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!

 once we got home, Cooper rode his scooter for the first time since we bought it...last summer!

Monday Madness

Soccer practice was today instead of the usual Tuesday practice.  Since it was a beautiful sunny afternoon, Cooper and I exercised while Reagan practiced.  Never fear, pictures were still taken!!!

socks are THE accessory for soccer players (at least 1st graders anyway!)

 Cooper played on the playground for a little while (trying to get mulch out of his shoes)

 climbing the monkey ladder

 he found James, a friend from swimming lessons last year to play with (James' sister is on Reagan's team)

 

 

 

Cooper rode his bike around the track while I walked

we rode/walked for about 2 miles

Reagan got to play goalie
