The Captain

Zane just marched down the stairs and announced, "Somebody's Haptain Cook!"

The Puddle Jumper

So Zane has never met a puddle he hasn't wanted to jump in.

Typical for a little boy, but Zane is fanatical.

We walked through a parking lot today, he hit every puddle screaming, "Cannonball," as he jumped!

School Kid

So Wyatt is officially a kindergartener.

He handled the first day better than I did!

Each child had a "first day of school" coloring sheet at their desk.  Wyatt started coloring immediately and insisted on finishing it so I could take it with me!

I successfully held back tears until I made it to the classroom door, when Wyatt ran after me and said, "One more hug Mommy."

It only worse as Zane became confused and upset when we were heading to the car, "Mommy, Wyatt back there. We no leave Wyatt."

Big brother was missed by all.

In The Driver's Seat

Colt says, "When Wyatt goes to kindergarten tomorrow will he get his driver's license?"

Movie Buffs

Cold, rainy day means a trip to movies.  

Thumbs up from Colt, who says the best part of "Planes" is at the end when "the orange guy wins and the green guy gets dirty."

Zane just loved the giant vat of popcorn.

Brrrrrrr!

It's 64 degrees in August.  

The Southern born boys have broken out the winter clothes!

Only Colt refused.  "It looks too much like Christmas," he said!

Zane's New "Crib"

So we dismantled the crib and moved the big boy beds into Zane's room today.

The two older boys have been sleeping in the same bed for years. Now there are three.  

They have been begging for this for months.  I finally mustered the strength.

I was planning a glass of wine and a good cry, but as I closed the door, I heard Colt say "Do you like it in here Zane?"  And a small voice whispered "Yes."  I think I will be okay.
