Personality differences

We have Ammon on Tues. and Weds. Ammon thinks it is kind of funny to make people think he is mad at them and then say some little joke about it to lighten the mood. Cole hates this! It makes him uncomfortable but he knows that it is Ammon joking so he really does try to be a sport about it. He will kind of play it off but you can tell by his posture he is really uncomfortable with it. Sage, it doesn't even phase her. Ammon will give her a menacing look and say something to her and she just asks him why he is sad. When he does this to Cole she will say, "AMMON! BE NICE TO COLE!!!" It is so funny. Cole tries to make as little contact with Ammon as possible. Sage begs to go see him. Cole really never annoys Ammon. Ammon thinks he is funny and cute. He loves Sage too but she knows how to push all his buttons. He gets so aggravated with her. I think it is so funny. I think it is good to help him with patience and it is a dose of his own medicine.

What we did today

We have millions of toys. We have cars, trains, farms, farm animals, jungle animals, dinosaurs, legos, and tons more stuffed in bags in the garage. I bring them out every so often and trade out. Today I decide to help my kids make a whole town. We made a zoo, a dinosaur museum, a farm, a train station, an airport, truck stop, race track and forest area. It was kind of fun. We get it all made and what does Cole do? Grab his gun and shoot the deer in our wooded area. He has to show me how he "smokes deer". Sage grabbed the gorilla in out of the zoo and tells me "don't do that to my baby!" I thought it would be fun to get his toy people and walk around looking at the things to do in the town we made. Cole didn't think that Skelator should be walking around the town and grabbed The Rock to beat up skelator. Then Sage grabbed woody and said that he is the daddy to her baby. So I wanted the farmer to fix the fense but Cole decided that he too needed to smoke the deer. I guess it wasn't exactly what I had in mind but they had fun. That was the whole point right.

GRRRR

Cole and Sage were invited to a party a few weeks ago. It was really fun and was animal themed. Julie, the hostess with the mostess, gave all the kids a mask to take home. Cole got a tiger and Sage got a rabbit. It was so cute. My kids loved them and wore them all day long...and all night long. I went into Cole's bedroom at about 11:00 that night to make sure he was tucked in for the night and this is what I saw:
