Fabulous Friday

We had a busy Friday ~ starting with a doctor appointment for Greg (more on that in another post), then back to work for Tara, ice cream day for Reagan and Cooper, and finally dinner out as a family.

Some people want their name in lights, Reagan wants hers in pancakes! Waiting in line for the ice cream man

Have money, will eat ice cream Trying to pay Ms Vicki for the ice cream

No, Ms Vicki made Reagan pay the ice cream man herself

Reagan chose a Spider man treat ~ she'd been looking forward to this all week

Yummy!

Reagan wanted to wear this particular dress because it had "spiderwebs" on it

Worth the wait

Daddy trying to get a bite of Reagan's ice cream

So good!

Cooper enjoyed his bomb pop ice cream too!

Big bite!

They both came home sticky and stained from their Popsicles, but they loved them. Thanks to the teachers at the school who not only take care of my 2, but dozens of other messy eaters just like them! We truly appreciate you allowing our kids to have a fun disruption to their day.

After school on the couch watching cartoons...together...wtihout fighting

We headed to Cracker Barrel for a family dinner. This is a rare treat because Greg usually doesn't get home until 6:30 or 7pm every night.

Cooper cheesing for the camera ~ he flirted with everyone at the restaurant

Reagan enjoying her cornbread

No trip to Cracker Barrel is complete unless you rock in the rocking chairs

Cooper likes to rock too

Ice Cream Friday

Today, the Ice Cream Man and His Van came back to the school for a nice little summer treat for the kids. As was the case last time, all the kids at the school were excited to see him and enjoyed their ice cream treat very much.

They sang "A Tootie-Ta"

Ice Cream Party

Today was an ice cream party for the kids at school. Since the kids couldn't go to the ice cream store, the ice cream man came to them!

I found Cooper painting on the playground (he looks like he was playing Army)

Cooper went to pick out his own ice cream

Ms Gomery tried to help Cooper be neat

Chomp!

Cooper ate his ice cream in Reagan's classroom (you may notice Reagan now has a fudgesicle ~ she decided she wanted my ice cream too. We didn't trade, she had BOTH!)

What a mess!

Almost gone

Washing his hands
