How is it that boys can find the ONLY mud puddle in the whole long driveway?

And I love it!!!

So do they (Cole and his cousin Gabe)

He looks a little unsure but I promise, he LOVED it!
This is totally something my sisters and I used to do when we were little.

This kid not only is the best mud swimmer around, he is pretty AWESOME at doing puzzles!! Well, he is pretty awesome at everything.

Literally--

Our sweet boy, Cole, was such a late talker. I was worried about him NEVER talking, everyone kept saying "he will talk and he won't ever stop"....well guess what everyone YOU'RE RIGHT!

Tonight, we were eating dinner and Cody asked Cole where Moose was. Cole said he was in Cole's room. So, Cody asked if he was playing with his toys. Cole replies, "No! moosey has no hands, dada!" A few more minutes after almost spitting out our food Cody and I were talking about this Huge project that he is quoting and I was asking him what would be the first thing he would do if it sold. Cody said he would run naked all the way back to the pig barns. Cole's reply: "Thats not a good idea"

A few nights ago our friend was going on a first date and so Cody and I were talking about "Kim's hot date" Well, of course at dinner and for many lunch prayers to follow Cole has insisted we pray for Kim on her hot date. I was getting curious how it was going and joked to Cody that we needed to go eat where Kim and her hot date were. Cole starts whining and saying," No, I don't wanna go, My not wanna be hot!"

These things are way funnier when he actually says them but you get the idea. He is a chatterbox and always seems to have something to say....I think he gets that from me:) Yikes!

Bra shopping with a boy....

So, I attempted bra shopping with Cole the other day. I noticed a few things about Kohl's.

1- The aisles are way to narrow even for a stroller, I could not keep Cole from grabbing every single bra, that he could get his little hands on, and pulling them off the rack.

2- The store has an echoing quality to it, so when your son yells, "Need this BOOB now, mom?!" the whole store can hear you and not every person thinks it is funny.

3- They need a babysitting service for people who need to use the dressing room because Cole thoroughly enjoyed piling up all the "Boobs" and driving his cars up the hills and burying them.

4- I should have thought this one thru before I thought that it was a good idea to take him. All in all I laughed at my little boy more times that I probably should have during the process, he's too cute, I can't help it.

Check out this face! I laugh EVERY time!

New House= Need for more furniture

My friend let me buy this Baker's Rack from her. It was originally cream colored. After way too many cans of the expensive spray paint, it is now Hammered Black. I found this buffet on Craigslist and it was posted at 5:03 P.M. and I quickly e-mailed her at 6:30 P.m. I was really wanting to get this and I DID! It was $50, not too bad.
After 2 coats of paint (Black Magic) and some new hardware, we now have this! The light wood is not a top of any sorts, it is the trim from the window from behind there. This was my first attempt at redoing a bigger piece and it was pretty easy!

"Oh No, Booby Trap!"

So, Cole is obesessed with Booby Traps. We were driving in the car and he kept yelling "Oh No, Booby Trap!" So, finally I just said, "Cole, you like boobies." ( I know, I know, it was totally not appropriate but do I ever censor?) Cole cracks up and is laughing hysterially and in the middle of his belly laughs he says, "Dada likes boobies" We laughed so hard! We are so in trouble, we need to watch what we say. It was funny none the less!

Cole's version of David and Goliath

It was beautiful outside yesterday so Cole was playing in the sandbox and I was sitting by him in a chair. Cole found a hard clump of sand which he called a rock, thank goodness it wasn't really a rock. Cole stand up and walks to me and says, "my need to throw this rock like my bible" I kept asking him "why he throws rock at his bible?" It took a few times to understand that was he was really trying say, and that was, "My need to throw this rock at your head like 'Dabid' and Goliath, Goliath fall down." So apparently he IS listening to the bible stories that he is hearing but I don't think he realizes that Goliath DIES. Lucky for me, I was choosen to be Goliath.

So, I was laying Cole down for a nap today when he announced..."My buy you new wee wee, mom!"
Hmmm...... not sure what to think about that one.
