A week or so ago I asked Cooper what his favorite animal was.
"You know what Mom, my favorite animal is a Ti-liger. They's real Mom, for reals"
For reals guys, he saw them on dirty jobs. A Ti-liger is a lion and a tiger mixed (aka a Liger) that then mixes back with a tiger. Equaling a TI- Liger. Only the coolest animal a 5 year old boy could ever dream of. Ask him, he'll tell you all about it.
Do you want to know why they are his favorite?
Something about them killing everything... I can't remember exactly what he said but I remember thinking "that would never be the reason a girl would like something"
I'm remembering this right this minute because mere seconds ago I overheard Kami say
"Guys, lets play puppies."
To which Cooper promptly replied "Okay, but I'm going to be a ti-liger."
Seriously, it's the stuff boy's dreams are made of.

Earlier this week we constructed our gingerbread house. The children made a joint decision not to eat any candy off of it until after Santa came (so he could see it, naturally) Before you go and faint from the shock of my children NOT eating the candy off the gingerbread house for x amount of days, please realize that that x stood for 3 days.
Well, Christmas is over and Santa has obviously seen the house already. Which means today was the perfect day for me to field the following question:
"Mom, is it okay if I rip the gingerbread house apart?"
"Um... no Cooper."
"But Mom, I really want to rip it apart so I can see what's inside of it."
...two minutes later...
"Are you sure I can't destroy it? It would be really cool."

Have to agree, boys think completely different than girls! But that makes being a mom so fun!
