Couch Potato

So Wyatt and Colt both spent Sunday with 102 degree temperatures. Since it was 107 degrees outside there weren't many options for entertainment. They spent the entire day on the couch. Colt got up and moved around occasionally, to draw or play with toys. Wyatt never budged. This should not surprise anyone who knows Wyatt, he is my child with the greatest couch potato potential. So after 12 straight hours of television Sunday, Wyatt looks at me with a gleam in his eye and says, "Mommy, I sat in front of the TV ALL day long!"

Where's Rufus?

So Colt chooses a book at bedtime called "Nathan and Rufus Learn to Share." It is about two lions who are best friends and learn how to share toys. I was excited that it might teach him some valuable lessons about playing nice with his brothers. But at the end of the book he just looked at me and said, "Nathan was in Iowa. Rufus was not." At least we know he has a good memory.

Fish Tale

So Colt is still talking about his first fishing trip. His Dad, Uncle Tom, Pa and Great Grandpa took him to the family farm in Iowa over the weekend. Last night in the bathtub he pretended to "fish" with his leg. He would catch the fish between his toes and ask me to remove them. He instructed me on how to remove the hook between his toes...and then toss them back in the water. He giggled every time his "catch" splashed back in. Ahhhh...good memories.

Back on Track

Sorry for the delay in posts...my laptop keyboard has malfunctioned...the "R" would not work...the frustration kept me from writing comments for several weeks...I've got a temporary fix...stay tuned for updated cuteness.

New Ride

So the three year old finally has his own wheels! He needs to work on his driving skills! In his first ride he wrecked with Joe's car, three bushes and Wyatt's John Deere. But based on the dazzling smile I think the ladies will dig him anyway!

What's Up Doc?

So Wyatt is officially in love with Bugs Bunny. At the grocery store today he lets out a cheer in the produce aisle. "It's a bunny carrot," he says. Clearly I've been wasting my money on the little bagged ones.
