We gave Cole a digital camera made specifically for kids for Christmas. It's pretty cute and he really enjoys taking photos with it. After it's full we can then upload the pictures into iPhoto (he even has his own folder) and it's been so much fun. The pictures are priceless and I thought I would share them with all of you.
(more below the photos)
Cole with Whitney Christmas morning. I ordered Cole a matching yellow apron with his name embroidered on it so when we cook together he can wear his special yellow apron and I can wear my pink apron.
This is his GIANT Where the Wild Things Are puzzle from my Dad and Tamara. Pretty cool. Cole likes to put it together and play with the stuffed animal characters he has that go with the story. I think we could open a toy store at our house.....
Ah...breakfast....and Chris' favorite shirt...he's always wearing it Saturday morning.....
More Sock Monkey. Both boys have them and they love them.
So the latest with us:
I put this on my Facebook page but not all my blog readers are on Facebook...so I'll tell it again here...
Last Sunday I was working on some stuff on the computer and all of a sudden Cole started spraying me with water....and ALOT of it. I turned around and asked him what in the world he was doing and he told me "it's Holy Water"....apparently Mass left an impression on him....
also continuing on this theme....Mass with Cole includes:
Cole loudly asking (while the Priest is doing a reading) "Why are those guys in costumes?"
As we are singing he finds the kneel bar and loudly pulls it down....CRASH....and then I look over in horror to see the 96 year old woman next to us cringing in pain because it just smashed into her shin.....and all I can offer is a sincere "sorry"
He then finished off his baggie of small marshmallows and sang the hymn as loud as he could....even though he had no idea what the words were....
This is pure entertainment....
Beyond that excitement Chris had a series of tests this week at work so he's been wound up pretty tight and is enjoying his evening because today was his "Friday" and tomorrow he is getting his hair done. Too much information? That's OK because Chris loves getting his hair done.
I'm doing fine. I've been a bad Mom this week. I only cooked once and we ordered pizza and ate out the rest of the week. We had tacos tonight and they were very good. This weekend we will be having some homemade pizza and hopefully some other delicious Barefoot Contessa meals...I have to plan that all out....
In annoying news: it snowed here again today and I think I spend more time chasing gloves, hats and snow pants than anything else. I will be glad when it is back to warmer weather....in 5 months. Yuck.
So at this point I'm just rambling....so I'll close but Thanks for reading...hope you enjoy the photos.
