Imagination

Wow, it's been awhile since I've postd anything. The kids and I spent a week at my mom's house and had so much fun! Here are some recent photos.

Sunday afternoon the boys watched the first Indiana Jones movie with Kris. Monday morning Indiana Jones came down my stairs in the morning! Cole got up and figured out his own "costume" (including a dish towel for a whip) and he seriously stayed in character all day! It was amazing - he never broke it. He talked with a deep voice, and anytime I called him Cole he corrected me by telling me that his name was Indiana Jones. Here are a few of his quotes from the day:
(Keep in mind the deep voice while he's saying all of these)

"Your son invited me here. He said I could come."
"Your boy is in the basement. He'll be there til tomorrow, but he is OK"
"I like blue like your kid does"
"I'll have fruity pebbles because that's what I'm used to having where I come from"
"Michelle (he called me Michelle rather than mom all day) if your daughter tries to get on the kitchen table I will whip her!"
"I saw that movie I am in - Indiana Jones - before your kid saw it and I totally think my rope is tougher"
"Joshua and Alaria - Your mom said to be good!"
"I like to watch kid shows. (then I asked him how old he was) I am almost 24. (when is your birthday, Indiana?) It's tomorrow, Michelle. (Oh wow - tomorrow! We should have a birthday party for you) and without hesitation he holds his hand up with his palm facing me and says "No, no, that's OK. I will be at my house tomorrow and your son will be here"

About halfway through the day Josh got in on the fun and became Batman. He didn't get it quite as well. When we asked where Josh was he would tell us "No I'm not Josh, I am Batman". They sure have an imagination!

Alaria found this hat of my dad's while we were visiting and she would either wear it on her head or around her back (see below) the whole week. It was so cute.

We had a fun family picnic in the park a few weeks ago. Thanks to LauraLee for capturing some great photos for me!

Cole is too funny! Isn't it funny to picture what your kids might become someday?
I'm glad Kris liked the tortillas. I tried making oatmeal cookies tonight - not so successful - gf oatmeal is really coarse so the oatmeal still tastes too whole or raw or something to me. I tried making oatmeal in the morning. I cooked it for like a half hour and it still didn't break down into what I would call cereal. Yuck!
Your kids make me laugh. Thanks for sharing!

I laughed really hard at this post! I can't believe he kept it going that long!! What cute things he said. Eric still mentions that Cole's favorite color is blue :)

Wow it must always be fun to live at your house without a single dull moment! Your kids are so cute! Can I adopt Alaria?

Great news! Kelly Harker was at Pier 49 in AF this past week & asked if they have gf pizza yet. They said they did!

Your kids are so cute. I think Cole is more like Kris then I thought. Watch out when he comes down stairs dressed in a wet suite for high school. Trey loves the pictures of Josh and Alaria is so cute.

Oh my gosh, I'm laughing so hard!!! Cole is hilarious. I cannot believe he kept that up ALL DAY LONG. He is quite a character, I can't wait to see what the future holds for him.

You guys have the cutest little kids--in every way. I love that Cole called you Michelle all day, and he eats Fruity Pebbles where he comes from.

And I thought that Caleb was a little character...Cole is hilarious!! Sounds like you have a class clown on your hands:) At least he's not boring!

I have a son - Little Billy - he's fun and funny - sounds like your Cole. Cute pictures of your adorable kids!

I'm Kellan, btw - nice to meet you. Hope to see you soon.

Thanks for a little midnight laugh before I go to bed. Cole kills me and I only wish I could have been there to see him and hear him!!
