Yard Work

After breakfast at IHOP, running errands and lunch at Old McDonald's, the kids agreed to do a little yard work before watching a movie for the evening.

Reagan's job was to put the leaves in the bag

 Cooper's job was to rake the leaves

 teamwork!

 Cooper took a little time out to play

 dad came out and helped too

 mom helped too, but also took time to take a few pictures 

Cooper said that "daddy was a big strong man", He was a "strong little man", Mom was "a good helper woman" and Reagan was a "good helper girl".

Playing Catch Up

Just playing catch up from the last few weeks worth of school activities.

Cooper - learned all about bats

 We learned Cooper's favorite shape was a square!

 Cooper also learned that bears hibernate and eat "fesh"

 Cooper likes to play with dad in a snowball fight!

 Reagan became Student of the Week at her After School Program

 Reagan also earned a certificate and movie day at school for reading 5 books over the summer, writing a letter to the author and illustrating each book. 

Lost Again

The Tooth Fairy sure has been busy at the Sandidge house this week!  Reagan pulled her own tooth this morning - #9!

Laser Tag

Cooper was invited to a friend's birthday party today.  The party was held at a local laser tag facility.  Although the accessories were adult sized, the kids had a great time!

Lost It!

It was a big day for my boy - he lost his first tooth!  He pulled it out himself at school.  He looks so cute with his snaggle-tooth grin!

 he still has a great smile!

 His permanent tooth is already starting to show through

Reagan wore her stylish blue jean jacket to school today.  She wanted to get her picture made looking "so beautiful"!
