Cole's Rampage

So I am so mad I don't have my camera today to capture the chaos, but I will let your imagination run wild - I think you will get better images that way!

Cole is a DISASTER child. He doesn't find clean room aesthetically pleasing. Instead he prefers the room to have toys, papers, and crumbs everywhere. Let's take today for example - I have been at the office for an hour and a half, and here is what he has done:

* He took all the fake moss out of the basket that holds the fake tree in my dad's office. For any of you with experience with this fake moss, it makes a mess everywhere!

* He emptied a box my dad had on the floor (why he put this box on the floor is beyond me - doesn't he know that with Cole around everything needs to be two feet or higher off the ground??). The box had a ton of appliance manuals in it - notice I said HAD. They are now scattered on the floor and if I clean them up he goes right over to the box and clears it out again.

* He has turned off my dad's computer. Twice.

* He has scattered the blocks everywhere. In both offices. Repeatedly.

* Somehow he found a blue crayon and it melted in his mouth and is now all over his face, including his neck and ears. I'm considering not going to buy face paint for Halloween. Apparently melted crayon does the trick just right.

*He has emptied the two recycle bins about every five minutes.

How am I supposed to get any work done around here?? And yet he is so cute when he does these things, I can't even be mad. *sigh*

After having a kid like Rix who likes order, it's about time you get a child who is the polar opposite! Jack and Cole would be the office's worst nightmare together. Yeah, he is too cute to get mad at though...

This is exactly how I feel about Kade. He is always always always in trouble. He's underfoot and constantly getting into things. This weekend with the two of them together, plus our other little ones should be very...entertaining!!! We'll be waiting for you in Heber on Thursday!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!!!! (In case you can't recognize me, I'll be the one with the gigantic belly!!)

Crayon melts in mouths? I didn't know this. And I'd like to see Jack and Cole in the office together, how fun would that be?! At least Dad hasn't left out any large checks lately, he's sort of learned his lesson.

What a little trouble maker. I can't wait until you guys come so I can see him in action. Congrats to your dad. That is quite an acomplishment. See you guys soon.
