A great big enormous squash squished his hat real flat
February 8, 2007
There is just something about a toddler wearing a hat, that makes me want to squish him. And possibly dunk him in my hot cocoa and eat him…
I recently discovered that this holds true for preteens…
Now if I could just get him to wear the hat at all times.

Yummy. I think kids in winter hats are irresistable too.
February 8th, 2007 at 8:00 pmJust tell him that wearing that hat will save his life someday. (You will think he’s too cute to shoot!)
February 8th, 2007 at 8:07 pmadorable boys! Your preteen could not possibly look anymore like Rob!
February 8th, 2007 at 8:20 pmYou have such gorgeous children. I know for myself with my boys, I find that I look at them and say;”Did YOU really come from ME? You’re just too beautiful.” Do you ever experience that? : )
February 8th, 2007 at 8:35 pmI laughed when I read the title of this post. My son received his first veggie tales sing-along DVD for Christmas and we have all been singing about Larry’s tall silk hat for weeks. Isn’t it funny that songs sung by vegetables can suddenly become apt descriptions of our everyday experiences?
February 8th, 2007 at 8:55 pmYou got some good looking boys.

February 8th, 2007 at 10:10 pmWith a hat that “cool”, he might never take it off.
February 8th, 2007 at 10:29 pmThey are some seriously gorgeous kids!
February 8th, 2007 at 11:35 pmSo that’s the secret…maybe I’ll can talk my big monkeys into wearing theirs…
Adorable kiddos, though
February 8th, 2007 at 11:54 pmOops, bad grammar…need to go to bed…
February 8th, 2007 at 11:55 pmlove that song!
February 9th, 2007 at 12:00 amdid you know there’s an entire Flickr group devoted to kids in hats…

February 9th, 2007 at 12:29 amOf course at my house, the neon orange hat is worn as soon as it gets below 50°F but the oldest will wear shorts unless we threaten bodily harm.
February 9th, 2007 at 12:38 amThe babies in hats are soooo true! My sister and I were just telling each other how cute each of our babies were in their hats…hehehe
February 9th, 2007 at 2:01 amNow…I must put one on my teens to see if I feel the same way…kind of doubting it…lol.
Miles is adorable and your oldest is … handsome! Definitely not a little kid anymore.
February 9th, 2007 at 2:48 amI find that hats on children are so adorable . . while they just make me look like a complete doofus. Why is that? (Hey - who said because I AM a doofus?)
February 9th, 2007 at 8:23 amWhat cuties! Whenever they’re being snots, just plop a hat on ‘em.
February 9th, 2007 at 9:23 amThey are both so totally dunkable…
February 9th, 2007 at 9:33 amEeeeeeeeee! Must. Eat. Baby.
Omigoodness, Chris: Thank you so much for sharing your family with us. They’re beautiful people!
February 9th, 2007 at 9:46 amStaples! That would keep the hat on. Or i suppose you could try sticky tape if they whinge too much about the staples.
February 9th, 2007 at 10:05 amVeggieTales, VeggieTales!
I wish my daughter were more addicted to TV so we could actually sit and watch an entire Veggie show.
She has recently begun to accept the existence of hats, thus fulfilling another wish of mine. So I have hope.
February 9th, 2007 at 10:06 amI need to know where you got that hat for your pre-teen! My boys want those and we can’t find them. Do tell! Please?
February 9th, 2007 at 10:35 amIt seems that teens would often rather be cool than comfortable.
February 9th, 2007 at 10:46 amOh the DIMPLES!!! I’m so jealous!
February 9th, 2007 at 11:03 amIt looks really, really cold there!! Very cute boys and nice hats.
February 9th, 2007 at 11:27 amWhat handsome boys. You are sure in a lot of trouble!
February 9th, 2007 at 1:15 pmwaaay too cute. Both of ‘em.
February 9th, 2007 at 2:55 pmYep, those faces are pretty darn cute.
February 9th, 2007 at 3:01 pmA to Z adorable. You’ve got it.
February 9th, 2007 at 3:02 pmLOL. Do you think if I buy a hat for Stephen he will seem irresistably cute and adorable again, like the sweet little boy he once was??
February 9th, 2007 at 3:24 pmvery cute. yes - hats make them extra huggable, don’t they?
and your older one looks like he just might know it.
there’s enough mischief in that face…
February 9th, 2007 at 3:25 pmThey both look so gorgeous. When your preteen (or toddler, I guess) is making you crazy, you should just run and get the hat, quick!
February 9th, 2007 at 3:26 pmI realize that your children are beautiful (or handsome, as the case may be for these two) so I don’t mean to insult you by asking, and I certainly hope I don’t …. but did you tweak these photos in Photoshop or something? Because the lighting is fabulous and they are both GLOWING and I want to know if the reason my pictures aren’t as good is because my own photo-editing skills are sub-par, or if my children just aren’t as pretty.
February 9th, 2007 at 8:13 pmLyle was my very first Veggie Tales movie, and being the English major type that I am, is still my favorite many, many movies later (Omelet? OMG. Hysterical)
Gorgeous kids. Great hats.
February 9th, 2007 at 9:28 pmPre-teen, eh? When he’s a teen, if the girls find out how cute he looks in a hat, and he finds out how cute the girls think he looks in a hat, he’ll wear one. And then, he will fear hat hair, and not want to take it off. This is how eccentric teen boys are born.
Are you going to homeschool all through high school? I chickened out before that time but I do read other blogs of braver moms and ponder the options for the baby of the bunch.
February 9th, 2007 at 11:35 pmbut how do you get them to keep their mittens on!
February 9th, 2007 at 11:42 pmI think your toddler’s brown eyes make him totally squishable! Gorgeous! I’m a sucker for some brown eyes. (my boys are all blue/green, including my dh)
February 11th, 2007 at 12:55 amMy eldest (just turned 14) inherited the fedora Dad got for Christmas that was a size too small. It’s amazing how much coolness a teenager can get out of a hat.
