Wii Love It!

I've casually been looking for a Wii Fit for a couple of months now. I happened upon one Friday and thought it must be fate ~ I should buy it now. Normally, I'm not an impulse buyer, but I was on Friday! Since I don't have time to go to the gym, I'm bringing the gym into my house! Reagan has had a fun time with it too! Hopefully, this will get me in shape for our upcoming beach trip in May!!

Dinner with Cooper

This is what dinner time is like at our house...
Cooper finds a few new toys to entertain himself
Who knew shaking up Coke bottles could be so much fun?
If only he could get this bottle open
If he can't have a Coke, how about a Sprite?
This is why dinner takes so long ~ a few words between every bite

But he's just so cute!
And now a few words while eating his fruit
His appetite is back. Tonight he ate 3/4 of a grilled cheese sandwich, 2 adult sized helpings of fruit salad, and 2 Nilla wafers.

Snow Day

School was closed again today ~ this time for snow. We had less than an inch of snow on the ground, but any excuse to close school and stay home and play, right? When Reagan saw the snow this morning, she asked, "is it Christmas again?". When I told her no, it's just snow, she asked, "is it a holiday?". Well, kind of ~ they are out of school!

Had to get a picture before the snow was disturbed too much
She couldn't wait to go outside
Doesn't that look like fun?
When can we go outside?
Getting their 1st look at the snow
Cooper's not to sure about all this stuff.
Try not to notice the pink gloves on him that he had to borrow from Reagan
Shoveling the snow off her slide
Can I help?
Are you freezing out here like I am?
Helping Reagan clean off the slide
Whoopsie!!
She had a great time playing in the snow
Her main goal was to fill up her bucket with snow My snow bunny
Boots are in ~ feet are warm again!
30 minutes of dressing in layers of shirts, pants, socks, boots, hats and gloves...
20 minutes of play in the snow!!

No School Today

Reagan and Cooper were out of school today for the MLK holiday. This is how we spent most of our day.

...Having a party. (Reagan is practicing for her own birthday party in 3 months!)
... Eating raisins while riding on the dump truck.
...Watching TV with the baby, back pack and purse
...Having deep conversations over technical issues with the computer
...Being a princess (she got a new crown this weekend ~ don't know if you can tell by the picture, but it's purple)
...Being cute!
...Loading the dump truck to make a mess in another part of the house

The Purse

Ever wonder what's in the little purse that Reagan carries everywhere with her?
A pair of sunglasses, 2 wallets, a star, a game, a copy of mom's college diploma, 3 bracelets, 2 necklaces, 2 rings, 3 ponytail holders, a watch, 2 make up sponges, an ink pen, 3 tubes of lipstick, a color crayon wheel, an Easter egg, a cookie, a spoon, and a light up pumpkin
What more could a girl need?

So Cute Sunday

Just a couple of pictures from our day on Sunday.

Cooper looking dapper in his sweater he got from mamaw and papaw
Reagan's all ready to go to Jesus' house
A rock star joined us for lunch
For some reason, he loves the broom. I think we're going to have to invest in a child size one!

Dad's Dates

Greg had a big day on Saturday - 2 dates in one day!

He and Reagan went out for pancakes. He hopes to have a weekly daddy/daughter date.
That evening, Greg and I had a date night. Ms Deb offered to watch Reagan and Cooper for us. She even prepared dinner for them and put them to bed so we wouldn't have to worry about anything or come home too early. We are so blessed to have this special lady in our lives. I know Reagan and Cooper feel the same way ~ she treats them as if they are her own grandchildren!

Fun with Cooper

While Reagan played in her castle, Cooper decided he would play with some of his (& Reagan's) toys that he never gets to play with because if Reagan is around, all the toys are hers and she had them 1st!!

Could he be the next Bobby Flay?
Such a cutie Can't I just play without you taking pictures all the time?
Mmm, Mmm good!
Doll stroller...nah
Reagan's trying to be helpful teaching Cooper how to play with his new book
Big smiles for supper ~ his favorite part of the night!

FairyTale

Today was Show and Share Day in Reagan's class. Someone must have brought in something princess related because that is all she talked about on the way home ~ "Am I a princess, mommy?", "Can I live in a castle?", "Are you a princess, mommy?", and on and on and on. So when we got home, I brought out one of her presents from Christmas 2006 ~ her princess castle!!!
She immediately had to change into her princess dress to go along with her castle
What's going on in there? To be a real princess, you also need a crown
So proud of her castle
Want to come play?
A few videos to show her excitement of being a princess and having a castle




Princess Reagan even joined us for dinner!!
