A Visit With Santa - Nobody Was Eaten

Cole has been telling us for two years that he thought Santa would eat him. This year, they actually did sit on Santa's lap this year and were somehow able to get out the words "Optimus Prime" and "Bumblebee" (the transformer, not the Bee movie - for any of you that don't know our boys). Overall Cole thought it was a successful visit.

Cole Kills the Snowman

Well the magic of the snowfall is gone. The other morning Cole looked out the window and saw that his snowman was melting and the eyes and buttons were falling off. He acted very sad and said that Frosty was his friend. I explained that next time it snowed he could make a new snowman. He asked to go out and see him. I thought it was cute and that he was going to go out and say goodbye or something sweet like that. Well I looked out the window a few minutes later and saw Cole stabbing a garden shovel into Frosty and pulling pieces of him off. He broke the arms off and just kept jabbing his shovel into the snowman. When he came in I asked him what he was doing and he answered (and yes, this is a direct quote) "I severed him so he could have bleeds". Of course, why didn't I realize that?

Winter Wonderland

The boys were so excited to wake up to snow today! I don't think Josh knew what it even was. He stood here by our kitchen window for about ten minutes and didn't even move. He kept saying "Look at that"Cole insisted that everyone hold hands and dance around the snowman like they do in Frosty
No snow day is complete without hot chocolate (Josh's entire cup was spilled about a half second after this picture was taken)
What a fun day!
