At Grandpas House

This morning when Coop woke up he immediately started looking for Grandpa.
What is this magical force that occurs after a mans children have had children.
I am positive there is a power bestowed...........

Here we are at Nicks Folks..Enjoying Family....and Fun.
We very rarely get to see family, but this has been especially nice because Coop has had a blast with his cousins!!

And of course Grandpas Pool Table!!

He's an ACE!!

For your looking Enjoyment

Here is some sweet eye candy to get you through the weekend!!!!

Coopie Helping Daddy eat Breakfast!!

Kung fu Panda Face Take 2

Here is yet more evidence of my son's obsession with Kung Fu Panda.
We have never had such a peaceful Sunday. We put the "panda " on in our room and heard not a peep from our wee one for the majority of the day. Although he would come out and tell us to "Fix" if he "Accidentally" turned the movie off!

I was however very thankful for this Obsession Yesterday.
I went home early from school and took Coop home with me, but instead of having to entertain, I turned on Panda. He was so good!!
He came and asked me for juice and lunch, but other than that left me alone. And he took a 3 hour nap!!

Sick Day Take 2

I am headed home....
Stomach flu sucks.............
See you tomorrow.................

Birthday

Here are my Birthday Pics.
Nick made the cake and oh so artfully arranged the 27 Candles

We invited our next door neighbors over for cake. They are such a nice little family and so much fun to have next door. They brought me a goodies bag of girly pink things like foot soak, and fingernail polish. It was great

Here are the pics of my most excellent birthday Gift.
Nick went all out and got me this super cool bike trailer.

It holds two Chilluns and I had the great luck today to utilize the extra space for my friend Maggie's son Ian, who came and had a playdate.

I love being able to go bike riding again!
Plus how sweet do they look?

Kung Fu Panda Face

So in my Previous post I mentioned that we have seen Kung Fu Panda A LOT!!
Well here is the evidence...........

He does not move from that spot the entire movie!!!

Sick Day

On Tuesday I took the day off to stay home with this sick little guy.

We watched KUNG FU PANDA for the 100th time.
We ate Quesidillas and we danced to Shrek 2 Idol!

I hate it when he is sick, but it was kinda fun just hangin out.

In Honor of this Momentous Occassion.......

Here is a Daddy- Cooper Performance of

"Way to go, this is Mommy's 101st Post!!"

A Shared Day

For as long as I can remember today has always been "Our Day".

I am one of the lucky few to share a birthday with a beloved relative.
I remember all the Competitions to see who could call who first to sing Happy Birthday.
My beautiful Cousin Erin has been generous through the years in sharing her birthday with me.
Erin is amazing. I wish you could all know her. She is such a wonderful example to me and she always has been.
I could not have picked a better Birthday Buddy!
Happy Birthday ERIN!

Chasing Dust

The suns rays through the window fascinated Coop with the display of light floating through the air......So he chased them.

Daddy Time

It Is So Nice To Have A Husband Who Is As Much In Love
With Our Son As I Am.
I Love Watching Them Play Together

Every Day After School
When We Get To The House Coop Gets Really Angry
If Daddy Doesn't Let Him Drive.
He Insists On Putting The Key In And Out Of The Ignition
And Pushing All The Buttons.

Later In The Evening I Couldn't Find My Men,
So I looked In The Kitchen And
This Is What I Saw.

Trick or Treat

Here are our pictures of the fun night.

Getting Ready.

Heading Out

Helping Daddy answer the door.

Every time the doorbell rang he would freak out and make me pick him up to take him to the door.
Then he would try to take candy for himself.

PUNKIN' CARVING

Have you ever had a perfect evening.
Where you sit across from your child and
watch as they discover something new and amazing.
The Twinkle in their eye.
The grin on their face when they first touch...............

PUMPKIN GUTS

Coop was not really interested in spooning out the pumpkin as he was in holding the spoon.

Jabba The Hut

Who Says Only Little Girls Play Dress UP??

Dear Mr. President.............

I know you are pretty excited right now, but I just have a couple of things to say, because January 20th will be here before you know it.


Please forget all the campaign rhetoric and make choices that will strengthen and not weaken our country, because Our Children, Yours, and Mine will be here long after we are gone.

Thank You.
Coopers Mom.
