All the love

All the love for these two guys. They make me laugh. They make me smile. They make my heart full.

One thing I love is bringing them little treats for after school. Today it was a box of fancy cookies from Hansel & Gretel, which they scarfed down almost immediately. Last week it was a package of Nerds (for Nico - he's the candy/sugar-lover) and a Hershey's Cookies-n-Cream candy bar (for Agus - he's the chocolate lover).

Right now they are into lots of Kindle play and Minecraft. After homework's done, lunches are packed, uniforms laid out, and homework signed and put away, we often get the question, "Can we play on our Kindle?" Usually the answer is yes, and depending on the time, they may get up to an hour before it's time to eat supper. They usually sit together, playing together and giving each other advice.

This weekend at the beach they brought their Nintendo 2DS (because there would be no Internet access) and on the way home Nico said, "I forgot how fun my Nintendo is!"

If they aren't on their Kindles, they are on their iPods/iPhones, texting Bati and listening to music (especially Agus - he'll sit for hours just listening to all his favorite songs. Apple Music was definitely a good buy for him!). At the beach they both would wake up early (around 7 a.m.), and go put on their respective headphones and just listen to music until the rest of the house was awake.

That's what their obsessions are at this time. And in between all of this, they sometimes read, write stories (Agus) or "theories" (Nico), or play "soccer" in the little hallway outside of the bedrooms.

Like I said, all the love.
