sank. Trent has a brown spot on the back of his arm that Raef thinks is a spiderbite which makes daddy Spiderman. he really does believe daddy is a superhero. Then he found a freckle on his hand and proudly showed everyone he knew and didn't know explaining how he was a real superhero. That was the day he made himself a mask. what superhero doesn't have a mask? Needless to say, Trent slept with his little superhero that night.
