I Bought my Son a Hoe----and He Grew Some Grass!

Gosh! I crack myself up! I know most of you saw my Facebook status, but let's start with the grass. It was gardening week at school and Preston and his classmates all planted grass seed in little pieces of egg cartons and viola! Grass! Now as Mel and I stated, if at sixteen he comes to me and tell me about some grass he is growing in his closet, well then I doubt I will make it a Kodak moment.
This weekend was gorgeous! Saturday morning we went to get Preston's haircut and the bangs were cut too short! Remember Katie when you got so mad at Cole's stylist? Yeah-Preston has the Dumb and Dumber haircut too! His hair grows like a weed so I am sure by next week it will be in his eyes again! We met up with Jordana and baby Maddie and Jordana's friend Diane and her adorable son Anderson for lunch at the mall. We did not ride the train this time since the line was a good forty minutes and there was no way Preston would have stood and waited!
Poor Maddie looks so bored. Don't worry sweetie-your mommy and I will make sure you heart shopping soon enough! Today we took a long walk and Preston played with the neighborhood kiddos outside again! We also went to Lowe's to start getting ready for gardening and I bought Preston a garden hoe. He is so excited to plant with PaPa next weekend!

Preston's shirt has Snoopy on it and it says 'Call Me.' I told him to add "ladies" to the end. When asked later what his shirt said, he smiled and said, "Call Me Girls." He's learning.

Well this is also a huge week because tomorrow starts the baseball season! And I just won my brother's March Madness pool! Whoo hoo! Have a great week!

LOL! Love the cute grass patch Preston grew! How cute! Haha.. I'm trying to get Sonya into the shopping thing! The older girls are all about it, so hopefully pretty soon Sonya will get the idea! Awww! Love the "Call me girls" Who could resist!

Look at him with his little patch of grass! That is so cute! I am so jealous of your sunshine in that last pic...looks beautiful. I'm sure Preston will have no trouble getting the ladies to call him - look out, Mommy!

Kim!
Isn't it nice Spring is finally here?! Love Preston and his grass, he looks so proud :0) The lady cut Caden's bangs too short last time also, rrr! But you are right ~ it grows back so quickly! Your buddy definately has a sense of humor - we need video of him telling the girls to call him!
Have a good week!

Ohhhh - as usual Preston is so cute! He looks so proud of himself holding the grass up...perhaps he can send some of his grass growing skills over here and get ours to turn green again! Hugs to you both...

Glad to see you guys have delightful weather and can plant - not the snow we're dealing with here in the Midwest! Take lots more pictures of course! How is his hearing doing, by the way??

Cute, cute boy that Preston is! I love his little grin. I'm glad you're teaching him to be a smooth talker however, you know he'll pull some of that over on you as well?

Was it a lady with long purple nails!? Hehe. I still think Pres looks adorable and it will grow in no time. Cole is already in need of another cut, but I will be avoiding the scene of the crime. Gosh, he is one cute little guy. Can't wait to see him with his hoe...lol!

He looks so proud of his grass patch!! So friggin cute!!!!!! Can you send some of Preston's fast growing hair my way for Ellie? Her hair has grown about the speed of her...snail speed! I'm sure he'll have the girls calling him like crazy in a few years. I wish you would've posted him with his hoe!!! ;)

So what can I say that you haven't heard before (from me)? He's too adorably cute, I can't handle it. His face with his grass is just awesome...I want to send my girls to that school - what a cute thing to do!! As always...you guys seem to have such a great time and take such great pics!

Preston is so adorable with his patch of grass! Crack me up - I hope he doesn't tell you that he has grass growing in his closet when he's 16!
It was so nice to finally have a weekend of nice weather! It looks like you guys had a great weekend! Simon loves Preston's plaid shirt! :)
Love it - "Call Me Girls!" He is just too cute!!
