Saturday Morning

Most children on Saturday morning enjoy watching their favorite cartoons. As I type Cullen is watching a documentary on the origin of dinosaurs. He also asked that we tape it so he could watch it again. It is a hour and half long, and he is sitting still on the couch with his dinosaurs. Every now and again he calls "Mama" just to see if I am still in the house. I am not sure what to think of a two year old that is interested in a documentary on dinosaurs. Yes, he likes dinosaurs and movies about them, but this is talking, bones, fossils, etc. Maybe, he will be a paleontologist or this could be a phase. He is only two...

We Call Them...

"Cullen, look at the white bird in the water," says mom.

"Yes mom, we call them ducks."

Cute

A lawnmower is very loud outside. Cullen and Aggie are watching Sharktale. I hear Aggie growl then bark and Cullen says, "Aggie, don't you worry. It is just a lawnmower getting the grass. We are safe. Lawnmowers aren't scarey. You're O.K. girl. Shhh, watch Sharktale."

Strange Neighbor...Moves

Yes, it is official. Strange neighbor has moved. Brent helped him get his dog pen over the gate. It was the last to go.
I guess we won't be finding random articles of clothing in the lawn on Saturday and Sunday mornings anymore. I'm not sure what was going on, but it didn't have a lot to do with clothes being on. I can also go jogging and get dressed without the fear of being watched. Cullen can play in the yard without being watched. It is a good day!

Hide-N-Seek

Let me set the scene for you. Brent and Cullen are hiding from me, Aggie, and Nomar. Yes, our dogs play hide-n-seek. Hiding is not there strong point in this game, so most of the time they seek.
Back to the story. After, I find them then I hide from the crew and so on. We are playing in the house and there are not a lot of places to hide. This is O.K. with Cullen because he likes to hide in the same spot over and over. Well, I hide in the hall closet at one point, and Cullen liked that spot, so when the game was over he decided to hide there while we stood in the hall. The last time Cullen went in the closet Brent went into the dark bathroom beside the closet, and I disappeared into the foyer. Of course, when Cullen came out and noone was there he took off. As he heads into the foyer Brent jumps out of the bathroom and yells, "Booo." Cullen stops dead in his tracks, turns and says, "I need to change my pull up."

Sorry

An apology goes out to the people who do read about our adventurous, little life. I have been a slacker.

Cullen is doing great. He is getting big and more active. Believe it or not...
Brent is still professing as a professor and is doing a terrific job. I am chasing children around school. HA!

We went to rent movies last weekend, and we let Cullen pick out his first one. It took him a few minutes to decide, but it was not that bad. We are still in possession of the video, and we have watched it everyday at least once.

He had this to say about returning the DVD:
Brent: "Cullen, you know we have to take the dinosaur movie back to the store. It is only a rental. we did not buy it."
Cullen: "No dad, it is not a dental. We have it."

Another first for Cullen this weekend was his trip to the movie theater. We had been talking about but had been waiting. Well, this weekend we went to see Barnyard. Cullen loved it. He was so good during the entire movie. He sat in his own seat, ate candy, and laughed. He is ready to go see another movie on the big screen. He asks all the time to go to the movies. It was a cute movie.
