I love having a free afternoon to take the kids out on a photo shoot. I try not to do it a lot, because I don't want them to hate the camera. We found a nice little cotton field just down the street from our house and Thursday night I dressed them up and took them out into the field. They had never seen cotton growing before.

Paige: Where are we going
Me: To this cotton field just up the road
Paige: Cotton?
Me: Yup
Paige: Can we eat it?
Me: It's not cotton CANDY. Well, you could eat it if you want to, but I don't think it would taste very good. . . I mean, don't try to eat it.
Tyler: Paige, you make clothes out of it!
Tyler: Mom, how come we don't wear clothes made out of sheep's fur.
Me: Sheep's fur! HEE HEE!
Me: 'Cause it's itchy, and it's too hot in arizona
Tyler: oh
Paige: is there a playground in the cotton?
Me: um. . . no.
Paige: dang
