Celebrating 100

While celebrating the 100th day of school recently, the kids were asked to write what they would be doing and draw what they would look like at 100.  Here are Cooper's answers...

"I can be in the army"

 He still looks pretty good for 100 years old!

Just A Swingin'

Today was a B.E.A.U-TIFUL day.  We spent the afternoon playing outside ~ swinging on the playset and swinging ball bats.  The Sandidges are ready for spring and summer!

Cooper learned to pump on the swings all by himself

Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of All Ages...

We made our nearly annual trip to see the circus today.  It was so nice to only drive 30 minutes vs the 1.5 hour trip (each way) that we had to drive when we saw the circus here and here; although this was a much smaller circus show.  As usual, the kids had a great time and loved seeing the animals and acrobats!
