TN Visit

Reagan, Cooper and I drove to Tennessee after school yesterday to spend the weekend with Mamaw and Papaw.  

Cooper's chore was to feed Sweetie the cat.  He took this chore very seriously!

 We just had to have a tea party ~ at Cooper's request!

 pouring tea for Papaw

 cheers!

 Even though it was a little wet outside, Cooper wanted to swing

 he convinced Papaw to push him

 Reagan did a little art work

 Cooper let Papaw take a break and swing with him

 then, he decided he would push Papaw

 Cooper tried to ride a bike, but it was a little too pink and a little too small for him!

 Reagan brought her scooter

 Cooper decided that he would ride his scooter just like the girls

The girls flirted with a couple of boys in the neighborhood

 Papaw brought out refreshments for the kids

 What a day!

Scootin'

The kids wanted to go for a ride around the neighborhood this afternoon.

let's go!

 they have to wait at each stop sign so I can catch up!

 I caught this sweet interaction between them!

Ms Liberty

Reagan had a "National Symbol" project due for school.  Her symbol was the Statue of Liberty.  She had to write a report and do some sort of project.  

She dressed up as the Statue of Liberty

 Cooper couldn't be left out!

 Here's her report.  The instructions were to be 3 or 4 sentences in the student's own words. 

Cooper's Field Trip

Even though today is not Cooper's "regular" school day, his class was going on a field trip to a local gymnastics center (not the one we attend).  We met everyone there and the class had a great time!
