Family Date Night

Cooper was scheduled to have his first soccer practice of the spring session tonight, but the weather had other plans.  So, we made other plans too ~ we went out to dinner...on a Thursday!

Cooper loves corn on the cob!

Cookie Booth

Tonight was Reagan's first Cookie Booth of the season.  They sold around 100 boxes of cookies within two hours.  The girls were so excited (and a little hyper) to be selling cookies at the booth.

great customer service!

Date w/ Reagan

Reagan, Greg & I had a date on Saturday (Cooper spent the night with Gigi and Bubba).  We ate at a favorite local restaurant and then Reagan had Menchie's for dessert.

Skating Party

Today was the end of the winter ice skating session, so they held an end of session party.  The kids got to show off their newly learned skills, play some games and skate without instruction.

Family Fun Night 2015

Tonight was Family Fun Night at Reagan's school.  Greg was in Pittsburgh, PA, and Cooper didn't think he'd have too much fun, so it was just the girls tonight!  Reagan played games and did crafts for a few hours.

Take My Kids to Work Day

School was closed again today due to inclimate weather.  So instead of paying for another day of childcare, I took the kids to the office with me!

 hard at work

 This is the reason school was cancelled:(

there was freezing rain/sleet before noon, but this was the scene most of the day!

 Time to go home - the work day is done!

We celebrated National Pancake Day at IHOP tonight.  We each enjoyed a short stack of pancakes!  The kids thought it was so much fun to have pancakes for dinner.  Such a fun treat for them!

ready to eat!

Skating Day

Reagan had ice skating practice again today.  I haven't taken pictures or watched her practices in a few weeks.  I'm trying to let her be more independent, although it hasn't been easy!

Saturday Stuff

The kids and I stayed home today while Greg helped some friends with their move.  The kids and I worked a little, then had a little fun!

Cooper helped by cleaning the return air grates

 After chores, we had a little dance party in the hall

Reagan joined in on the fun too!

Later in the afternoon, Girl Scout Cookie delivery began in the neighborhood

 Samoas are Reagan's personal favorite

The Eyes Have It!

Reagan has been complaining of itchy eyes and excessively blinking over the past few months.  After her appointment was postponed due to the snow & ice, she was able to see the optometrist today.

The doctor said she didn't need glasses yet (although she is a teensy-bit near sighted) and gave her eye drops to help with the dry eyes (to stop the blinking) and also gave her an antibiotic because she has allergies in her eyes which causes the itchiness.
