It's almost Advent!

So, let's talk for a minute...
You both have been so good this week. We are so luck to have you as our kids!!
We hung up our advent wreaths, i hope that's okay.
Yay! Tomorrow behind our first day of daily scripture readings. Don't forget, every day place your piece on your scripture board and it will fill it before you know it!
Dean, we are so proud of all the extra work you've been doing with Mom! Your reading is getting faster too!
Dylan, I know yesterday was a very hard day for you. No one likes to get a needle. But did you know, we had to get the same shot in order to come to your house? Yup.
Luke cried a little, but he knew he needed to have it done. Next time, just hold Mommy tight!
Also, I'm so proud of your Donation to St.Jude after getting a you fit you AND Dean yesterday. We got a call that the bells were rung for you in the store and couldn't believe it!
Remember... Christmas is about Family and Friends, not presents :)
Well, we were in such a wonderful mood after you both have us so much kindness magic yesterday, and we found these out in your playroom.

H E L L O!
Ps- beautiful job working together on the 4x4 lego set! It's sooo cool!

What do you get when you cross a lion with a snowman?
Frostbite!

Good Morning!

We are getting ready for the start Advent!
Dylan' I hear you are learning about the letter A for Advent and angels in your school! So cool!
So, do you like our advent wreath? If you get a chance, can you tape it under your scripture log? This way Luke and I can light it every week. We've already colored the first candle so you both can get a idea!
Keep up the kindness guys!
Dylan! So many people are loving your coloring page! Leave a copy for us to bring St.Nicholas!
And Dean, you've been so kind to Dylan lately when no one is watching. We are so proud of your patience!
See you tomorrow!
Leo and Luke

Good morning guys!

Congratulations on working together to complete the crossword puzzle! It was so nice to see how wonderful you hero each other out!
We've brought you back an advent calendar. Don't confuse it with an advent wreath!
Each day starting December 1st once you paste your daily scripture verse, you can open the chocolate for that day!
Dylan, i am loving your first Act of Kindness! Can i have a copy to bring St. Nicholas this week?
Well, keep up the kindness, and don't forget to hug each other!
Love and Sprinkles!
Leo and Luke

Good Morning Dean and Dylan!

Well, We got some awesome magic from all the kindness you both showed your Mom and Dad.

Dylan, you helped your Daddy so nicely yesterday while he was working on the beam! You made his job so much easier, just by finding the screws each time he needed one. Saint Nicholas was so proud of you telling the truth when you made a mistake, and when you did something wrong, too.

Dean, you were so kind to your brother with your special secret project outside. And your idea to surprise your neighbors with acts of kindness, I love it!

So, We got a little bored since you all headed to bed so early, and started to work on our crossword puzzle. Luke was having a little bit of trouble, so I helped him out. That's what big brother's do!

We printed you out one, so that you both can work together!

In three days, you will get your daily scripture reading! Are you excited? And we will also give you a joke to tell your class every day  until Christmas too.

Do you know what season starts Sunday?
That's right! Advent! We heard mommy this morning quizzing you both on the colors of the candles, and we were so happy you both could answer.

Tell Mom to get ready for her Advent wreath, because we are so excited that we will be a part of it this year :)

Did you know that there are 4 main candles? Mommy put's the White candle, the fifth candle, in the center to represent who?

Candle one (purple) represents hope. It is often called the prophets’ candle.
Candle two (purple) represents peace. It is often called the angels’ candle.
Candle three (pink) represents joy. It is often called the shepherds’ candle.
Candle four (purple) represents love. It is often called the Bethlehem candle.

I know Mommy has some really nice books she will be taking out this week too, so be sure to let us know everything you learn so we can go back and let the big guy know you're listening!

Love and Sprinkles,
Leo and Luke

Dear Dean and Dylan,

Unfortunately, by the time our nightly meeting with Santa came, we lost all the magic needed to fly back to you guys for today.
Luke is very sad, and St.Nicholas said he is very concerned that we will not get back to you before the season of Advent begins.

Dean, we can see you trying your best, and want you to know that we are very proud of you. Please continue to be kind, listen to your Mom and Dad, and please, don't talk back to Mom.

Dylan. When Mommy tells you not to do something, please listen the first time. She only wants you to be a good boy.
I will not be able to come back with Leo tomorrow, as my magic today is not filled enough. Leo has enough magic. I do not :(

Well, December 1st is when we get enough magic to be able to do a bunch of kind things for you both, as long as you do kind things for each other.

PS- WE CAN NOT WAIT to see your trees!!! We watched yesterday as you guys put them up and were so sad we were not there to see it...

Love and sprinkles
Leo And Luke

Well, we are back for the 2017 year, and we can not wait!
Dylan is such a big boy now, and we are trying to find your acts of kindness every day.

Dean, although yesterday you thought we weren't watching, when you boys snuck downstairs to see our North Pole breakfast, we noticed your act of kindness while walking up the stairs to wake Mommy and Daddy up.

You let Dylan walk in front of you, and when he tripped, straight away you asked if he was okay. That was so kind.

So, remember, December 1st starts the season of Advent. And if you are kind, and listen to Mom and Dad, you will have the best season ever.

Dylan, Santa almost didn't let Luke come back with me because you threw dirt into your brothers face. That was not nice at all. You have to learn to talk, and stay calm. Your feelings are very important and we want you to start workingthis week on being CALM. We know you can do it, and Mommy can help!

See you tomorrow! Don't forget to do Random Acts of Kindness, Listen to Mom and Dad, and be kind to one another!

Love and Sprinkles,
Luke and Leo
