The Camper

Father of 5 boys!

Well, the Doctor says it is official, we are going to have our fifth boy. So this blog officially should be renamed to "The Father of Five Boys"

To be honest I think I took it harder than my wife. I feel bad for her becasue she may never have a littel girl to dress up. All thsoe girl clothes we have been stock piling for years can now be given away.

For those of you still sending me girls clothes, Please stop! My boys look silly in public with them on.

A/C for our house(fort)

From Kimber:
I just asked Carter why they have the fans and the ext cord out and he said, "Because we needed air conditioning for our house(fort). I said, we already have good ac and he said, "mom, we needed really good ac for our house." I thought that was hillarious. What kids put a fan up by their fort for a little ac. You got little builders!!!

That's how the dryer works.....

Some time in October 2007:
I woke to the dryer opening and closing sometime between 4 and 4:30 in the morning. Caden was climbing in and out of the dryer. He had taken off his zipper pajamas and pulled out several bins of clothes from under his bed and gotten dressed in a pair of Levi shorts and a t-shirt.
Caden was 3.

Microwave timing

Some time in October 2007:
I woke up at 3 am to hear the microwave beeping. In a slight daze I ran out to the kitchen to find Carson standing on top of the stove microwaving a plastic container full of freezer jam. The jar was melted and completely ruined. I took him back to bed.

Anatomical Snowman......

I received this text from my wife today........
Caden just drew a bra on a snowman for me. I said he did not need to put that on there and he said he was being a good artist.

Buoys Caden Booo-eee's

My four year old went to preschool today and drew me a pitcure with water colors. By looking at the picture I thought it was some rendition of Picasso's abstract imagination. But Caden was insistant that it was a picture of our family on the lake, with the boat, and me waterskiing. He kept saying "look dad your skiing around the lake 'boobies'. As he pointed out all the things in hs picture he kept talking about the lake 'boobies'.
As a side note: We always let the boys steer the boat out of the no wake zone and make a big deal out of trying to hit the 'buoys' with the bow of the boat. They rarely come even close.
After a few puzzled looks at my wife I finally figured out what he was meaning. I tried to help him say it correctly Boo-eee's Caden, Boobies dad, no Boooooo eeeee's Caden. Boodies Dad. No Boooooooo-eeeeeeeee's, Caden. Oh buoys Dad. Ya ,you got.
