Come in the tent!

Ever since we played "in the tent" in our bed on my birthday, Cole has been loving playing "in the tent."  He has actually been asking to go to bed early, so he can get in his bed and play that he's in the tent under his Lightening McQueen blanket! And of course, anyone who happens to be in his bed with him has to come in the tent as well!  He wants Zach to come in the tent, but Zach prefers to crawl out! It makes getting him down for a nap or to sleep at night quite a lengthy process!  He likes to pretend he's driving his tent...not sure where he got that idea from!  He has quite the imagination, my boy!  We usually drive to Sobeys in Tuscany.  He loves grocery shopping!  Actually, I think he just likes Sobeys because he gets a free cookie there!  Anyhoooo, today we decided to make a big tent in the living room.  Cole and Zach thought it was great, but Cole was not so pleased that I was taking pictures of them in it.  He told me today that he didn't want any pictures.  I took them anyway!

In other news... we had a fun, busy weekend.  On Saturday, we took the boys to see Sesame Street Live.  Cole loves Elmo!  He was quite excited about it, and I think it lived up to his expectations.  Although he did find it a little long.  Maybe because he was excited because Daddy had told him we were going to go look for a new "jeep car" (powerwheels jeep) for him after the show.  I thought it was very well done, I was quite impressed with the staging, and it was fun taking the boys to their first show.  Zach really enjoyed it too - he was clapping and dancing along!  I'm quite pleased that both my boys really seem to enjoy music.

As promised, we did go shopping for a new jeep car afterwards.  The boys have a third hand Power Wheels jeep that seems to be on its last legs and no longer runs, and Cole has really been wanting to drive it.  After I think over an hour of deliberating, we ended up with a John Deere pick-up type vehicle.  Cole had great fun trying it out later that evening.  He's not the world's best driver! He got stuck in the trees, almost took out our fence a few times, almost ran me over, ran into his slide... I dread the day he gets his license! :)

Trying out the new jeep.  Zach's not too sure about his brother's driving...

Hmm, actually, I guess this is kind of fun!

Of course, he may have thought twice if he'd seen this before he got in the car with big brother!

My littlest one is becomming quite the little monkey!

He's already figured out how to get up the slide!

Hey, where'd my chauffeur go?

Loves chewing on those fingers!

And yes, he climbed into the sandbox by himself too!
