Cooper the Arteeest

Cooper is starting to get in on the art production around here. He's not nearly as dedicated as his sister (thank goodness - the amount of artwork that girl creates in one day is staggering!!) but we love seeing his creations! He is also getting very good at recognizing his letters and can even draw an H. Here is his fish that I finally got around to photographing.

Take us with you Aunt Monica!!!

Daddy - Daughter Day

For Daddy - Daughter Day Tim and Grace went to a wedding. They're so cute all dressed up!

Pizza Parties with Aunt Monica!

Monica came home the week before Thanksgiving. It was a hard lesson for my Gracie to learn to share Aunt Monica with baby Nicholas! But we made it through and had great time with her here. Grace did cry herself to sleep the night that she left, saying, "I miss Monica. She wasn't here as much as she usually is." We and the Coopers may have to have a big sleepover next time she is home in order for us all to get as much time with her as possible!

While she was here she taught us all how to throw pizza dough! Lots of fun! And Grace got to take Aunt Monica to school for sharing time. She was so proud!

Prize winning pumkin - Again!

The kids decorated pumpkins again this year at the Y and it was GRACE who won her age group this year! (Cooper won last year) I didn't even get a chance to vote this time, either! Unfortunately, she pulled off all of the pom poms before I could get her picture, but it was pretty!!

Sleepers

It is rare that I am the first one up EVER. But, on the day of my "Girls Day Out Shopping Extravaganza" I was. Cooper frequently crawls into bed with us sometime after 6 AM. We love how snugly he is at this time of day, and he's just the cutest thing to wake up to! Usually not long after that, though he announces "Let's go eat breakfast." and pushes, pulls, and whines until we get up. Not so cute at that point. :)
