School Spirit with Chuck E Cheese

Today was also our make-up day for the fundraiser we had scheduled at Chuck E Cheese a couple of months ago when it snowed. The kids had a great time!

Lunch with Reagan

During the "Week of the Young Child" activities at school, parents were invited to eat lunch with their child one day this week. Today was my day to eat with Reagan. Ms Sandy fixed us a delicious meal of tacos, corn and peaches ~ although Reagan said it was not her favorite meal, her favorite meal is french fries and applesauce!

School Spirit Day

The theme for today was School Spirit Day, so each child was asked to wear their school shirts or a red shirt if they didn't have the official school shirt.

Miss School Spirit

they had been fighting over who got to stand where for the picture (Cooper obviously lost!)

Tacky Day

This week, Reagan and Cooper's school is celebrating "The Week of the Young Child" with different activities planned every day. Today is tacky day, and they were asked to dress in some of their tackiest outfits! You should have seen some of the looks we (well I, because I'm the one who dresses them) got from the college students as we walked into school!

Fighting over who is the tackiest

Baking Brownies

It's the weekend, so it must be time to make a dessert! We decided on brownies for this week's treat.

Reagan saw a spoon on the box, so she had to go get one out of the drawer

Pouring the brownie mix in the bowl
Adding the water

Pouring in the oil all by herself

Mixing with care

Such joy in licking the spoon

Even better when you put the whole spoon in your mouth

Cooper didn't want Reagan to have all the fun ~ he had to put his fingers in the bowl too!

Sunday Best

Just a couple of snapshots before going to church this morning.

This was the best shot of the both of them

Isn't she beautiful?
Cooper didn't slow down for very long ~ he doesn't understand my desire to take pictures of him

He's ready to go to church!

Family Date

Today, Reagan said she wanted mommy and Cooper to go with her and daddy on their date ~ "we can have a family date!" We all thought it was a great idea, so off to the IHOP we went. After having a delicious pancake breakfast, we went shopping for a mattress for Reagan's big girl bed!

Let's go eat!!

School Days

Reagan was so excited that it was going to be a warm sunny day and she could wear one of her new dresses. She even offered to get her picture taken. So of course, I took her up on it!

So cute before school

Cooper wanted to be like Reagan and have his picture made too!Sweet brother and sister

Reagan talks to her daddy every day on the way to school

Cooper isn't much of a talker in the mornings!

Just a little something Reagan picked up at school today!

How Does That Happen?

How does he get so messy eating spaghetti ~ even when I feed him????

Isn't he cute though?
