Neewollah!

Scott's dad lives in a small town in Kansas where they have a halloween festival every year called Neewollah (halloween spelled backwards). One of the events every year is a kiddie parade where hundreds of little kids get dressed up and march down main street in a "parade". We wanted to go down this year and have Cole participate, and since he is so little, we knew that we would have to walk with him. Since we were gonna be there anyway, we figured that we might as well dress up with him, lol. The costumes and the "Mystery Machine" all turned out really well, and we all had a great time!

New Funny

So Cole has this new thing that he does that just cracks us up. If he is playing or working with something and it doesn't do what he wants, he likes to tell it "NO!" So if he is trying to get on the couch to read a book and the book slides off while he is climbing up, he points at the book and says "no book!". My favorite is when he is trying to stand his plastic animals up and they fall over (pretty common given their tiny legs) and he starts yelling "no ostrich, no cow!". Hmmmmmm....I wonder where he gets this?

Zoo Fun!

Last weekend we took a little trip to the zoo with Cole. We couldn't have asked for better weather, and we had a great time seeing all the animals!

Cheese!

At Cole's school during the Summer they have outdoor water play a couple of times a week, so each child is required to bring water shoes. Since it is the end of the Summer, we brought home all of his stuff the other night and he decided that he wanted to wear his "wagger shoes" around the house (that is water shoes to you and me, lol). That was funny enough, but then he started wearing his bib around his neck as if it were a cape. I thought that it was so cute so I went to get the camera and as soon as he saw it, he started yelling "cheese! cheese!" without any prompting. I wonder if I take too many pictures, hmmm.....

Animal day at Deanna Rose

Cole is VERY into animals right now, so last Saturday we took him to Deanna Rose in Overland Park. He had such good time running from place to place and kept asking for "more animals". I think that his favorite places would have to be the chicken coop (we were confused too, lol) and the dairy barn. He loved milking the cow and saying "Hi Pippi!", which was the very large dairy cow that was sleeping in the barn. The most exciting part of the day was when we got to hear the rooster crowing and Cole did his best imitation, "cock-cock-coo!!!" It is pretty close to the real thing, and cracks us up every time.

Slide...

Last Sunday we were bored just hanging around the house, so we decided to take Cole to a local park. He had a great time running around and playing on all of the slides. It looked like so much fun that Scott decided to join him!
