oh pantless wonder

i forgot the load of jeans in the dryer last night- or rather, i knew they were down there, i just didn't feel like bringing a big load up from the basement and sending myself into another bout of braxton-hicks. so when cole got up this morning, he had no pants!

i love those chubby little legs poking out from under his over-sized sweatshirt!

by the way, to elissa, logan and coy- thanks again for the sweatshirt and stuff!!

i'm not about to let my poor kid run around with no pants all day- what kind of mommy would i be?? those little legs sure were cute, though...

this is a photo i forgot to post earlier (like, last week)... kelvin got some free gift or something from his north american hunting club thingy, and the box was perfect for a tot-sized truck! he spent quite a bit of time on it, cutting it out, taping it up and drawing on it. of course, it's a dodge ram... what else? cole LOVED it, and i mean L-O-V-E-D it! still does, actually- he pushes it around with toys inside. anyway, kelvin pushed cole around in the "truck" until his back and knees got sore, and when he stopped, the tears began! oh boy- you'd have thought it was the end of the world... the poor child was heartbroken! needless to say, once the "truck" is done in beyond salvaging, we'll have to sneak it out to the trash or there will be a massive meltdown.

i don't know what anyone else thinks, but the snow here is beautiful! cole's been occupied at the window, watching the neighbor plow their driveway with his fourwheeler... he's been standing there as still as can be, except for his little noggin that keeps turning to follow the fourwheeler! i'm just excited that we have a winter wonderland started! not so big on the actual cold, but the snow is pretty- it's kind of hard to readjust to the chilly weather after spending half of last winter in arizona. anyway- i've been on the lookout for potential jobs that i can do and still stay at home with the kids; there are SO many scams out there, but last night i responded to a posting on craigslist for an afterhours scheduler, and today, an actual person called me! they have a few people who've expressed interest, and so she's going to give me a call back on friday. it's not too hard of a job- pretty much what it sounds like. i know that there would be some middle-of-the-night calls, but hey- if i can make a legitimate income and stay at home with the kids, then that's a small price to pay. i'm pretty sure i just jinxed myself by saying something, but i hope that i get the job... then again, if it's meant to be, it will be. it's so hard to stay patient when things get tough! i've been reading a little in the book of job and that's given me a little better perspective on what's really important, and that if i keep my priorities in order then God will take care of the rest.
