Kota's New Toys

I was reading in my book last night that if I provide Kota with plenty of toys in his yard then he will be took occupied to dig or bark. So today we headed to Petco and picked up the biggest and most durable toys they sold. I only gave him two of them but he thought they were the coolest things he's ever seen!
This giant ball on a rope is so awesome! It's a solid ball and he can throw it around all over the place without tearing it up!
This is a a real tire that I thought was the coolest most durable thing in the store, and then Kota puts his jaw around it and bends it without hardly any effort. He's much stonger then we give him credit for.
Joli had a very rough day. I think the past two weeks to a month have been extremely exhausting for her and all the sudden it's starting to catch up to her. Here she is begging for attention since Kota was getting it all.
I thought this picture was so sweet. After running all over the yard with giant ball, he had to lay down and chew on his tire.
Once we finally finished all the errands we had to run, we went down to Seaport Village to finally relax. Joli had a different idea. Here she is at a fairyl calm moment.
Then she chased the ducks into the pond because, well, that's what crazy two-year-olds do.
We found this really cool store for "The Urban Girl" and Joli found these dog toys that she thought were the coolest things. She just thought they were drinks and that she would share.
Joli made sure that Cole had a nice drink too.
Now this is relaxing. A sucker and a beer.
Once the sucker was gone Joli wanted to have another one, and when I told her she only got one she began running around the store and getting into things, which lead to her getting into trouble, which soon lead into a large massive tantrum. So we left Jess and Cole to shop some more and I carried Joli out to the car to get the stroller. By the time we got there she was hysterical so I buckled her in her carseat and shut the door. Here she is still screaming after more than 30 MINUTES!!!
Finally she calmed down enough to agree to get into the stoller so we continue our outing with Auntie Jess. We only ended up hitting a few more stores before the migraine that started around the same time as the tantrum really set in. So we went into one last store for Joli to play for a few minutes before we headed back. One of Joli's favorite things is to tell everyone Happy Birthday whethere it's their birthday or not. So this wooden birthday cake set was so awesome! She sang Happy Birthday to herself and I and then we got to blow out a candle.
Tomorrow we're going to TRY to sleep-in!

i think its great that you're trying to train Kota. I think once he gets used to being around people he wont be as obnoxious haha. Im not sure if that spelling is correct?

Buffy is old. She only gets excited when there's food now lol
