Splotchy

Cooper woke up this morning with a rash covering most of his body.  After a trip to the doctor's office, Cooper was on the road to recovery.  The doctor said that his rash was an allergic reaction to something, but since we hadn't changed laundry detergent or he hadn't eaten something strange, it's really hard to determine what it is.  Hopefully, it will clear up within a day or so.

Cooper was pitiful ~ he was crying and asked if he was going to look this way forever.

 Since it was lunch time when he got back to school, I stayed and ate with him.

Sunday Fun

We ate lunch at Steak N Shake after church...none of us had ever eaten there before.  

So cute in his paper hat

 Cooper was the photographer for the day.  He took this photo of the two of us.

 and I found a dozen or so selfies on my phone!

School Lunch

Cooper has been asking me for a few weeks to eat lunch with him.  Today, the stars aligned and I was able to make his wish come true.  I brought him a corn dog from Sonic (along with an Oreo Blast) ~ I was the "best mom ever"!

me and my boy

he devoured the corn dog

the Blast didn't last long either!

Still Celebrating

Cooper received a free hamburger coupon from Red Robin for his birthday ~ so we had another birthday celebration there today!

getting embarrassed!

Small Group Thanksgiving Lunch

We had our Bible study small group over for Thanksgiving lunch this afternoon.  

the house needed to be cleaned before everyone arrived, thankfully I had a helper!

 I didn't take any pictures of the whole group today, and only took a few of the kids.  We had 10 adults and 4 kids over today

 Annabelle & Reagan

 Maggie & Cooper

 After lunch, the girls went outside to play...not really sure where Cooper was! 

We had such an enjoyable afternoon of talking, laughing and eating!

March Birthday Celebration

We drove down after church to mamaw & papaw's house to celebrate the March birthdays of Megan, Keira & Morgan.  We had a delicious lunch, the kids played outside and then we had cake & pie!!!

Cooper loved pushing Joshua on the swing
