Painting Party

The PTA at Reagan's school held a painting party tonight.  Everyone was given a canvas to paint their interpretation of "greatness"  Reagan was in her element and had a great time.

Night at the Titanic

Reagan and I spent the night on the Titanic tonight with a hundred or so other Girl Scouts and their moms.  We were able to tour the museum, watch a movie and "sleep" on the ship.  We got our boarding passes for the ship at 9pm.  The boarding passes were real-life biographies of people who were actually on board the Titanic in 1912.  By the time the tour was over, we had learned about life on the ship for all classes of people and whether or not our person had survived.  Thankfully, both Reagan and my person survived.

We all had so much fun, even if we only got 3 hours of so-called sleep!

Fall Party

Cooper's class held its fall party this morning.  The kids were treated to pumpkin muffins, pumpkin shaped rice krispy treats, oranges and pretzels for their morning snack. After snack time, the kids played games including pumpkin bowling, & hot pumpkin.  They also got to play with homemade play-doh and made a craft.

After the party, Greg came and ate lunch with us.  Cooper thought he was big man on campus with both his parents there for lunch!
