On Saturday we went into the city to get Parker a new house coat. Smokey had eaten the previous one. I had ordered Parker a house coat from Sears, but when it arrived it was apparent pretty quickly that the sizes online are not the same as sizes in real life. That house coat was immediately passed on to Blake. We figured it would be better to make the trip in and actually have him try on a house coat than trying to re-order a different size.
While Parker tried on house coats, Logan kept us entertained with stories of the new house coat he was getting. His house coat was a dinosaur and it would have teeth! (But it would not bite him!) His house coat would stomp around the room and scare Sammi. His house coat was wonderful and so much better than any house coat his brothers would EVER have! His housecoat was news to us, as we had not planned on buying him one.
Logan has regaled us with tales his miraculous dinosaur adventures for three days, so I am sure you can imagine his excitement when, after school today, we went to the Sears drop off to pick up a package for him.
I took these pictures just minutes ago. From the moment he opened his package, he has not taken it off. Getting him to understand he cannot wear it to school tomorrow should be fun. NOT.
Sorry to disappoint y’all, but this DOES qualify for excitement in my life, and I rather like it that way. There is nothing sweeter than a child’s squeal of glee!

You could have had my life yesterday….. dog poops in hallway, son steps in it and tracks it all over the house, I end up steam cleaning the carpet all evening. Then other dog pukes in 5 different places and I end up cleaning that up for the rest of the evening. I’ll trade ya!

@Dana – Dear ovary. I am so sorry. I meant no harm. Click here<, this will fix you right up!
@Peggy - I know! He only looks that way when sleeping though!
@Twisted Cinderella - he obviously takes after me, you know that right?
@phinz - I like to stack and store mom points for use when I "accidentally" fart in their face, or when I put a real worm in their spaghetti or when I explain that there is no moon becuase the Cow was jumping but was too fat and knocked it over...
