Funny Collinism

So...

A certain little monkey-boy was jumping around on my couch, naked no less, yelling, "I've got jungle feeba! I've got jungle feeba!"

Where the hell did he come up with that?

It does make Matt & I laugh hysterically when he does it. Does that make us bad parents? :P

My second attempt at cutting Collin's hair

I am so proud of myself...and Collin! It took me probably a 1/2 hour to cut his hair and he didn't complain, cry, or fidget too much throughout the whole process. He's looks like such a big boy now!

Before (I don't know what this look is here?):

After:

Did I ever tell you that I wanted to be a Cosmetologist for years? Can you tell? :oP

How to get rid of those pesky telemarketers...

Or any other annoying telephone calls!

So, we get pesky bill collector calls on a daily basis. They're not for us (don't ask) and they annoy the hell out of us.

Let me just say, first of all, I totally empathize with the stress that broke people have who get hounded by these people. They DO NOT GIVE UP and they don't care if you've lost your job or are on your deathbed dying of cancer. They're ruthless.

Anywho...we've decided to try a different tactic now. Before we'd say, "No, so-and-so isn't here. Thanks, bye!" But that didn't work.

Enter Collin.

After we discovered that he likes talking on the phone and he knows how to, we just give him the phone when an unknown number comes up.

Today, I laughed so hard I almost cried.

Here is a transcript of the conversation:

Collin: "Heh-woh?"

Telemarketer: "Hello. Is so-and-so there?"

Collin: "Hi!"

Telemarketer: "Is your mommy around?"

Collin: "(Senseless gibberish)...blah, blah, blah." <---- this went on for about two minutes until the phone went dead.

HILARIOUS!

I need to get this on video.

Kids say the darndest things

So I have a couple funny tidbits to share courtesy of Collin...

Last week, I came home to Collin talking to Matt about a "Baby Seester, Baby Seester, Daddy".

Does he know something that I don't? :)

(oh, and before you get too excited, I'm 101% sure that I'm not pregnant but who knows what the future might bring since we're (okay...I really mean I'm) about 75% sure that we (I) want to have another baby?)

And my second funny story, happened tonight. Matt was home with the boys since I was at school. The phone rang and he checked the caller-ID and saw that it was an unknown number. He ran to get something and came back to Collin talking on the phone. His conversation went something like this:

"Heh-woh?"

"Nope."

"Okay. Bye now!"

Where is the video camera when you need it? :) We have no idea who he talked to or if they even knew that it was a 2-year old that was on the phone but they never did call back.

I'm getting some ideas now... *evil laugh*

Terrible Twos

Does anyone want a terrible, I mean, um well-behaved, cherubic, and adorable little 2-year old?

Collin is about ready to drive me insane! He is a non-stop ball of energy and his favorite thing to do now when he doesn't get his way is to throw himself on the floor and scream at the top of his lungs until I want to rip every hair from my head and then bang my head against the wall until I knock myself out and put myself out of this misery.

I've got an example of this behavior; as a matter of fact, he had a mini-melt down as I was typing this because I turned the T.V. off because he was getting too hyper. This is not even close to what we deal with on a daily basis. Enjoy!

Oh, and an example of his boundless energy during trick or treating (notice who he is yelling for (Jessica) - I didn't notice until I about the 5th time I watched this - nice!):

My latest experiment

So, Collin needed a haircut..I mean the kid had a serious mullet as evidenced in this picture:

So I did what any other frugal, mullet-hating mom would do...I found a great instructional video on YouTube and I cut the mullet off myself. Here is the video.

Here are the after pics (I apologize in advance for the quality; our new camera isn't very user friendly so I opted to use the old camera phone):

Back

I'm not crazy about his bangs but I think I did a pretty spiffy job for my first time. I used to cut Adrian's hair a LONG time ago with clippers but you just can't do that with Collin's hair.

I hope this was able to help someone else out; especially since we're all trying to cut back money wherever we can with this darn economy.

Little does Adrian know, but he's my next victim. Bwa, ha, ha!

I have a cheerleader

So I was working out last night on the Wii Fit doing the Super Hula Hoops and I hear a little voice behind me say:

"Good job, momma! Good job!"

I <3 Collin.
