Strangers and Bad Guys

Conversations between Cole and me revolve around strangers and bad guys lately. I thought I should write some things down so that I don't forget about them:

This is as we are walking towards a building and a lady was coming down some stairs:
Cole: "Mom! It's a stranger!! Hurry, run!!"

In the car as we are sitting at a stoplight:
Cole: "Mom, some strangers can drive blue cars, or wear seatbelts, or eat hamburgers or have cell phones..." you get the idea.

At breakfast this morning:
Cole: "Mom, bad guys don't eat eggs and toast like we do."
Mom: "Sure they do. They eat the same foods that we do."
Cole: "But we're not bad guys, we're good guys, right?"
Mom: "Yes, we're good guys, but everybody has to eat food to stay alive."
Cole: "Even the bad guys. But if they don't eat their food, then they die and go to heaven."

On another note, I had a dream last night that I went to Best Buy to get a new camera cord and they didn't make the cord that goes to my camera anymore. It must be on my mind. :)

Happy Halloween!!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a local pumpkin patch yesterday and the kids picked out plenty of pumpkins. We set some inside for decorating purposes because our front porch feels a little full. :) I put up Halloween decorations in our home, however sparse they are. I love the little pumpkins, Cole helped me gather quite a few of them to put around the house, but he also loves carrying them everywhere and it looks like he set a couple out on the porch as well. If you can see the paper in our window also, it's a BOO paper. We've been BOO'd a couple times by neighbors bringing treats and then you hang the BOO ghost up. Well, we had one up and then we hung it outside and the wind blew it away. So, we got BOO'd again. You know what that means? You have to make treats for 2 families and BOO them also. However, the kids love doing it, so that means I do too.
