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!!

Tub Time

Bath nights are always fun at our house. Cooper and Reagan both love to play in the water ~ and fight over tub toys!!!

He is so full of himself!

Reagan loves to put the toys to night-night with washcloths as their blankets
Payback for all those times she's hit him!

Such a sweet girl!

Testing out his new climbing skills

Almost got it

After bath, it's time to rock!

Playing puzzles with daddy

Hair Cut

Not only did Cooper get his haircut on Saturday, but I did too. I needed a little pick me up and thought short hair may do the trick!

Let It Rain!

Reagan received a Scrap N Stuff Umbrella from Mamaw & Papaw Carpenter for Christmas this year, and today we finally had time and all the supplies needed to put it together.

Getting all the stickers, glue and papers organized

Reagan was very careful in choosing which stickers went where
The finished product. I really hope it rains this week so she can show it off to all her classmates. She's been telling Ms. Gomery about it since Christmas!

Cupcakes for Papaw Rick

Yesterday was my dad's 59th birthday (hope you don't mind me telling your age). Reagan really wanted to go see him, but we finally convinced her it was not a "trip day", but she could bake him some cupcakes in his honor. Say no more, she was ready to go! She picked out the cake mix and frosting at the grocery store all by herself. She decided papaw would like Vanilla Confetti cake mix with vanilla frosting.

Hygiene ~ important as always

Mixing the batter
Licking the spatula

Cooper wants some cake batter too

Helping her brother out

Can't believe she's sharing her cake batter (by the look on her face, she's not real happy about it!)

She had to lick the beaters too

Cooper enjoying Reagan's zest for baking

Not too many crumbs on the high chair!

A video message from Reagan ~ "Happy Birthday Papaw! I'm going to eat your cupcake!"

Yum, Yum!

This is so good
