What's in a Name?

Cooper has decided he would like to be French.  Every time I fix his name train, he changes it to this...

1st Day of Pre-K

Today was Cooper's first day of Pre-K!  He was very excited about going back to school and making new friends.
he wanted a picture inside the house
 ...outside the house
 ...with his backpack and sign
 ...and the full view of his new T-Rex backpack
Cooper had an awesome day.  He even took a nap!!  This boy doesn't meet a stranger and he came home with 2 best friends today.  He doesn't know their names, but they are his best friends!!!

Roller Skating

Another of Reagan's classmates had a birthday party this weekend.  Today's party was held at the roller skating rink...and Cooper was invited too.  It was the first time either of them had been skating (and the first time I had skated in about 18 years!)!
the fun begins with a refreshing drink
 a little unsure of herself
 going it alone without mom
 getting better
 Cooper said his roller skates were "really rolly and make him do crazy things"!
 he finally decided to come out on the rink
 he didn't want to let go of the wall
 can you say FAKE smile?
 that's more like it (of course, he is on solid ground!)
 watching the cake being cut
 yummy.
the kids did great skating.  Reagan actually let go of the wall and "skated" around by herself by the end of the party.  Cooper held my hands while he skated. And, I am going to be sore tomorrow!!!

Sleepover Sunday

There are no pictures today, because neither of the kids are home.  They are both at sleepovers. 

Reagan is at her VERY first sleepover with a friend tonight.  They have big things planned - going to a festival downtown, eating truck food, playing and watching fireworks.

Cooper is spending the night with Gigi & Bubba.  I'm sure they have big things planned to ~ a boat ride, riding the 4 wheeler, playing and ice cream!!

So, it's just Greg and I at home tonight.  What fun things do we have in store?  Cleaning out and organizing the garage, hanging pictures, etc, etc, etc!!
