Splashin' Around

We put up the pool at home today so the kids could cool off and swim.  They had a great time splashing around.

Mall Fun

After gymnastics class today, we ran a few errands and took the kids to the mall to eat lunch and have a little fun.  Reagan chose to jump on the trampoline and Cooper chose the carousel.

ROAR!!

Cooper appears to be giving me the bird, but for those of us who know and love him, that's just how he points!

Cooper had all the fun he could take

Reagan still lookes sweet as ever!



After School Ice Cream Party

Reagan's after school program had an ice cream party to celebrate the upcoming end to the school year.  Of course, Cooper had to join since he is the unofficial mascot to the program!



Swim Like a Fish

Reagan and Cooper had another swim lesson tonight.  Getting a little better every time!

Kindergarten Picnic 2011

Reagan's school held an end of year picnic for the kindergartener's today.  Parents and grandparents were invited to come eat lunch and spend a little time playing with their child.

Reagan enjoyed her hot dog

Behavior

It was a rough behavior night for Cooper.  I think he was just tired from the weekend and adjusting to school again.  But, his behavior was so bad, he went to bad immediately after his bath ~ around 6:30.  After her bath, Reagan asked for a piece of paper because she wanted to make a card, which is not unusual.  She asked for help spelling a couple of words and needed some crayons.  When she finished, she said she wanted to leave this card for Cooper in the morning...

It's hard to stay frustrated when the boy is this cute!

he rolled over after the first picture, so of course I had to take another!
